Class variables holds the same value for all instances of your object. 
If you want different instances to be able to have different values you 
should declare them as instance variables in the __init__ method.

class PopMailServer:

     def __init__(self):
         self.host = ""
         self.user = ""
         self.password = "*"
         self.mails = 0
         self.mail = []
