There’re many web-based email providers that you can use, but using a mailbox with your own personal domain will provide you with more credibility if you are running a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are limits on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. In case you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 protocols, you won’t encounter such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your computer to check your email accounts, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up a mailbox on your phone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded on your PC, 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 Hosting
With a Linux shared hosting service from us, you will be able to use any device and any email software application to access your email messages. We support the POP3 and IMAP protocols, so you can select either one when you set up an email account according to your personal preferences. To make things simpler, you can download a small configuration file from your Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you create. You can effortlessly set up the latter with your chosen application by simply running that file on your computer. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two services are harmonized, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the given mailbox is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated service give you full freedom in regard to how and where you can use any mailbox that you set up through our Hepsia Control Panel. Since we offer support for both IMAP and POP3, you will be able to create an email account on any desktop or handheld device regardless of the OS in use – a desktop computer, a notebook or a mobile phone. You can even download our auto-config files for Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail and have a brand new email account automatically set up with your preferred client. You’ll not have to do anything manually. Our elaborate tutorials with step-by-step screenshots will reveal to you how to create an email account on an iPhone or an Android smartphone. With all these devices, you can choose if the emails should be downloaded or if they should stay on the server. If you choose the second option, you’ll be able to examine your emails from different locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS web hosting service feature a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain name, then create a mailbox and set it up in an email software app as soon as your Virtual Private Server is completely operational. Both IMAP and POP3 connections are supported by default, so you will not need to configure anything manually. If your server comes with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel or with cPanel, you’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files for Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail, which will save you time and effort if you have to set up a mailbox in any of these applications. You will also be able to send out as many email messages as you want – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which tackles the outbound emails. With our packages, you’ll be able to send/receive email messages from any location and any device. You can configure an email account even on your smartphone.
