There are numerous web-based email service providers that you can use, but using an email with your own personal domain will grant you more credibility if you are running a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based email 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 delivery protocols, you will not face such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your computer to access your emails, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. 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 at your end, but remains on the email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded to your computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Hosting
Each cloud hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can decide which one to rely on based on your preference and the purpose of your account – you may want to download all emails in case you’ve got a personal account and to keep the emails on the server – if you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is built into our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email client – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even use your smartphone to view your emails and we’ve added a detailed tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can choose between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We support both, so you can decide what to do with your messages – to download them on your home computer or to leave them on the email server and to access them from different devices. The second option will also enable multiple people to check the exact same email account – in case you are hosting a company web site on our servers, for example. You can find auto-configuration files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will permit you to automatically set up everything in a client of your choosing – Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird, so you won’t have to modify any settings manually. In case you have a smartphone, you can add any mailbox just as easily – just examine our elaborate tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things simpler, our educational articles come with step-by-step screenshots.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
With our VPS server packages, you’ll be able to create unlimited email accounts and to use them with any email software program on any device, as the VPSs come with a pre-installed mail server that supports both email protocols – POP3 and IMAP. This is valid with all VPS plans no matter which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick during the order procedure. With cPanel and Hepsia, you will be even able to download auto-config files, which will help you set up your mailboxes in Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook without the need to enter or modify any system info and any settings manually. You can use any other email client software to receive and send email messages as well. You can even use your phone to check your email correspondence when you’re on the move.
