If you have an email account with your own domain name and not a third-party one, you will be able to make use of an email software app such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail to access and administer your mailboxes. The advantage of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you set up the app of your choosing to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you decide to leave a copy on the mail server. With the second protocol, the email messages will be displayed at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and see the messages from any place. You’ll also be able to check old emails if there is a problem with your Internet connection, which is a big advantage over a web-based service.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
You will be able to use any email client software and any device to check your email messages if you purchase one of our Linux shared web hosting plans. Our email servers offer support for both email protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can pick the one that suits your demands – you can download all emails to your PC or you can keep the messages on the server if you have a firm and a number of people need to gain access to them, for example. You can even download a configuration file for a specific mailbox for any of the three most popular desktop clients – Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook. You’ll simply have to run the file on your PC and that email account will be set up automatically. In case you would like to use your smartphone, we’ve included in-depth tutorials on how to create a mailbox on an Android- or an iOS-powered handheld device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server package with our company, you’ll be able to examine your emails from any device without any effort. In case you’re travelling all the time, you can examine our exhaustive tutorials for iPhone and Android phones, and in case you use a laptop or a desktop PC, you can download our auto-config files for Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook and set up a mailbox with your desired software app without needing to do anything manually. As we offer support for both IMAP and POP3, you can go with the email protocol that fulfills your needs most – you may decide to download personal email messages locally at your end, whereas if you use our services for commercial purposes, you should select IMAP, so as to allow lots of people to access a given mailbox from separate computers.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS plans include a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain, then create an email account and set it up in an email software application as soon as your Virtual Private Server is completely operational. Both IMAP and POP3 connections are supported by default, so you won’t need to configure anything manually. If your VPS comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia Control Panel, you’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook, which will save you time and energy when you need to set up an account in any of these apps. You’ll also be able to send out as many email messages as you wish – the VPS accounts have their own SMTP server, which tackles the outbound emails. With our plans, you’ll be able to receive/send email messages from any location and any device. You can configure an email account even on your smartphone.
