There’re plenty of web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having an email address 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 email 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 supports the IMAP and POP3 protocols, you will not experience such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your personal computer to check your email accounts, 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 on your computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to keep 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 enable you to create mailboxes with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to rely on based on your preferences and the purpose of your account – you may want to download all email messages if you have a personal account and to save the emails on the email server – if you have a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is included in our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small configuration file, so as to set up an email account with an email program – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can use even your phone to view your emails and we’ve got a detailed 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 pick between the POP3 and the IMAP protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with us. We offer support for both, so you can choose what to do with your email messages – to download them onto your home computer or to leave them on the mail server and to check them from different devices. The second option will also allow different people to use the very same email account – if you are hosting a company web site on our servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will enable you to set up everything automatically in an email software program of your choice – Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook, so you will not need to tweak anything manually. If you’ve got a smartphone, you can add any email account just as easily – simply read our detailed tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make everything simpler, the instructional articles come with step-by-step screen-caps.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

Both email delivery protocols, POP3 and IMAP, are offered with our VPS hosting plans regardless of the plan or the Control Panel that you pick. Each VPS comes with its own pre-installed mail server, so you will be able to create as many email accounts as you wish, to send and to receive an unlimited number of emails and to employ your preferred email app and even a mobile phone. If you have picked cPanel or our Hepsia Control Panel upon signup, you will be supplied with access to auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook, which will set up your email accounts automatically in any of these apps on your PC. With our VPS packages, you will exert full command over your email communication no matter where you are or what handheld or desktop device you are using.
