There’re numerous web-based mail service providers that you can resort to, but using a mailbox with your very own personal domain name will give you more credibility if you are running a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are limitations 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 IMAP and POP3 email protocols, you will not face such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your PC to access your email accounts, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your smartphone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded on your personal computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Web Hosting

Each and every web hosting package that we offer will enable you to create mailboxes with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email retrieval protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to make use of in accordance with your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may decide to download all emails if you have a personal account and to leave the messages on the server – if you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager tool, which is built into our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software program – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even use your mobile phone to view your email messages and we’ve got an elaborate 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 select between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We offer support for both, so you can decide what to do with your email messages – to save them to your PC or to keep them on the email server and to check them from different devices. The second option will also permit multiple people to check the very same mailbox – if you’re hosting a corporate 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 allow you to automatically set up everything in a software app of your preference – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, so you will not need to tweak anything manually. If you have a mobile phone, you can set up any email account just as easily – just follow our elaborate tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make everything easier, our how-to articles come with step-by-step screen-caps.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

If you get a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to create an unlimited number of mailboxes with any domain name hosted on the server and to set them up with any email client software. This is valid irrespective of the Control Panel that you’ll select during the signup process, since we will install IMAP and POP3 mail servers on the VPS anyhow. You’ll be able to select either option and, to make everything even easier, you will be able to download auto-configuration files for Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird – if you get the VPS with cPanel or with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. You can create mailboxes on any device without any limits, even on your smartphone – if you travel a lot and you would like to keep in contact with pals and colleagues. With our Virtual Private Servers, you can select whether to download the emails or to keep them on the email server depending on what you’ll use the accounts for and on how many individuals will need to gain access to them.
