POP3 is an internet protocol for retrieving email. Most email programs (Eudora, Outlook, Netscape, etc.) will support it. Generally, it is used to move email from a server to a local computer.
You do not get POP3 support with the free Yahoo mail, but with Yahoo Mail Plus you do. Presumably, you would be told the server to use if you subscribe to the premium mail server.

POP3 is a commonly implemented method of delivering email from the mail server to the client machine. Other methods include IMAP and Microsoft Exchange. The POP3 server specified in a person's email program specifies where to look for email that is directed to a particular email address. This should never be changed unless told to by the ISP or company IT department that provides the email address.
No, the free version has stopped support of POP3

POP3 is the server that receives email at a website.
To pull your email into your computer, the email program needs to know the name of the POP3 server, your user id and password.
Ask your ISP what the name of the POP3 server is and how to form your user id. If you have your own website ask the hoster how to form your POP3 server name and user id.
Sometimes the user id is the same as that part of the email address before the "@" and sometimes it is the whole email address - but it could be something else.
All email addresses have a POP3 server or some sort of receiving server, but sometimes you do not have access to it.

POP3
(Post Office Protocol 3) A standard interface between an e-mail client program and the mail server, defined by IETF RFC 1939. POP3 and IMAP4 are the two common mailbox access protocols used for Internet e-mail. POP3 provides a message store that holds incoming e-mail until users log on and download it.
POP3 is a simple system with limited selectivity. All pending messages and attachments are downloaded when users check their mail. See IMAP4, SMTP and messaging system.

In computing, local e-mail clients use the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3), an application-layer Internet standard protocol, to retrieve e-mail from a remote server over a TCP/IP connection. Nearly all subscribers to individual Internet service provider e-mail accounts access their e-mail with client software that uses POP3.

Post Office Protocol, version 3. It's a method of storing and retrieving e-mail using e-mail clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. Yahoo only offers it for paying customers. If you have a freebie account, you can't use POP3.

It is a method of sending and receiving email messages over the network. Please note that the email we access using programs like MS-OUTLOOK, are POP 3 based and the emails like test@yahoo.com are web based email. There is difference between POP 3 mails and Web mails. POP 3 mails are known for faster retrieval while web based mails can be accessed anywhere using the Intrenet Browser.
