There’re plenty of web-based mail service providers that you can resort to, but having a mailbox with your own domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are limitations on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, you won’t run into such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your computer to check your emails, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even set up an email account on your phone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the email server, while 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 and every shared website hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create email accounts with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to rely on in accordance with your preferences and the purpose of your email account – you may want to download all email messages if you have a personal account and to save the emails on the mail server – if you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager tool, which is included in our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email app – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can use even your smartphone to get your emails and we’ve added an exhaustive tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
