If you have an email account with your own personal domain name instead of a third-party one, you will be able to make use of an email software application such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail to check and manage your mailboxes. The benefit of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two different email retrieval protocols that you can select from when you set up the application of your choosing to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all email messages that are received will be downloaded onto your device – mobile or desktop, unless you choose to save 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 at all times, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and view the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to examine old emails in case there’s a problem with your Internet connection, which is a big advantage over web-based services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
If you get a Linux shared hosting from our company, you will be able to create email accounts with any domain hosted under your account and to set them up with any email application. During the setup process, you can pick IMAP or POP3 as we offer support for both email delivery protocols, so it will depend on you if all email messages will be downloaded locally at your end or if they will stay on the email server. With our company, you can even set up a mailbox on your phone irrespective of its Operating System and we have included comprehensive tutorials on how to do that. To save yourself some time, you can also download and run our auto-configuration files to set up an email account in Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird automatically. With our services, you can choose a preferred device and software app to check your emails.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages offer support for the two email delivery protocols, so you can pick either one when you set up an email account with an email program. You can also download auto-configuration files for any account that you set up from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you manage the semi-dedicated server. In this way, you can add any account to Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook without needing to do anything manually. If you’re non-stop on the move and you’d like to check your emails using a mobile phone, we have comprehensive tutorials with screen-caps revealing how to set up an email account on an iPhone or an Android mobile phone. With our semi-dedicated server plans, you can download the email messages onto one single device or you can leave them on the server, so as to be able to check your emails from different devices and locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
Our VPS servers come with a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain name, then create an email account and set it up in an email software app as soon as your server is completely operational. Both IMAP and POP3 connections are supported by default, so you won’t have to configure anything manually. If your server comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files for Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird, which will save you time and energy if you need to set up an account in any of these apps. You will also be able to send out as many emails as you want – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which takes care of the outbound emails. With our Virtual Private Server plans, you will be able to receive/send email messages from any location and any device. You can configure a mailbox even on your phone.
