Many email systems can now be accessed using only a Web browser. There is no need to install client email software of any kind. Logically, Web browser interfaces to email are like IMAP, in that all the messages remain on the server unless explicitly deleted. (Message copies can be saved on the client computer.)
I'd like to set up my
Windows Mail, the Vista Outlook, but it asks for POP3 snf SMPTs which I need to know for Microsoft.com
In the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) server box, type pop3.live.com. In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server box, type smtp.live.co
The IMAP protocol differs from the POP3 protocol is that the IMAP doesnt require the user to download all the emails to the PC to check for new emails. It is also much easier to distinguish between read and unread emails while using the IMAP as oppose to the POP3. Some other difference is the IMAP is that you can create multiple email accounts from the PC where as the POP3 requires new email accounts to be created on the server. Another difference is that with IMAP emails can be deleted directly through the server where as the POP3 emails are deleted on the PC.

Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 email server. It is used to send emails on the Linux/UNIX-like computer systems.
Check if your mail server supports IMAP and if it does you can switch your account from POP3 to IMAP and then upload all your mesages back to the folder on your server. And you can also switch all other accounts on your IMAP and then you will be checking your email right on the server. And its not going to go anywhere from the server. Its going to have a copy on your local computer but it will also leave a copy on your server. Thats how gmail works and thats how yahoo works.
POP3 is actually Post Office Protocol 3 which is an enhanced version of the standard protocol for receiving email. POP3 is a client/server protocol in which the email can be received.
