Advantages are :

1.) You can receive email with Eudora or Netscape, no need for AddMail.

2.) You can receive your email from anywhere in the world as long as
you're connected to part of the internet.

SMTP can only transfer within the host server's network.

POP3 can serve to any network with the appropriate password.

The last info I have on Demon prices is from Jan 1995.  It was £25 for set
up andwait for it£180 per year for the service.  You should get a hold
of the latest version of the Demon POP3.txt document from the ftp server. 
It explains all about POP3 and Demon's service of it.
