[code=php]
<?php

$to = $_POST['to'];
$subject = "Subject Here";
$from = $_POST['from'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$headers = "From: $from \r\n";
$headers.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 ";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0 ";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>
[/code]

This should work, and it is a HTML email. If you don't want it to be you can just change the headers.

And you have to Configure a SMTP server (For Local Server).

Locate your php.ini file and do the changes.

; Setup for Windows systems 
SMTP = smtp.your.isp.net 
sendmail_from = me@domain.com

; Setup for Linux systems 
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t 
sendmail_from = me@domain.com

And what is POP 3?

POP3 is the abbreviation for Post Office Protocol (version 3)
It is an e-mail protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a remote server over an Internet connection.
