There’re a lot of web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having an email with your own personal domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are restrictions on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. If you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you won’t come across such problems and you will be able to use any program on your personal computer to access your emails, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your mobile device. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded on your PC, unless you configure the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
With a shared hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email app to access your email messages. We support the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, so you can opt for either one when you create an email account based on your personal preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small-sized file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you set up. You can quickly set up the latter with your chosen application by simply clicking on that file. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two services are harmonized, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the particular mailbox is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you use a semi-dedicated server package with us, you will be able to access your email messages from any device effortlessly. If you are non-stop on the road, you can check our comprehensive tutorials for iPhone and Android phones, and in case you use a desktop PC or a laptop, you can download our auto-config files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook and set up a mailbox with your chosen software app without the need to do anything manually. As we support both IMAP and POP3, you can go with the email delivery protocol that satisfies your interests best – you may want to download personal emails at your end, whereas in case you use our services for commercial purposes, you should choose IMAP, so as to enable lots of people to access a specific mailbox from different locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
If you order a VPS server from us, you will be able to create an unlimited number of email accounts with any domain name hosted on the VPS and to set them up with any email software app. This is valid irrespective of the Control Panel that you’ll select during the signup procedure, as we’ll set up POP3 and IMAP email servers on the VPS in any event. You’ll be able to pick either option and, to make things even easier, you will be able to download auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird – if you order the server with cPanel or with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. You can configure email accounts on any device without any limits, even on your phone – if you travel a lot and you want to be in touch with pals and partners. With our Virtual Private Servers, you can select whether to download the email messages or to leave them on the mail server based on what you will use the mailboxes for and on how many persons will need to get access to them.
