There are lots of web-based email service providers that you can use, but having a mailbox with your own domain will give you more credibility if you are running a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based 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 IMAP and POP3 email protocols, you will not encounter such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your computer to check your email messages, including Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your phone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the mail server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your PC, unless you configure the program in such a way as to store a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Each and every shared website hosting package 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 protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to use depending on your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may choose to download all email messages if you have a personal account and to store the emails on the server – in case you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is included in our custom Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software application – Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even use your mobile phone to view your email messages and we have included an exhaustive tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server plans offer support for the two email delivery protocols, so you can choose either of them when you set up an account with an email application. You can also download auto-configuration files for any mailbox that you set up from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you manage your semi-dedicated server. Thus, you can add any email account to Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook without doing anything manually. In case you are non-stop on the move and you would like to access your email messages using a smartphone, we have comprehensive tutorials with screenshots teaching how to set up a mailbox on an iPhone or an Android smartphone. With our services, you can download the emails on one single device or you can store them on the server, so as to be able to view your messages from multiple devices and locations.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS

With our virtual private server plans, you’ll be able to set up an unlimited number of email addresses and to use them with any email program on any device, as the VPSs include a pre-installed email server that supports both protocols – POP3 and IMAP. This is valid with all VPS packages irrespective of which Control Panel you’ll pick during the VPS order process. With cPanel and Hepsia, you’ll be even able to download auto-configuration files, which will help you create your email accounts in Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook without entering or changing any system information or any settings manually. You can make use of any other email app to receive and send emails as well. You can even use your smartphone to access your e-correspondence when you’re on the move.
