Is there really a need for x number of POP boxes at host?
As I am becoming more and more familiar with how DNS, email servers, POP, SMTP and all that works I am beginning to realize that there is really no need for the 25-100 POP emails that so many hosters offer.
There seems to be only a need for ONE. Which receives emails from however many aliases (forwards) one wants to create. In turn an email client like Eudora picks up from the ONE POP box and filters it into different folders for ease of sorting and reading.
Does this make sense?
The only reason I can think of for needing more than ONE POP box is if one wants to have different people receiving and retrieving emails privately. With seperate user names and passwords for each POP box used. One to a person.
I am beginning to realize that many hosters also seem to make their plans appear to offer better value by offering multiples of this or that feature. Like mySQL databases. Most people only seem to need ONE POP box and ONE mySQL database. The extras just go to waste.
Any comments on the above?
Thanks.
Carlos
