- Maybe this is a stupid question, but I am rather novice in this area.
-
- Are POP2 and POP3 completely different products, or is there some
- compatibility involved.
- I use POPMAIL from boombox, this came with a POP2 server.
- This server I installed on a SUN an now I can do E-mail from my PC.
- Works great.
- After that I installed WINQVT on my PC. This program has a mail facility
- too. But when I invoke it the complaint is: "Missing POP3 server".
- Question: If I install a POP3 server, will both products work, or
- do I have to use POP2 for POPMAIL and POP3 for WINQVT?
