What is the difference between POP3 email accounts, email forwarders, and autoresponders?

POP3 email accounts are mailboxes used for your website email and which are checked from the server directly. Click here for further instructions on setting up a new POP3 email account through your Control Panel. A person may setup a POP3 account and retrieve their mail using a program like Eudora Mail or Microsoft Outlook. Click here for instructions on how to setup your email programs.

An Email Forwarder/Alias is an email address in which all emails are automatically forwarded to an alternative existing email account. For instance, you may forward all email to info@youdomain.com to erika@aol.com. Click here for further instructions on setting up an Email Forwarder.
