POP stands for Post Office Protocol. POP fetching refers to the way an email program, like Excite Mail , retrieves new email messages from another email account that resides on a remote POP server. With Excite Mail, you can access email from up to five POP accounts. Your company or ISP email account, most likely, resides on a POP server. Visit your mail provider's Web site.
Providers often post server information on site.
Contact your ISP or your company's network administrator and ask if you have a POP-based email account. To add a POP mail account to your Excite Mail account, return to your Inbox, and click POP Fetching . Toward the bottom of the page, click Configure POP Mail . The mail server address is commonly found in your email program's Edit or View menu, under Preferences or Options . If you cannot find your mail server address, contact your ISP or ask your company's network administrator.
