If I setup postfix to recieve emial before I setup up a pop3 server will 
the mail be stored or will it be discarded?

I want to setup a box to recieve messages and then be able to have 2 
users log in a recieve the messges and the message source will never 
change. 

When I look at some of the docuementation on the net for postfix and a 
pop server a lot of it is overly complicated for what I need to do.
