There are lots of web-based mail service providers that you can resort to, but using an email address with your own personal domain will give you more credibility if you have a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, you will not encounter such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your personal computer to check your mailboxes, including Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. 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, while with POP3, the message is downloaded to your PC, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Each and every shared web 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 POP3 and the IMAP email protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to make use of based on your preference and the purpose of the account – you may choose to download all email messages in case you’ve got a personal account and to store the emails on the email server – if you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is integrated into our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up an email account with an email software program – Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can use even your phone to get your email messages and we have included a detailed tutorial on how to carry out this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans support the two email retrieval protocols, so you can choose either one of them when you set up a mailbox with an email application. You can also download auto-config files for any account that you create from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. Thus, you can add any account to Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird without having to do anything manually. In case you’re non-stop on the move and you’d like to view your email messages using a mobile phone, we have included detailed tutorials with screen-caps illustrating how to create an email account on an iPhone or an Android mobile phone. With our services, you can download the emails onto one single device or you can leave them on the email server, so as to be able to access your email messages from different devices and locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
With our VPS server plans, you will be able to create an unlimited number of email addresses and to use them with any email client on any device, as the VPSs include a pre-configured mail server that supports both email protocols – POP3 and IMAP. This is valid with all VPS packages no matter which Control Panel you’ll pick during the VPS order process. With Hepsia and cPanel, you’ll even be able to download auto-config files, which will help you set up your mailboxes in Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail without entering or modifying any system info or any settings manually. You can make use of any other email client software to send and receive email messages as well. You can even use your mobile phone to view your email correspondence when you are on the move.
