What is pop3 mail and what is SMTP and how do you email someone?
pop3 (post office protocol 3) and smtp (simple mail transfer protocol) are two types of e-mail protocol that some ISP's use. (mine does, but its a local provider, and im not sure of the preferences of the rest of the country.) To e-mail someone, you need an e-mail client installed on your computer, the most popular on windows being Outlook or Outlook Express. You'd need to set up your account in that program, and to do that you need your e-mail address, the name the pop3 server (usually pop3.mail.yourisphere.com) and the smtp server (usually smtp.mail.yourisphere.com) and you'd also have to know your password that either the isp gives you, or that you set up with the isp.
