There’re lots of web-based email providers that you can resort to, but using an email account with your own domain will grant you more credibility if you are running a business, 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. In case you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP protocols, you will not come across such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your computer to check your email messages, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. 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 personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting

With a Linux shared hosting service from us, you will be able to use any device and any email app to view your emails. We offer support for the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, so you can select either of them when you create an email account in accordance with your individual preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small file from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for each mailbox that you create. You can automatically set up the latter with your chosen app by simply running that file on your PC. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two services complement each other, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the particular mailbox is set up.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server packages support the two email retrieval protocols, so you can pick either one when you set up a mailbox with an email client. You can also download auto-config files for any email account that you create from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. In this way, you can add any email account to Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook without having to do anything manually. If you are non-stop on the move and you would like to view your emails using a mobile phone, we’ve added exhaustive tutorials with screenshots demonstrating how to create an email account on an iPhone or an Android phone. With our semi-dedicated server plans, you can download the messages on one single device or you can leave them on the email server, so as to be able to check your email messages from multiple devices and locations.
