There are a lot of web-based email service providers that you can use, but having an email with your own domain will give you more credibility if you are running a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are restrictions on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, you will not face such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your PC to check your emails, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up a mailbox 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 mail server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded on your PC, unless you configure the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Web Hosting

You’ll be able to use any email client software and any desktop or handheld device to check your emails if you choose any of our Linux web hosting. Our mail servers offer support for both email protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can pick the one that meets your interests – you can download all emails onto your PC or you can keep the emails on the mail server in case you have a firm and a number of people need to get access to them, for example. You can even download an auto-configuration file for a given mailbox for any of the three most popular desktop clients – Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook. You will just need to run the file on your PC and that email account will be set up automatically. In case you prefer to use your smartphone, we have comprehensive tutorials on how to create an email account on an iOS- or an Android-based mobile device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers give you absolute autonomy in terms of where and how you can use any email account that you set up via our Hepsia Control Panel. As we support both IMAP and POP3, you will be able to set up an email account on any device regardless of the OS in use – a desktop computer, a laptop or a smartphone. You can even download our auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail and have a new mailbox automatically set up with your desired software program. You’ll not need to do anything manually. Our exhaustive tutorials with step-by-step screen-caps will teach you how to create an account on an iPhone or an Android phone. With any of these devices, you can choose if the email messages should be downloaded or if they should stay on the mail server. If you opt for the second option, you will be able to view your messages from multiple locations.
