Exactly. If you only have email from work or school and access that email 
via Outlook and an MS-Exchange server the device *may not* work with that 
account. You can always get a gmail account and be done with it, though.

SMTP sends and receives, but it's rarely used that way in the client/server 
environment. Yes, typically you use POP3 to connect to your mail server for 
reading and use SMTP for sending from the client to the server Or IMAP since 
we're dotting i's and crossing t's here. Mail server to mail server 
send/receive uses only SMTP. If you're sitting on your (*NIX) mail server 
reading your email you don't need POP3 or IMAP, just a mail reader.

The point I was making to the buyer was, you *need* a POP3 accessable email 
account and I should have never uttered SMTP as not to confuse. With a 
Pocketmail device it's all transparent, but you need a phone.

The whole world doesn't live and die by windows/mac.
