In case you have a mailbox with your own domain name instead of a third-party one, you’ll be able to use an email software application such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail to access and administer your emails. The benefit of using such applications is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email protocols that you can select from when you configure the app of your preference to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – desktop or mobile, unless you decide to leave a copy on the mail server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will remain on the server at all times, so you can set up the email account on multiple devices and access the messages from any place. You will also be able to check old email messages in case there is an issue with your Internet service, which is a huge advantage over web-based email services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Web Hosting
You’ll be able to use any email client and any desktop or mobile device to view your email messages if you opt for one of our Linux web hosting packages. Our mail servers offer support for both protocols (IMAP and POP3), so you can choose the one that corresponds to your needs – you can download all emails on your personal computer or you can store the messages on the email server if you are running a firm and a number of people need access to them, for instance. You can even download an auto-configuration file for a given email account for any of the three most widely used desktop clients – Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird. You will simply need to run the file on your PC and that email account will be set up automatically. If you’d like to use your phone, we’ve got exhaustive tutorials on how to create a mailbox on an iOS- or an Android-based handheld device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. We offer support for both, so you can choose what to do with your emails – to download them onto your home computer or to leave them on the mail server and to view them from different devices. The second option will also permit multiple people to access the same email account – if you’re hosting a corporate web site on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will permit you to set up everything automatically in a software app of your choice – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, so you will not have to configure any settings manually. In case you’ve got a mobile phone, you can set up any email account just as easily – simply read our comprehensive tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make everything easier, the instructional articles contain step-by-step screenshots.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Web Hosting
If you order a virtual private server from us, you will be able to create unlimited mailboxes with any domain name hosted on the server and to set them up with any email app. This is valid regardless of the Control Panel that you’ll choose upon signup, since we will set up POP3 and IMAP mail servers on the VPS in all cases. You’ll be able to select either option and, to make everything even easier, you’ll be able to download auto-config files for Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird – if you get the VPS with cPanel or with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. You can configure mailboxes on any device without any limitations, even on your smartphone – if you travel a lot and you want to keep in contact with buddies and associates. With our Virtual Private Servers, you can decide whether to download the emails or to keep them on the email server depending on what you’ll use the accounts for and on how many people will need to get access to them.
