	RFC 1939 (rfc1939) - Post Office Protocol - Version 3
		The Post Office Protocol - Version 3 (POP3) is intended to permit a workstation to dynamically access a maildrop on a server host in a useful fashion.
		Usually, this means that the POP3 protocol is used to allow a workstation to retrieve mail that the server is holding for it.
		Such message deletions are outside the scope of the POP3 protocol and are not considered a protocol violation.

		POP 4 is a specification for a few extensions to the POP 3 internet email protocol that gives much greater flexibility to email client programs without adding a heavy burden to the POP server.
		POP 3 is based on the principal of providing simple functionality on the server and putting all of the intelligence on the client.
		Post Office Protocol is the most common protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server.

	Post Office Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, local email clients use the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3), an application-layer Internet standard protocol, to retrieve email from a remote server over a TCP/IP connection.
		In contemporary usage, the less precise term POP almost always means POP3 in the context of email protocols.
		The design of POP3 and its predecessors supports end users with intermittent connections (such as dial-up connections), allowing these users to retrieve email when connected and then to view and manipulate the retrieved messages without needing to stay connected.

	Post Office Protocol Version 4. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		POP 4 adds a few functions that allow the server to perform some more useful functionality while adding very little complexity to the server.
		The design goal was to create a server protocol based on POP3 that had the minimum functionality required to operate a useful web-based mail client.
		To this end, the protocol is every bit as simple as POP 3, very little was added in terms of grammar to support the new commands.

	POP3
		Post Office Protocol version 3 is an application layer Internet standard protocol used to retrieve email from a remote server to a local client over a TCP/IP connection.
		The earlier versions of the POP protocol, POP (informally called POP1) and POP2, have been thoroughly made obsolete by POP3.
		POP3 and its predecessors are designed to allow end users with intermittent connections such as dial-up connections to retrieve email when connected, and then to view and manipulate the retrieved messages without needing to stay connected.

	Post Office Protocol (POP) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Post Office Protocol (POP) is an electronic mail protocol with both client (sender and receiver) and server (storage) functions.
		POP allows storage in a central location of mail for multiple users until a user's electronic mail program makes a request for delivery.
		The SMTP server then forwards the mail to a POP server, which sorts the mail and stores it for the individual users to whom it is addressed.

	POP (Post Office Protocol)
		POP (the standard version is POP3, described by RFC 1725) is the way that most Web clients retrieve email from Internet mail servers.
		Like most Internet protocols, it is command-line-based, that is, all operations are performed by building text commands and sending them to the server.
		The terminating line is a period on a line by itself, which is pretty standard for mail protocols in general.

	Email Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) - Email Clients
		Elective Proposed protocols were discussed and agreed to, but their application has never come into wide use.
		The most common protocol used by email clients to communicate with email servers is the Post Office Protocol first defined in RFC 918, with Version 2 published as RFC 937, and POP Version 3 published as RFC 1725.
		The POP3 protocol enables any email program anywhere on the Internet to connect to any email server to perform the usual email functions, such as reading and sending, as long as they have a valid account and password.

		Substantial work was done on examining POP in a PC-based environment.
		This work, which resulted in additional functionality in this protocol, was performed by the ACIS Networking Systems Group at Stanford University.

		POP stands for Post Office Protocol and is a simple set of instructions that let your computer retrieve messages from the BOL mail server.
		After authenticating the request with the user's password, the POP protocol asks the server if there is any new mail, and if your mailbox on the server has messages, then POP usually downloads them to your computer and deletes them off the server.
		While Bruin OnLine users were previously limited to POP email service, they can now choose between POP and IMAP for their @ucla email.
