I understand but that was not my point. My point is that you can put a web-based interface on top of your POP account to access it any where. You still have a POP account which you are accessing any where if that is what you want. The web-based interface is just another form of an email client. The point is that you don't need to use a web-based email without an underlying POP account in order to access email from any where. There are even places where HTTP web-based interface won't work (e.g. cell phone) and so you need to use a different form of email client to access. Still you can have an underlying POP account that mail is being drawn from.
