If email messages are a fundamental part of your e-correspondence with business colleagues or relatives, you might be better off using an email address with your own domain and a mail service provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP protocols, rather than relying on a web-based email service that entails restrictions with regards to the size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to access your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any software app – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to see the email messages locally at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the server. Besides, you will be able to take advantage of many other useful options – contact groups, calendars, etc., not to mention that if there’s a temporary issue with your Internet service, you can still examine your emails as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Website Hosting

Each and every shared website hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create mailboxes with any domain hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can select between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols, as we support both, so you can choose which one to use according to your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may choose to download all emails if you’ve got a personal account and to leave the emails on the mail server – if you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is built into our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software program – Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even use your smartphone to check your emails and we’ve included a comprehensive tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
