There are plenty of web-based email providers that you can use, but using an email address with your own personal domain name will grant you more credibility if you are running a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, you will not run into such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your computer to check your mails, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone. 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, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded to 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 Web Hosting

Each and every shared web hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create mailboxes with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to use depending on your preferences and the purpose of your account – you may choose to download all email messages in case you have a personal account and to leave the messages on the server – if you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is built into our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small-sized file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email app – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even use your smartphone to examine your email messages and we’ve got an exhaustive tutorial on how to carry out 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 email delivery protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We support both of them, so you can choose what to do with your messages – to download them onto 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 access the exact same mailbox – if you’re hosting a company web site on our semi-dedicated servers, for example. You can find auto-configuration files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will allow you to set up everything automatically in a program of your choice – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, so you will not have to modify any settings manually. If you’ve got a smartphone, you can add any mailbox just as easily – simply follow our detailed tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things even easier, our educational articles include step-by-step screen-caps.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

With our VPS server packages, you’ll be able to create an unlimited number of mailboxes and to use them with any email software application on any device, as the VPSs include a pre-installed mail server that supports both email delivery protocols – IMAP and POP3. This is valid with all VPS plans regardless of which Control Panel you will select during the order process. With Hepsia and cPanel, you’ll be even able to download auto-configuration files, which will help you configure your mailboxes in Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook without entering or modifying any system information or any settings manually. You can use any other email client to receive and send emails as well. You can even use your smartphone to view your email correspondence when you’re on the move.
