Your phrasing of the question indicates a misunderstanding of the way mail works. You don't have a POP3 mailbox; you couldn't, as there is no such thing. You have a mailbox that you retrieve mail from using the POP3 protocol. It is placed *into* the mailbox using the specific routing mechanism of the mail server itself. In your scenario there would only be one POP3 connection to your mailbox: the one you are using. So whether it allows one connection or 42, that is immaterial. POP3 is a pure retrieval protocol and has nothing to do with how the mail gets *into* the mailbox (or server either, for that matter)
