There are lots of web-based email providers that you can resort to, but using an email account with your very own personal domain will provide you with more credibility if you are running a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are limitations on the maximum size of the attachments that you can receive or send. If you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you won’t come across such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your PC to access your mails, including Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even set up an email account on your smartphone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the email server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded to your PC, unless you configure the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

Each shared web hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to rely on in accordance with your preference and the purpose of your email account – you may decide to download all emails if you have a personal account and to store the emails on the email server – in case you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager tool, which is included in our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel, enables you to download and run a small-sized auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software program – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can even use your phone to examine your emails and we have added a comprehensive tutorial on how to carry out this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can choose between the POP3 and the IMAP email retrieval protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. We support both of them, so you can choose what to do with your messages – to save them to your personal computer or to keep them on the server and to access them from different devices. The latter option will also allow multiple people to use the same email account – if you are hosting a company site on our servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will enable you to automatically set up everything in an email software application of your choosing – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook, so you will not need to tweak anything manually. In case you’ve got a mobile phone, you can set up any mailbox just as easily – simply check out our exhaustive tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make everything even easier, the how-to articles contain step-by-step screenshots.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS servers include a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain, then create a mailbox and set it up in an email application as soon as your VPS is completely functional. We support both POP3 and IMAP connections by default, so you will not have to install anything manually. If your VPS comes with our Hepsia Control Panel or with cPanel, you’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook, which will spare you time and effort if you have to set up a mailbox in any of these apps. You will also be able to send as many email messages as you wish – the VPS accounts have their own SMTP server, which handles the outbound emails. With our Virtual Private Server packages, you will be able to receive and send email messages from any location and any device. You can configure a mailbox even on your mobile phone.
