Hi @Amjed Ali ,

1. The latest version of Windows Server is 2019 Essentials and Exchange 2019 CU8.
   The Exchange and Windows Small Business Server are two different products. The Windows SBS 2011 include Exchange and POP3 Connectors, but after that, Exchange features were removed.
2. No, after Windows SBS 2011, all Exchange features have been removed include POP3 Connectors. But Exchange has already include the POP3 protocol, and there are also some third-party POP3 connectors.
3. Yes, you could use POP3 services provided by Exchange Server.
4. If you are going to upgrade Exchange 2010 to 2019, you will have to first migrate it to Ex 2013 or 2016 and then migrate to Ex 2019. 1). First check the version of the Exchange, at least Exchange 2010 SP3 to coexist with Exchange 2013 and SP3 RU11 to coexist with Exchange 2016. Update guide
   2). This guide How to Migrate SBS 2011 to Server 2016 (Exchange 2016)? has a guidance on the migration, you can follow it to first migrate to Windows Server 2016 and
   Exchange 2016.
   3). And then Migrate Exchange 2016 to Exchange 2019, it would be easier.
