In case you have an email account with your very own personal domain instead of a third-party one, you will be able to use an email application such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook to check and administer your email messages. The benefit of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email delivery protocols that you can select from when you configure the app of your preference to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded onto your device – mobile or desktop, unless you decide to leave a copy on the server. With the second protocol, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and see the messages from any location. You will also be able to see old emails in case there’s a predicament with your Internet service, which is an enormous advantage over a web-based service.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
With a Linux shared web hosting from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email application to view your email messages. We offer support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, so you can select either one when you set up an email account depending on your own preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small configuration file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you create. You can easily set up the latter with your desired app by simply clicking on that file. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two services go hand in hand, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the particular email account is set up.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. We support both, so you can decide what to do with your emails – to store them on your personal computer or to leave them on the server and to check them from different devices. The latter option will also permit different people to check the same mailbox – if you are hosting a company site on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will enable you to set up everything automatically in an email program of your choice – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, so you will not have to tweak any settings manually. If you’ve got a smartphone, you can set up any mailbox just as easily – simply read our detailed tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things simpler, our how-to articles include step-by-step screen-caps.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
Our Linux VPS web hosting feature a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain, then create an email account and set it up in an email program as soon as your VPS is fully operational. We support both IMAP and POP3 connections by default, so you will not need to set up anything manually. If your server comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-config files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook, which will save you time and effort when you need to set up a mailbox in any of these apps. You will also be able to send as many email messages as you like – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which tackles the outbound emails. With us, you’ll be able to receive/send messages from any location and any device. You can configure an email account even on your mobile phone.
