There are many web-based mail service providers that you can use, but having an email account with your very own personal domain will provide you with more credibility if you are running a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, you will not encounter such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your computer to check your email messages, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your smartphone. The difference between the two email 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 to your computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
Each and every shared web hosting package that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to make use of based on your preference and the purpose of your email account – you may decide to download all emails in case you’ve got a personal account and to leave the messages on the mail server – in case you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is included in our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small-sized auto-config file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software app – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can use even your mobile phone to access your email messages and we’ve included an elaborate tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

You’ll not have to do anything manually. Our elaborate tutorials with step-by-step screen-caps will reveal to you how to configure an email account on an iPhone or an Android mobile phone.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Hosting
Our Linux VPS hosting include a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain, then create an email account and set it up in an email software program as soon as your server is assembled. We support both IMAP and POP3 connections by default, so you won’t have to configure anything manually. If your VPS comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird, which will spare you time and energy if you have to set up an account in any of these apps. You will also be able to send out as many messages as you wish – the VPS accounts have their own SMTP server, which takes care of the outgoing emails. With our plans, you’ll be able to send/receive email messages from any location and any device. You can configure a mailbox even on your smartphone.
