In case you use a mailbox with your very own personal domain instead of a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to use an email software app such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail to access and manage 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 email protocols that you can select from when you set up 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 onto your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to store a copy on the server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed at your end, but they will stay on the server all the time, so you can set up the account on numerous devices and access the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to see old email messages if there’s an issue with your Internet connectivity, which is a huge advantage over web-based email services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Each and every shared web hosting package that we offer will permit you to create mailboxes with any domain name 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 delivery protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to rely on based on your preference and the purpose of your account – you may decide to download all email messages if you have a personal account and to keep the messages on the mail server – in case you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is included in our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel, enables you to download and run a small auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email program – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even use your phone to view your email messages and we have added an in-depth tutorial on how to perform 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 email delivery protocols if you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. We support both, so you can choose what to do with your email messages – to download them on your PC or to keep them on the server and to check them from different devices. The second option will also allow multiple individuals to use the exact same mailbox – if you are hosting a company web site on our semi-dedicated servers, for example. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will enable you to automatically set up everything in a software app of your choosing – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird, so you won’t have to fine-tune any settings manually. In case you have a mobile phone, you can add any mailbox just as easily – just follow our in-depth tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make things even simpler, the educational articles contain step-by-step screen-caps.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

Our VPS web hosting services come with a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain name, then create an email account and set it up in an email program as soon as your Virtual Private Server is completely operational. We support both POP3 and IMAP connections by default, so you will not have to configure anything manually. If your VPS comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook, which will spare you time and energy if you need to set up an account in any of these apps. You will also be able to send as many messages as you wish – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which handles the outbound messages. With our VPS packages, you’ll be able to send and receive messages from any location and any device. You can create an email account even on your phone.
