Abstract
POP, the Post Office Protocol, is a simple protocol for downloading e-mail from a server. It is typically used through an e-mail client like Thunderbird or Outlook. You can reread the first few sections of Chapter 13 if you want the big picture of where e-mail clients and protocols like POP fit into the history of Internet e-mail.
