There’re lots of web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having an email with your own domain will provide you with more credibility if you are running a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits 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 POP3 and IMAP protocols, you will not stumble upon such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your PC to access your emails, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the email server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded to your PC, unless you configure the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Web Hosting

Each web hosting package that we offer will enable you to create email accounts with any domain hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to use depending on your preference and the purpose of your email account – you may decide to download all email messages if you have a personal account and to save the emails on the email server – if you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is part of our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small-sized configuration file, so as to set up an email account with an email application – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even use your mobile phone to access your email messages and we have added an elaborate tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us. We support both of them, so you can decide what to do with your emails – to save them to your home computer or to keep them on the email server and to access them from different devices. The second option will also enable multiple individuals to use the exact same mailbox – if you’re hosting a company site on our semi-dedicated servers, for example. You can find auto-configuration files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will enable you to automatically set up everything in a software application of your choosing – Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird, so you won’t need to fine-tune any settings manually. In case you’ve got a mobile phone, you can set up any email account just as easily – simply see our exhaustive tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make everything even simpler, our how-to articles come with step-by-step screenshots.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS

Our VPS services come with a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain, then create a mailbox and set it up in an email software program as soon as your VPS is completely operational. Both POP3 and IMAP connections are supported 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’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird, which will spare you time and effort if you need to set up an email account in any of these apps. You will also be able to send out as many emails as you want – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which takes care of the outbound messages. With our Virtual Private Server packages, you will be able to send and receive email messages from any location and any device. You can create a mailbox even on your mobile phone.
