If you want to receive e-mails from the outside, yes, you'll have to register a domain, configure an MTA to work on windows and all that jazz. Besides, if you want to manage pop, you might as well start looking at the php4-imap / php5-imap module to be able to work with POP more easily. I might be mistaken, but I believe that installing an MTA on your PC will allow you to send/receive e-mails locally. Not sure if that suffices for your sittuation though. Either way, check Jay's google queries. They might give you an insight on some MTA servers you can use (I had to code a webmail application once and I found a few free MTA servers, so I believe you'll be able to do that to without breaking a swet :) Good luck with your project!
