In case you use an email address with your very own personal domain name instead of a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to use an email app such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to access and administer your emails. The advantage of using such applications is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you set up the app of your liking to access your email account – 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 at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the account on multiple devices and see the messages from any place. You’ll also be able to access old emails in case there’s an issue with your Internet service, which is a big advantage over web-based email services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting

If you buy a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to create mailboxes with any domain name hosted in your account and to set them up with any email application. During the setup process, you can pick IMAP or POP3 as we support the two protocols, so it will depend on you if all emails will be downloaded at your end or if they will stay on the email server. With our company, you can even set up an email account on your smartphone irrespective of its OS and we’ve included comprehensive tutorials on how to carry out that. To save yourself some time, you can also download and run our auto-config files to set up an email account in Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail automatically. With our shared hosting plans, you can pick a desired device and software app to check your email messages.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server plans offer support for the two email retrieval protocols, so you can select either of them when you set up a mailbox with an email software program. You can also download auto-configuration files for any account that you set up from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer the server. Thus, you can add any account to Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird without having to do anything manually. If you are non-stop on the move and you would like to access your email messages using a mobile phone, we have elaborate tutorials with screen-caps showing how to set up an email account on an iPhone or an Android mobile phone. With our semi-dedicated server plans, you can download the messages onto a single device or you can keep them on the email server, so as to be able to examine your email messages from multiple locations and devices.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

If you get a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to create an unlimited number of mailboxes with any domain name hosted on the server and to set them up with any email app. This is valid regardless of the Control Panel that you will select during the signup procedure, as we will set up POP3 and IMAP email servers on the VPS in any case. You’ll be able to choose either option and, to make everything even simpler, you will be able to download auto-configuration files for Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail – if you order the VPS with cPanel or with our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can configure email accounts on any device without any limitations, even on your mobile phone – if you commute a lot and you’d like to keep in contact with friends and associates. With our services, you can select whether to download the emails or to save them on the mail server based on what you’ll use the mailboxes for and on how many people will need to access them.
