If you use an email account with your own domain and not a third-party one, you will be able to use an email software app such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to access and administer your email messages. The advantage of using such applications is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email delivery protocols that you can select from when you set up the application of your choosing to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you decide to leave a copy on the mail server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed at your end, but they will stay on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on multiple devices and check the email messages from any place. You will also be able to examine old emails if there is a predicament with your Internet access, which is an advantage over web-based services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Each shared website hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create mailboxes with any domain name 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 protocols, as we support both, so you can choose which one to use based on your preference and the purpose of the account – you may choose to download all email messages in case you’ve got a personal account and to leave the messages on the email server – in case you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small-sized auto-config file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email client – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can use even your mobile phone to check your email messages and we’ve included a detailed tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can choose between the IMAP and the POP3 email delivery protocols if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We support both, so you can decide what to do with your email messages – to save them to your PC or to leave them on the server and to view them from multiple devices. The latter option will also enable different people to check the exact same mailbox – if you’re hosting a corporate website on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-configuration files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will allow you to automatically set up everything in an email client of your choice – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, so you will not have to tweak anything manually. If you have a mobile phone, you can set up any email account just as easily – simply read our elaborate tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make things easier, our educational articles include step-by-step screenshots.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
Our Linux VPS web hosting come with a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain, then create an email account and set it up in an email program as soon as your server is completely functional. Both IMAP and POP3 connections are supported by default, so you will not have to set up anything manually. If your VPS comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Outlook and Apple Mail, which will save you time and effort when you have to set up a mailbox in any of these apps. You’ll also be able to send as many email messages as you want – the VPS accounts have their own SMTP server, which takes care of the outgoing messages. With our Virtual Private Server packages, you will be able to receive and send emails from any location and any device. You can configure an email account even on your mobile phone.
