Usually, when there's a discussion about e-mail systems and someone mentions
POP, they almost always mean POP3. POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol
version 3 and is a standard protocol for retrieving mail. There was a POP2,
but no one uses it anymore.
POP is also ISP lingo for Point of Presence, ie. a place where an ISP has a
hookup.
