Download webmail with a pop3 client?

Is it possible to download web email (e.g. mail2world.com) with a pop3 email client? What are the POP and SMTP settings?

According to their website, yes: http://www.mail2world...nfo.asp?Reg=True#pop3

They don't say so try these:

pop.mail2world.com
pop3.mail2world.com
smtp.mail2world.com
mail.mail2world.com

Alternatively, why don't you just ask them...?

Depends on if the service supports it, most of the main ones do but it seems mail2world only offer it for their platinum service.

I hadn't spotted that Chuck. They look a bit iffy to me...

Chuck, thanks, I saw that too about platinum - and Mark, thanks I will try these server settings - hope they'll work. Not prepared to go platinum with mail2world.

Personally, for any service that's intended to be web based I'd use IMAP on the client if I wanted to use one, then you retain the option of using it via the web interface on other computers.

The server setting for imap would be imap.mail2world.com and it's on port 993.

(outbound would probably be smtp.mail2world.com on port 25)

Thank you Chuck I'll try this too. I don't know much about IMAP though.
