There are numerous web-based email providers that you can use, but having an email address with your own domain will give you more credibility if you have a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. In case you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, you will not have such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your personal computer to access your email accounts, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone. 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 personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting

Each website hosting package that we offer will enable 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 IMAP and the POP3 protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can decide which one to rely on in accordance with your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may decide to download all email messages if you’ve got a personal account and to store the emails on the email server – if you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is part of our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel, enables you to download and run a small-sized auto-config file, so as to set up an email account with an email software application – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can use even your phone to get your emails and we’ve added an exhaustive tutorial on how to carry out this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
