- What are the advantages and disadvantages of using POP2 vs. POP3?
- I'm running the Sun souped-up pop2 server that comes with PC-NFS,
- and the popper pop3 server from ftp.cc.berkeley.edu, so I can cover
- clients that only support one protocol or the other, but which one
- should I use for clients that can talk both protocols?
- Is pop3 more reliable, or faster, or does it just support extra fancy
- features that don't affect basic post-office applications?
