How much mail can I have stored on each POP3 account?
You can store up to the Megabytes of storage available on your hosting account.
However, there may be limitations set by you specific to each POP3 account you have setup. For example, you may create an account for a friend and limit their disk usage to 1 Megabyte. This includes any attachments that may be included with the email message.
It is always a good idea to check your email regularly. If your email tests the limitation, any additional incoming email will bounce and thus, will not be delivered.

What do I enter for my POP3 (incoming) mail server in my mail client?
Your POP3 incoming mail server should be set to: mail.yourdomain.com
Using this setting will allow you to check for any email on any POP3 account that is setup on your domain.

What is the difference between a POP3 e-mail account and a regular e-mail account?
Take a Hotmail e-mail account versus a POP3 account you have on your account with Hosting-Unlimited as an example. With your hotmail account, you cannot use an external e-mail client to check for new messages or send outgoing messages. Instead, you must visit the hotmail website, log into your account in order to perform these functions. In the meantime, you are subjected to advertisements, and the process is restricted to a web-interface.
On the other hand, your POP3 accounts are accessible from any compatible e-mail client. This allows for added functionality on your side (such as the ability to check for new messages every so often, create filters, etc.). If you prefer a web-based e-mail system, you can use Neomail, SquirrelMail or Horde, accessible through your Control Panel.

What is the difference between POP3 E-mail account and an e-mail forwarder?
POP3 email account is a special kind of email account that comes with a login and password. A POP3 account allows the user to send and receive new messages from this email address. An email forwarder does none of the above, and only forwards all email sent to a particular e-mail address @yourdomain.com to a specific POP3 email account.

Why can't I connect to the POP3 server?
There are several reasons why
you may not be able to connect
to the POP3 server, and thus,
not be able to check your POP3
account(s) for new messages.
Use the following guideline to
solve this sort of problem:
1. Make sure you first have
a connection to the Internet.
Verify this by visiting a website.
2. Make sure your e-mail client
is configured properly according
to the instructions in your welcome
email. This does not apply if
you have checked for new e-mail
before and have not changed your
configurations since.
3. Have you successfully connected
to the POP3 server from this
location before? In other words,
are you trying to connect to
the POP3 server for the first
time or from a new location for
the first time?
4. Verify that you are not behind
a firewall! If you are at work,
this should be your first clue.
If you find that you are behind
a firewall, verify with the network
administrator that port 110 is
allowed. If it
is not, this is the reason you
cannot connect to the POP3 server.
5. Call your ISP or whoever is
providing you the connection
to the Internet and verify that
port 110 (POP3) is not denied.
If it is, this is
the reason you cannot connect
to the POP3 server.
6. Finally, log into your Control
Panel, and click the server name
where your domain is hosted.
Verify that POP3 service is not
currently unavailable.
If you get this far and are
still unable to connect, try
to connect to another POP3 server
that you may access to, such
as your ISPs POP3
server. At this point, the problem
is most likley on the client
side.

Does email on the server count towards my allotted space?
Yes. Any email you have stored on the server counts as storage for your account. This is one reason we recommend not storing email on the server. Once you download and read your mail, you should ensure that your email client deletes the mail from the server.
In the configuration settings for your email client, make sure that you do not have the option selected to "Leave mail on server" if you do not wish to store email on the server.
