SMTP is for sending mails and POP3 is for receiving.

I don't know this is possible or not.

Definitely not possible.

Are you confirmed, pop3 protocols only used for receiving mails?. – Naveen K Oct 14 '13 at 05:00
The first result of Google says, 'POP3 is an internet-based standard for retrieval of e-mail by a user from an e-mail server.' – Shankar Narayana Damodaran Oct 14 '13 at 05:02
