The mail gets delivered to you using SMTP.  (This enables you to have as
many mailboxes as you like.)  You must have an SMTP server running when
you log on to Demon.

Once the mail is on your computer you do with it what you want.  If you
want to you can run a POP3 server so that POP3 clients can be used to
read mail.  However these read from your machine not Demon's.  The only
negative is that you cannot get mail by remote POP3 access.
