Hey there..

The terminology is not correct which is probably why you are having trouble understanding its meaning.

Most likely this is what they mean...

POP3 = Actual Email accounts. As in the user yourname@yourname.com would login to check their mail using username "yourname" password "theirpass".

Unlimited Email Addresses = Unlimited Email Aliases. This would mean that you can setup the POP3 account "yourname" to receive email directed to yourname@yourname.com, yourname2@yourname.com, yourname3@yourname.com, etc.

Hopefully that clears things up for you...

Or maybe they offer unlimited web based email account, using everyone.net or something like that.

Mailing your host might be a good idea for an accurate answer.
