VPOP3 is an Internet email server and gateway for small and medium sized businesses (and some larger ones too!)

How VPOP3 Works

VPOP3 hosts its own POP3 mailboxes for users on your local network and will fetch mail from ISP accounts to put into these mailboxes. Thus, if all the mail for yourdomain.com goes into one ISP POP3 mailbox, for instance, VPOP3 will retrieve it all and distribute it among the appropriate users' mailboxes. Outgoing mail is stored by VPOP3 and then sent when it next connects.

The mail retrieval operation can be scheduled to occur at specific times and it can be optionally triggered by the action of sending a message with the priority set to urgent.

Economy

VPOP3 has a much lower cost than other equivalent services. Many companies only require a mail server, and want to avoid having mail stored on a remote server. Why? Because every time a user checks for mail, it activates your communications link. If you are using ISDN or a dial-up account, this can get expensive, with the line being kept permanently in use in some cases.

The solution : Set up a machine with VPOP3 on your network, with a modem and an Internet connection. After installation, VPOP3 will call the Internet at regular intervals and collect all your mail. Point your internal mail clients at the machine running VPOP3 and it automatically sorts the mail to the correct user.

VPOP3 is perfect for the small or medium sized business that wants fully integrated email. By controlling email "checks" and collating downloading into one process, VPOP3 can provide significant savings on your phone bill.
