not a tech,
so anyone forgive me if any mistakes on explanation,
pop3 applies to most domain emails such as [email address],
abccompany.com domain would be pop3 account, to manage their emails,
and blackberry gets emails directly from the server at abccompany, and can leave it on the server for when you access the same email from your desktop,
that is different than say yahoo email account,
or having your email at abccompany.com forwarded to another email so you can read it on your cellphone,
when i had verizon, it didnt have pop3 access and email had to be forwarded to either verizon email, or yahoo, so i can read it on my phone,
and to reply i would have to send it from the new email account, not from abccompany email

hope that helps
