There are many web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having an email account with your own personal domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are limits on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, you won’t stumble upon such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your computer to check your mails, including Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. 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 email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded on 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 Cloud Hosting
With a Linux cloud plan from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software app to access your email messages. We offer support for the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, so you can opt for either of them when you create a mailbox depending on your individual preferences. To make things easier, you can download a small file from your Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you set up. You can easily set up the latter with your chosen app by simply running that file on your PC. This option is an alternative to our webmail and the two email services are synchronized, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the given email account is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can select between the POP3 and the IMAP protocols if you have a semi-dedicated server account with us. We offer support for both, so you can decide what to do with your emails – to download them on your PC or to keep them on the mail server and to check them from different devices. The latter option will also allow multiple individuals to access the very same mailbox – in case you are hosting a company web site on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will allow you to automatically set up everything in an email client of your choosing – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, so you won’t have to modify any settings manually. If you have a mobile phone, you can add any mailbox just as easily – simply examine our elaborate tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things easier, our educational articles come with step-by-step screen-caps.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
With our VPS server plans, you’ll be able to set up unlimited email accounts and to use them with any email software program on any device, as the VPSs include a pre-installed email server that supports both email retrieval protocols – POP3 and IMAP. This is valid with all VPS packages irrespective of which hosting Control Panel you’ll pick during the signup process. With cPanel and Hepsia, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files, which will help you create your mailboxes in Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook without the need to enter or change any system information or any settings manually. You can use any other email client software to send and receive email messages too. You can even use your mobile phone to check your e-correspondence when you are on the move.
