There are plenty of web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having a mailbox with your own personal domain name will provide you with more credibility if you are running a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you will not come across such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your computer to access your mailboxes, 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, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded on your computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to store a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
Each and every shared hosting plan that we offer will permit you to create mailboxes with any domain hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can decide which one to make use of according to your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may want to download all email messages if you have a personal account and to save the messages on the email server – in case you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is integrated into our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up an email account with an email client – Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even use your mobile phone to get your emails and we’ve got an in-depth tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you use a semi-dedicated server plan with us, you’ll be able to view your emails from any device without difficulty. If you’re non-stop on the move, you can see our in-depth tutorials for iPhone and Android smartphones, and if you use a notebook or a desktop PC, you can download our auto-config files for Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird and set up a mailbox with your preferred email app without having to do anything manually. As we offer support for both POP3 and IMAP, you can opt for the email delivery protocol that corresponds to your interests most – you may want to download personal emails locally at your end, whereas in case you use our services for commercial purposes, you should opt for IMAP, so as to permit numerous individuals to access a specific email account from different devices.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
If you get a VPS server through us, you’ll be able to create unlimited mailboxes with any domain hosted on the VPS and to set them up with any email client software. This is valid regardless of the Control Panel that you will select during the signup process, as we’ll install POP3 and IMAP mail servers on the VPS in any case. You’ll be able to select either option and, to make everything even easier, you will be able to download auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook – if you get the server with cPanel or with our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can create email accounts on any device without any restrictions, even on your mobile phone – if you commute a lot and you want to stay in touch with mates and partners. With our Virtual Private Servers, you can choose whether to download the email messages or to save them on the server depending on what you’ll use the mailboxes for and on how many persons will need to have access to them.
