POP3 will download all the messages to your computer while IMAP leaves a copy on the server until the user explicitly deletes them.
Email forwarding is the operation of redirecting email from one email address to another email address. Email forwarding can also redirect mail going to one address and send it to one or several other addresses. Vice versa, email items going to several different addresses can converge via forwarding to end up in a single address Inbox.
SMTP or Simple Mail Transport Protocol is an Internet standard for email transmission across Internet Protocol networks. Some clients and servers typically only use SMTP for sending messages to a mail server & POP / IMAP to access their mail box while some other agents use SMTP to send and receive mail messages.
Webmail (or Web-based email) is an email service allowing users to send and receive emails via their website. Webmail can be accessed via a web browser, as opposed to through a desktop email client (such as Microsoft Outlook, Pegasus Mail, Mozilla's Thunderbird, or Apple Inc.'s Mail).
POP stands for Post Office Protocol. This is a protocol used to retrieve email from a mail server. Most e-mail applications use the POP protocol. The newest and most widely used version of POP email is POP3 email. IMAP is another Internet standard protocol for email retrieval. You will see the term POP3 / IMAP in most of the Web Hosting plans available today.

The SSL or Secure Sockets Layer is an encryption layer that encodes information that is exchanged between a client and a server. SSL uses two keys − a public key known to everyone to encrypt data and a private or secret key known only to the recipient of the message to decrypt data. An SSL certificate (a file installed on the web server) allows you to apply SSL encryption technology to your site. When an internet user submit sensitive information like identity information, credit card numbers, or confidential records, the SSL certificate turns that information into random letters, numbers and symbols and send it over the internet along with a key to decode the message. Only the program or server that has the proper key can turn the useless information back into usable payment information.
