If emails are a fundamental component of your electronic correspondence with business colleagues or family members, you would be better off using a mailbox with your own personal domain name and a mail service provider that supports the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, rather than resorting to a web-based email service that entails restrictions with regard to the size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to access your mailboxes on any desktop or mobile device using any software – Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to check the emails locally at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be stored on the mail server. Moreover, you’ll be able to use lots of other useful options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that if there is a brief problem with your Internet connectivity, you can still see your email messages as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
With a shared hosting plan from our company, you will be able to use any device and any email software app to check your emails. We support the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, so you can select either of them when you create a mailbox based on your individual preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small configuration file from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel for each email account that you set up. You can easily set up the latter with your chosen application by simply clicking on that file. This option is an alternative to our webmail and the two services go hand in hand, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the particular mailbox is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans offer support for the two email delivery protocols, so you can opt for either one when you set up an email account with an email app. You can also download auto-configuration files for any email account that you set up from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer your server. Thus, you can add any account to Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird without the need to do anything manually. If you are non-stop on the move and you’d like to access your emails using a smartphone, we’ve added elaborate tutorials with screenshots revealing how to configure an account on an iPhone or an Android smartphone. With our semi-dedicated server plans, you can download the emails on one single device or you can store them on the server, so as to be able to access your messages from multiple devices and locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
Our VPS hosting plans feature a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain, then create a mailbox and set it up in an email app as soon as your Virtual Private Server is fully functional. We support both POP3 and IMAP connections by default, so you will not have to install anything manually. If your server comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird, which will spare you time and energy if you need to set up an email account in any of these applications. You’ll also be able to send out as many email messages as you wish – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which tackles the outbound messages. With our Virtual Private Server plans, you’ll be able to receive/send email messages from any location and any device. You can set up a mailbox even on your mobile phone.
