SMTP can be used for sending and receiving mail, but it doesn't handle
passwords.  You can't send mail with POP - at least, not with any of the POP
servers I've ever encountered.  (Technically, you don't actually "receive"
mail with POP either; it allows you to access an existing mailbox on a
remote machine.)
