Editing Email (section)

===POP3 email servers===
The [[Post Office Protocol]] 3 (POP3) is a mail access protocol used by a client application to read messages from the mail server. Received messages are often deleted from the [[server (computing)|server]]. POP supports simple download-and-delete requirements for access to remote mailboxes (termed maildrop in the POP RFC's).<ref>{{cite book | last = Allen | first = David | title = Windows to Linux | publisher = Prentice Hall | year = 2004 | page = 192 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=UD0h_GqgbHgC&q=network%2B+guide+to+networks | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161226051835/https://books.google.com/books?id=UD0h_GqgbHgC&printsec=frontcover&dq=network%2B+guide+to+networks&ct=result&resnum=1 | archive-date = 2016-12-26 | isbn = 978-1423902454 }}</ref> POP3 allows downloading messages on a local computer and reading them even when offline.<ref>{{cite IETF
