In case you use an email account with your very own personal domain name instead of a 3rd-party one, you will be able to make use of an email app such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail 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 delivery protocols that you can select from when you configure 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 onto your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to store a copy on the mail server. With the second protocol, the email messages will be displayed at your end, but they will remain on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and access the email messages from any place. You will also be able to examine old emails if there’s an issue with your Internet access, which is an immense advantage over web-based services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting
Each website hosting package that we offer will allow you to create mailboxes with any domain name hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to rely on based on your preference and the purpose of the account – you may choose to download all emails if you’ve got a personal account and to keep the messages on the server – if you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is integrated into our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small file, so as to set up an email account with an email software application – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can use even your mobile phone to view your emails 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 Hosting
You can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company. We offer support for both, so you can choose what to do with your messages – to download them on your home computer or to keep them on the server and to view them from multiple devices. The latter option will also enable multiple people to access the same mailbox – if you’re hosting a company site on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will allow you to automatically set up everything in an application of your choice – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook, so you won’t have to modify anything manually. If you have a smartphone, you can add any mailbox just as easily – simply examine our detailed tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make things easier, our help articles come with step-by-step screen-caps.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Hosting
Our VPS hosting packages feature a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain, then create an email account and set it up in an email app as soon as your server is completely operational. Both POP3 and IMAP connections are supported by default, so you won’t need to configure anything manually. If your VPS comes with our Hepsia Control Panel or with cPanel, you’ll even be able to download auto-config files for Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail, which will spare you time and energy when you need to set up a mailbox in any of these applications. You will also be able to send out as many messages as you wish – the VPS accounts have their own SMTP server, which handles the outbound emails. With our VPS plans, you’ll be able to receive/send email messages from any location and any device. You can create an email account even on your phone.
