If email messages are an integral part of your online communication with business associates or relatives, it may be better to use an email address with your very own personal domain and a mail service provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, rather than relying on a web-based email service that entails restrictions as to the size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to check your mailboxes on any desktop or mobile device using any client software – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to see the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, whereas with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be stored on the mail server. What’s more, you’ll be able to use many other handy options – calendars, contact groups, etc., not to mention that if there’s a brief issue with your Internet service, you can still view your emails since they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Hosting
With a Linux hosting service from our company, you will be able to use any device and any email software application to check your email messages. We support the IMAP and POP3 protocols, so you can opt for either one when you set up a mailbox depending on your own 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 create. You can automatically set up the latter with your desired application by simply clicking on that file. This option is an alternative to our webmail and the two email 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 email account is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 email delivery protocols if you have a semi-dedicated server account with us. We offer support for both, so you can choose what to do with your emails – to download them on your home computer or to keep them on the email server and to access them from multiple devices. The second option will also enable multiple people to check the exact same mailbox – if you’re 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 automatically set up everything in an app of your preference – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, so you won’t need to tweak anything manually. If you’ve got a mobile phone, you can add any email account just as easily – simply check out our detailed tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things even simpler, our how-to articles come with step-by-step screen-caps.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
With our VPS server packages, you’ll be able to create an unlimited number of email addresses and to use them with any email software program on any device, as the VPSs include a pre-installed email server that supports both email protocols – IMAP and POP3. This is valid with all Virtual Private Server packages no matter which Control Panel you will pick during the order process. With Hepsia and cPanel, you’ll be even able to download auto-configuration files, which will help you configure your mailboxes in Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail without needing to enter or change any system info or any settings manually. You can use any other email program to receive and send email messages as well. You can even use your smartphone to view your e-correspondence when you’re travelling.
