Mail Protocol:
POP3

Mail is downloaded to your PC's hard disk and then deleted on the server. This prevents the mailbox from running full.
Most frequently chosen option for a user's primary PC (such as your office workstation).
IMAP4

Mail is viewed on your PC, but never copied to your local disk. Messages can be kept on the server so that they can be referred to again later. You need to keep a close eye on your mailbox space!
This is a popular option for a second PC (such as a laptop or the PC at home).
Web Messaging

Mail is viewed with any browser. Does not require any mail software. Messages can be kept on the server so that they can be referred to again later. You need to keep a close eye on your mailbox space!
This is a popular option while travelling.
