There are many web-based email providers that you can use, but having a mailbox with your very own personal domain will give you more credibility if you are running a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. In case you use an email service that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 protocols, you will not run into such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your computer to access your email accounts, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even set up an email account 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 email server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded on 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 Shared Hosting
Each and every shared 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 select between the IMAP and the POP3 email delivery protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to use in accordance with your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may want to download all email messages if you’ve got a personal account and to store the messages on the mail server – in case you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small-sized auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email program – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even use your mobile phone to check your emails and we have included an exhaustive tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server plans support both email retrieval protocols, so you can choose either of them when you set up an account with an email client. You can also download auto-config files for any mailbox that you set up from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer the semi-dedicated server. In this way, you can add any email account to Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook without having to do anything manually. In case you are non-stop on the move and you would like to access your email messages using a mobile phone, we’ve got in-depth tutorials with screen-caps revealing how to configure a mailbox on an iPhone or an Android phone. With our semi-dedicated server packages, you can download the emails onto a single device or you can store them on the mail server, so as to be able to view your email messages from different locations and devices.
