There are numerous web-based mail service providers that you can use, but having an email with your own personal domain name will provide you with more credibility if you are running a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits 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 will not come across such problems and you will be able to use any program on your personal computer to access your emails, including Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your phone. 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 to your PC, unless you set up the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
You will be able to use any email client and any desktop or handheld device to view your emails if you pick one of our shared hosting. Our email servers support both email delivery protocols (IMAP and POP3), so you can choose the one that matches your demands – you can download all emails onto your PC or you can keep the messages on the mail server if you’ve got a company and different employees need access to them, for example. You can even download a configuration file for a specific email account for any of the three most widely used desktop email clients – Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird. You will only need to run the file on your computer and that email account will be automatically set up. In case you prefer to use your smartphone, we’ve added in-depth tutorials on how to create a mailbox on an iOS- or an Android-based handheld device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server package with us, you will be able to access your email messages from any device effortlessly. If you’re non-stop on the road, you can check our in-depth tutorials for iPhone and Android mobile phones, and if you use a portable or a desktop PC, you can download our auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird and set up a mailbox with your chosen email software program without needing to do anything manually. Since we support both POP3 and IMAP, you can select the protocol that fits your needs most – you may decide to download personal emails locally at your end, while in case you use our services for commercial purposes, you should go with IMAP, so as to permit a lot of people to access a specific email account from separate devices.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
If you order a VPS server through us, you will be able to create unlimited mailboxes with any domain name hosted on the VPS and to set them up with any email software application. This is valid irrespective of the Control Panel that you’ll select upon signup, as we will install POP3 and IMAP email servers on the VPS in any case. You’ll be able to pick either option and, to make things even easier, you will be able to download auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail – if you get the server with cPanel or with our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. You can set up email accounts on any device without any restrictions, even on your phone – if you commute a lot and you would like to be in touch with pals and colleagues. With our services, you can select whether to download the emails or to save them on the mail server based on what you will use the email accounts for and on how many persons will need to be able to access them.
