There’re lots of web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but using a mailbox with your own domain name will grant you more credibility if you have a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are restrictions on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP protocols, you will not bump into such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your personal computer to access your email messages, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your phone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the mail server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Hosting
Each and every hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to make use of based on your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may want to download all emails if you’ve got a personal account and to save the emails on the email server – if you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is integrated into our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small-sized auto-config file, so as to set up an email account with an email application – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can use even your smartphone to examine your emails and we’ve got an elaborate tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans support both email delivery protocols, so you can select either of them when you set up a mailbox with an email software application. You can also download auto-config files for any mailbox that you create from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. In this way, you can add any email account to Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook without needing to do anything manually. If you are non-stop on the move and you would like to access your emails using a mobile phone, we’ve included detailed tutorials with screen-caps demonstrating how to set up an account on an iPhone or an Android phone. With our semi-dedicated server packages, you can download the messages to one single device or you can keep them on the email server, so as to be able to access your email messages from multiple devices and locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
With our VPS server plans, you’ll be able to set up an unlimited number of email addresses and to use them with any email client software on any device, as the VPSs come with a pre-installed mail server that offers support for both protocols – POP3 and IMAP. This is valid with all VPS packages no matter which hosting Control Panel you will choose during the VPS order process. With cPanel and Hepsia, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files, which will help you configure your mailboxes in Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird without having to enter or modify any system information or any settings manually. You can make use of any other email application to receive and send email messages as well. You can even use your phone to access your electronic correspondence when you are on the road.
