In case you have an email address with your very own personal domain instead of a 3rd-party one, you will be able to make use of an email software application such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail to check and administer your mailboxes. The advantage of using such applications is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email delivery 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 email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you opt to leave a copy on the email server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on multiple devices and see the email messages from any place. You will also be able to examine old emails in case there is a problem with your Internet service, which is a huge advantage over web-based services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Hosting

Each hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP protocols, as we support both, so you can choose which one to make use of depending on your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may choose to download all emails if you have a personal account and to keep the messages on the email server – in case you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager tool, which is part of our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small configuration file, so as to set up an email account with an email software application – Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even use your phone to get your email messages and we have added a comprehensive tutorial on how to carry out this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
