Mailing has always fascinated me and from the daily I first joined the circle of the net-mailing I really kept looking for email service which provided that extra quality.
I tried Yahoo!, Hotmail and
many other email service providers but soon found that they all come with the extra add-on SPAM.
So I then moved on as was looking for a email service provider which could provide me with both POP and SMTP servers so that the mailing task is purely simplified.
I basically download my mail through a email client and then read then after getting online.This really saves time and money.
So HOTPOP was there for the rescue providing me with both POP and SMTP servers and a excellent email facility.
The Home
The Homepage on HOTPOP has two versions 1)Lite Site 2)Graphical Highfi site.
The Lite version of the website is for those people who have a slow modem and the highfi for those who have a faster one.
Doesn’t make any difference though, if it weren’t for the graphics.
LITE SITE - https://hotpop.com/index.jsp?LITE=1
HIGH FI - https://hotpop.com
So make your click.
The Services they provide
I sure can write a lot about the services they provide and sure they have a excellent facility lined up, just inorder to make Hotpop the best email site.
1)Fast Signup - The sign up process is as simple as signing up for mouthshut, only a few questions asked and you are ready to go.
Ignore the extra email service like Joining Mailing list etc.
2)Mail Forwarding - Now email forwarding is made easy to setup.Forward emails to 3 email address.Isn’t that hot
3)POP ACCESS : You can use Hotpop to download message to your email client, or let me say you only can.
4)SMTP ACCESS: Don’t use your ISP’s SMTP anymore, Hotpop provides you with SMTP so that you can send email using there server.
5)Cool @ address : You can have your email address in anyone of the following style
username@hotpop.com
username@PunkAss.com
username@SexMagnet.com
user
name@BonBon.net
username@ToughGuy.net
username@Phreaker.net
username@gamebox.n

Hotpop Explained
OK, let me tell you what hotpop really is.No it is not like those free email clients which provide web mail access.
HOTPOP ONLY SUPPORTS POP3 AND NOT WEB MAIL.So if you are a cafe user then hotpop is not where you should be clicking.
But if you have a computer at home, the log on and enjoy this service which really is the best.
Hotpop is here to stay
Atleast that what it’s home page says.You can either choose from the free service or choose from the premium account types available on their website.
Although going for a free service would be my advice.
POP AND SMTP
POP - POST OFFICE PROTOCOL :- It is a type of protocol which your email client uses in order to download mail from your email server to your computer.This protocol also can delete messages from the server.
The POP address for Hotpop is pop.hotpop.com
Just enter the username and password on the box in your email client and then you are off to download mail’s.
The SMTP jhol
For using the SMTP server of your hotpop account you first have to login to your pop account.After only which you can use the SMTP server.
This is the step used to see that only hotpop user’s access the hotpop server and no one else.
No more SPAM
Hotpop according to me has the best spam protection and still date I have received only 3 email message which were mass mailed.
Don’t know how they came in , but then after using the mail filter options I have blocked then and no more spam.
Web Login on Hotpop.com
After you log in to the hotpop account on the homepage, they provide you with a detail of the service they provide.So that sounds to be great for all user’s.
The Final Verdict
Hotpop is a really great service for those you have computer at home and sure they provide you with a great pop and smtp service.
Their service is really useful and you can save a lot of time.Not drawbacks according to me.So Enjoy the POP ride while your seat is burning HOT.
