I have my own POP because I have a domain (www.nailsea.net) which is hosted
by a provider who supplies one (www.webfusion.co.uk). Other domain hosts
just forward your email on, so don't provide a POP. Webfusion don't however
provide an ISP or outgoing mail service, hence my use of Freeserve and Free
Online.
My setup for my email specifies mail.nailsea.net as my incoming mail server
and smtp.freeserve.net for my outgoing mail. For this to work I have to log
on via Freeserve or the SMTP won't accept my mail - an anti-spam device.

How much does it cost to have your own POP (is this another way of
saying domain name?) and how does it work - e.g. what do you fill in
for the incoming and outgoing mail server names in your email
software?
