POP3 or post office protocol is a form of internet message access protocol that has been around for the longest.This form of hosting was designed with the intent of supporting offline or local email processing.

Email is delivered to email servers in POP3 hosting, wherein the messages are downloaded from the server by remote email clients and then transferred to the user’s PC.After transferring the email, it is permanently removed from the email server.

With POP3 hosting, there is no need of being logged to the internet to read and reply to your mails as all your mails are in your PC.You can store all your replies in a hold folder, and if required, edit them before posting.It is also possible to allocate priorities to your message with scheduled dates and time for posting the messages.

Another advantage of POP3 web hosting is that you find it very quick and easy to open your emails as they are already on your computer.In addition to this, there are also no limitations to the size of the emails you send or receive in POP3 web hosting.You also have no maximum size on your mailbox to adhere to; all you have to do is to follow the size of the hard drive.

There are also some disadvantages to POP3 web hosting, in addition to its advantages.One of them is the possibility of you getting targeted by the rogue JavaScript found in emails, especially if you have a JavaScript enabled email reader.

Another disadvantage is that the messages that are stored in your hard drive may end up using valuable space that could have been used for other purposes.There is also the disadvantage of your computer suffering from virus attacks if all the attachments that are stored in your computer are not scanned properly.The last disadvantage is that it is possible for outsiders to read your mail by using applications for opening mail folders.
