What are POP accounts?

POP stands for Post Office Protocol. POP3 accounts are mailboxes that store your mail until you retrieve it. A POP3 account enables you to access email from any Internet-connected PC. Email to this type of account can be collected using POP3 mail programs such as Eudora Pro, Microsoft Outlook or Netscape mail. Having a POP3 account means that emails sit in your POP3 mailbox until downloaded from our server.

Once your POP account has been set up, you will be issued with a mailbox address, username and password so that you can access your email on the Corpex mail server (mail.corpex.net).

What is SMTP?

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol used to send and receive email. However, since it is limited in its ability to queue messages at the receiving end, it is usually used with the POP3 protocol. This lets the user save messages in a server mailbox and download them periodically from the server.

What is email forwarding?

Email forwarding allows email directed to a Domain Name to be forwarded to another email address. For example, if you want to have email sent to your personal email address, (e.g., john_doe@aol.com, or john_doe@hotmail.com), all emails directed to your Domain Name (e.g. johndoe@xyz.com) will be forwarded to your personal email account.

Our basic email forwarding package allows all emails addressed to a Domain Name to be forwarded on to one email address. For companies with more sophisticated forwarding needs, we can provide a package that can handle multiple email accounts.
