In case you use an email account with your own domain name instead of a 3rd-party one, you will be able to make use of an email app such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to check and administer your emails. The advantage of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two different email delivery 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 protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you decide to store a copy on the mail server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will remain on the server all the time, so you can set up the account on numerous devices and access the email messages from any place. You will also be able to access old emails if there is an issue with your Internet connection, which is an enormous advantage over a web-based service.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux shared web hosting plan from us, you will be able to create mailboxes with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up with any email software application.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 email delivery protocols if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We support both, so you can choose what to do with your messages – to save them to your PC or to keep them on the server and to check them from multiple devices. The second option will also allow different people to access the same mailbox – if you’re hosting a corporate site on our semi-dedicated servers, for example. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will enable you to automatically set up everything in an email program of your choosing – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, so you won’t have to tweak any settings manually. In case you’ve got a smartphone, you can set up any mailbox just as easily – just see our elaborate tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things easier, the educational articles come with step-by-step screenshots.
