There’re plenty of web-based email providers that you can use, but having an email account with your own personal domain name will give you more credibility if you are running a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. If you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, you won’t stumble upon such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your PC to check your mailboxes, including Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the email server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

If you order a Linux shared web hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to create mailboxes with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up with any email software application. During the setup process, you can opt for IMAP or POP3 as we offer support for both email protocols, so it will be up to you if all emails will be downloaded locally at your end or if they will stay on the server. With us, you can even set up an email account on your smartphone irrespective of its OS and we have exhaustive tutorials on how to carry out that. To spare yourself some time, you can also download and run our auto-config files to set up an account in Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird automatically.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with our company. We offer support for both, so you can choose what to do with your emails – to download them to your home computer or to leave them on the server and to check them from different devices. The second option will also enable multiple individuals to use the very same mailbox – if you are hosting a company site on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will enable you to set up everything automatically in a software app of your choosing – Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook, so you won’t have to fine-tune anything manually. In case you’ve got a smartphone, you can set up any mailbox just as easily – simply see our exhaustive tutorials for Android and iPhone.
