If you have an email account with your own domain instead of a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to make use of an email software app such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail to check and administer your email messages. The advantage of using such applications is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two different email protocols that you can choose from when you configure the app of your liking to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to store a copy on the server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and access the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to view old emails in case there is a problem with your Internet connection, which is a huge advantage over a web-based email service.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting

Each and every website hosting plan that we offer will permit you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols, as we support both, so you can choose which one to rely on depending on your preference and the purpose of your email account – you may decide to download all email messages if you have a personal account and to save the messages on the server – in case you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is built into our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software app – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even use your mobile phone to examine your emails and we’ve got a detailed tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
