In case you have an email with your own domain name and not a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to make use of an email application such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook to check and manage your email messages. The benefit of using such applications 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 application of your choice 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 keep a copy on the server. With the second protocol, the email messages will be displayed at your end, but they will remain on the server at all times, 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 access old email messages in case there is a problem with your Internet access, which is an advantage over web-based email services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Hosting
With a Linux hosting from us, you will be able to use any device and any email app to access your emails. We support the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, so you can opt for either of them when you configure an email account based on your personal preferences. To make things simpler, you can download a small-sized file from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel for each mailbox that you set up. You can automatically set up the latter with your preferred app by simply running that file on your computer. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two email services complement each other, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the particular mailbox is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans support both email retrieval protocols, so you can choose either one when you set up a mailbox with an email app. You can also download auto-config files for any mailbox that you set up from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, via which you administer your semi-dedicated server. Thus, you can add any account to Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail without needing to do anything manually. In case you’re on the move all the time and you would like to check your email messages using a mobile phone, we have added elaborate tutorials with screenshots revealing how to set up an email account on an iPhone or an Android mobile phone. With our semi-dedicated server packages, you can download the messages to a single device or you can leave them on the server, so as to be able to access your emails from multiple devices and locations.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS web hosting plans come with a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain name, then create an email account and set it up in an email software program as soon as your VPS is fully operational. We support both IMAP and POP3 connections by default, so you will not need to set up 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 Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird, which will save you time and effort if you have to set up a mailbox in any of these applications. You will also be able to send out as many email messages as you want – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which takes care of the outgoing messages. With our VPS packages, you will be able to send and receive messages from any location and any device. You can set up a mailbox even on your mobile phone.
