In case you use an email account with your very own personal domain name instead of a 3rd-party one, you will be able to make use of an email software application such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to check and manage your mailboxes. The advantage of using such applications is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email delivery protocols that you can choose from when you set up the app of your choice to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to save a copy on the email server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed at your end, but they will remain on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and view the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to check old email messages in case there’s a predicament with your Internet connection, which is a big advantage over a web-based email service.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
With a Linux shared hosting from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software app to access your email messages. We support the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, so you can opt for either one of them when you create an email account based on your own preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small-sized configuration file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you set up. You can quickly set up the latter with your preferred app by simply running that file on your PC. This option is an alternative to our webmail and the two services are synchronized, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the given mailbox is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages support both email delivery protocols, so you can choose either one of them when you set up a mailbox with an email software application. You can also download auto-config files for any mailbox that you create from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer the semi-dedicated server. In this way, you can add any email account to Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook without having to do anything manually. In case you’re on the move all the time and you would like to view your emails using a mobile phone, we have added comprehensive tutorials with screenshots showing how to configure a mailbox on an iPhone or an Android smartphone. With our semi-dedicated server packages, you can download the emails to a single device or you can keep them on the server, so as to be able to check your messages from different locations and devices.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Hosting
Our VPS hosting feature a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain, then create a mailbox and set it up in an email software application as soon as your Virtual Private Server is completely functional. Both POP3 and IMAP connections are supported by default, so you will not need to install anything manually. If your Virtual Private Server comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files for Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook, which will spare you time and energy if you have to set up a mailbox in any of these apps. You’ll also be able to send as many messages as you like – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which tackles the outgoing messages. With our plans, you’ll be able to send/receive messages from any location and any device. You can configure a mailbox even on your mobile phone.
