If you use an email with your very own personal domain instead of a third-party one, you will be able to use an email software app such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to access and administer your email messages. The advantage of using such applications is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you set up the application of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you decide to save a copy on the email 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 email account on multiple devices and check the email messages from any location. You will also be able to examine old emails if there is an issue with your Internet connection, which is an advantage over web-based email services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting
You will be able to use any email client and any desktop or mobile device to view your email messages if you purchase any of our Linux website hosting service. Our email servers support both email retrieval protocols (IMAP and POP3), so you can pick the one that matches your requirements – you can download all emails onto your home computer or you can store the emails on the mail server if you are running a company and a number of employees need to access them, for example. You can even download an auto-configuration file for a certain mailbox for any of the three most popular desktop clients – Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird. You will simply need to run the file on your computer and that mailbox will be automatically set up. In case you want to use your smartphone, we have included elaborate tutorials on how to configure an email account on an Android- or an iOS-driven device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with us. We support both of them, so you can decide what to do with your email messages – to download them to your personal computer or to keep them on the server and to access them from different devices. The second option will also enable different people to check the same mailbox – if you are hosting a corporate site on our servers, for instance. You can find auto-configuration files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will permit you to set up everything automatically in a software app of your choice – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, so you will not need to modify any settings manually. If you have a mobile phone, you can add any email account just as easily – simply follow our exhaustive tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make things even simpler, our help articles come with step-by-step screenshots.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
If you order a VPS server from our company, you’ll be able to create an unlimited number of email accounts with any domain name hosted on the server and to set them up with any email app. This is valid irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you’ll select during the signup process, since we’ll set up POP3 and IMAP email servers on the VPS anyhow. You’ll be able to choose either option and, to make things even simpler, you’ll be able to download auto-config files for Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird – if you get the VPS with cPanel or with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can set up email accounts on any device without any limits, even on your phone – if you commute a lot and you wish to be in touch with buddies and partners. With us, you can select whether to download the emails or to leave them on the server based on what you’ll use the email accounts for and on how many individuals will need to access them.
