There are lots of web-based mail service providers that you can use, but using a mailbox with your own domain name will give you more credibility if you are running a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can receive or send. If you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, you won’t experience such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your computer to access your email messages, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded to your computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting

Each website hosting plan 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 process, you can select between the POP3 and the IMAP protocols, as we support both, so you can choose which one to rely on based on your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may choose to download all email messages in case you have a personal account and to leave the emails on the email server – if you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is integrated into our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small-sized auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email program – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even use your phone to get your email messages and we have added a comprehensive tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols if you have a semi-dedicated server account with us. We support both of them, so you can decide what to do with your messages – to download them to your personal computer or to keep them on the server and to view them from different devices. The second option will also allow different people to access the very same mailbox – if you’re hosting a corporate site on our servers, for example. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will allow you to set up everything automatically in an email app of your choice – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird, so you will not have to modify any settings manually. If you’ve got a mobile phone, you can set up any mailbox just as easily – simply see our comprehensive tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make everything easier, our help articles come with step-by-step screenshots.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

Our VPS plans feature a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain name, then create a mailbox and set it up in an email app as soon as your VPS is completely operational. Both IMAP and POP3 connections are supported by default, so you won’t have to install anything manually. If your server comes with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel or with cPanel, you’ll even be able to download auto-configuration files for Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail, which will spare you time and energy if you have to set up a mailbox in any of these applications. You’ll also be able to send out as many email messages as you want – the VPS accounts have their own SMTP server, which takes care of the outgoing emails. With our VPS plans, you’ll be able to receive and send messages from any location and any device. You can create a mailbox even on your phone.
