There’re lots of web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having an email with your very own personal domain will give you more credibility if you are running a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based 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 email delivery protocols, you won’t have such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your PC to check your email accounts, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even set up an email account on your mobile device. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the email server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your PC, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

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 hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols, as we support both, so you can choose which one to make use of in accordance with your preferences and the purpose of your email account – you may decide to download all emails in case you have a personal account and to save the messages on the mail server – if you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is part of our custom 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 application – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can use even your phone to access your email messages and we’ve included a comprehensive tutorial on how to carry out this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
