There are a lot of web-based mail service providers that you can use, but using an email with your very own personal domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, you will not experience such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your personal computer to check your mails, including Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can even set up a mailbox on your smartphone. The difference between the two email 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 on your personal computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to store a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Each and every shared website hosting package that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email retrieval protocols, as we support both, so you can choose which one to rely on based on your preference and the purpose of the account – you may decide to download all email messages in case you have a personal account and to leave the messages on the server – if you have a business account, for instance. The Email Manager tool, which is part of our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small-sized file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email app – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even use your phone to get your emails and we’ve added a comprehensive tutorial on how to carry out this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated plans give you absolute freedom in regard to how and where you can use any mailbox that you set up via our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Since we support both POP3 and IMAP, you’ll be able to set up an email account on any mobile or desktop device regardless of the Operating System in use – a desktop PC, a laptop or a smartphone. You can download even our auto-configuration files for Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird and have a new mailbox set up automatically with your preferred email software application. You’ll not need to do anything manually. Our comprehensive tutorials with step-by-step screenshots will show you how to configure a mailbox on an iPhone or an Android smartphone. With any of these devices, you can decide whether the email messages should be downloaded or if they should remain on the server. If you select the second option, you will be able to access your email messages from multiple locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
With our VPS server plans, you will be able to create unlimited mailboxes and to use them with any email software program on any device, as the VPSs come with a pre-configured email server that supports both email delivery protocols – IMAP and POP3. This is valid with all VPS packages irrespective of which Control Panel you’ll select during the order procedure. With cPanel and Hepsia, you’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files, which will help you configure your mailboxes in Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird without needing to enter or change any system information or any settings manually. You can use any other email program to receive and send email messages as well. You can even use your smartphone to access your electronic correspondence when you are on the move.
