- Advantages are :
-
- 1.) You can receive email with Eudora or Netscape, no need for AddMail.
-
- 2.) You can receive your email from anywhere in the world as long as
- you're connected to part of the internet.
-
- SMTP can only transfer within the host server's network.
-
- POP3 can serve to any network with the appropriate password.
-
- The last info I have on Demon prices is from Jan 1995. It was ú25 for set
- up andèwait for itèú180 per year for the service. You should get a hold
- of the latest version of the Demon POP3.txt document from the ftp server.
- It explains all about POP3 and Demon's service of it.
