There are plenty of web-based email providers that you can resort to, but having an email account with your own domain will give you more credibility if you are running a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limitations on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, you won’t encounter such problems and you will be able to use any program on your PC to check your mails, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even set up an email account on your mobile device. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your personal computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to use any email client and any desktop or mobile device to examine your email messages if you order any of our Linux shared hosting. Our mail servers support both email protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can select the one that satisfies your interests – you can download all email messages onto your home computer or you can keep the emails on the mail server in case you are running a firm and different employees need to have access to them, for instance. You can even download a configuration file for a certain email account for any of the three most widely used desktop email clients – Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird. You will simply have to run the file on your PC and that email account will be set up automatically. In case you wish to use your smartphone, we have included exhaustive tutorials on how to configure a mailbox on an Android- or an iOS-powered handheld device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email protocols if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We offer support for both, so you can choose what to do with your email messages – to store them on your personal computer or to leave them on the email server and to access them from multiple devices. The latter option will also enable multiple individuals to access the exact same mailbox – if you’re hosting a corporate website on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-configuration files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will permit you to automatically set up everything in an email software program of your preference – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, so you will not have to fine-tune anything manually. In case you’ve got a smartphone, you can add any mailbox just as easily – simply examine our detailed tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things simpler, our educational articles contain step-by-step screen-caps.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

With our VPS server plans, you’ll be able to set up unlimited mailboxes and to use them with any email software program on any device, as the VPSs come with a pre-installed mail server that supports both email retrieval protocols – IMAP and POP3. This is valid with all VPS plans regardless of which hosting Control Panel you will choose during the order process. With cPanel and Hepsia, you’ll be even able to download auto-config files, which will help you set up your email accounts in Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook without having to enter or change any system information and any settings manually. You can use any other email client software to send and receive email messages too. You can even use your smartphone to access your email correspondence when you are travelling.
