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 use an email app such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to check and manage your emails. The benefit of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email protocols that you can select from when you set up the app of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you opt to keep a copy on the email 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 account on numerous devices and access the messages from any place. You’ll also be able to check old email messages if there is a problem with your Internet connectivity, which is an enormous advantage over web-based services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Hosting

If you buy a hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to create mailboxes with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up with any email app. During the process, you can opt for IMAP or POP3 as we offer support for the two email retrieval protocols, so it will depend on you if all emails will be downloaded locally at your end or if they will remain on the server. With us, you can even set up an email account on your smartphone regardless of its Operating System and we have added exhaustive tutorials on how to do that. To spare yourself time, you can also download and run our auto-config files to set up an account in Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird automatically. With our shared hosting plans, you can pick a preferred device and software application to view your emails.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email retrieval protocols in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server account with us. We offer support for both, so you can choose what to do with your email messages – to download them on your PC or to leave them on the email server and to access them from multiple devices. The latter option will also allow different people to use the same email account – in case you’re hosting a corporate site on our servers, for example. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will allow you to automatically set up everything in an email app of your preference – Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird, so you won’t need to tweak anything manually. If you’ve got a smartphone, you can set up any email account just as easily – just check our comprehensive tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things simpler, the help articles come with step-by-step screen-caps.
