If you have an email account with your own personal domain name and not a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to make use of an email application such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to check and manage your email messages. The benefit of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email protocols that you can select from when you configure the app of your preference to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you decide to save a copy on the server. With the second one, 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 account on numerous devices and check the email messages from any place. You’ll also be able to view old emails if there’s a predicament with your Internet connectivity, which is a big advantage over a web-based service.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
With a shared hosting plan from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software application to view your email messages. We support the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, so you can opt for either one when you set up an email account based on your personal preferences. To make things simpler, you can download a small-sized configuration file from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel for each email account that you create. You can automatically set up the latter with your preferred application by simply running that file on your computer. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two services are harmonized, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the particular email account is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP protocols in case you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with us. We support both, so you can decide what to do with your messages – to download them on your home computer or to keep them on the server and to access them from multiple devices. The second option will also permit different people to use the exact same mailbox – if you are hosting a company site on our semi-dedicated servers, for instance. You can find auto-configuration files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will allow you to automatically set up everything in an application of your preference – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook, so you will not need to tweak anything manually. If you’ve got a mobile phone, you can add any email account just as easily – simply read our detailed tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make everything even easier, our help articles come with step-by-step screenshots.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
Both email retrieval protocols, POP3 and IMAP, are available with our Linux VPS plans regardless of the plan or the Control Panel that you select. Each VPS includes its own pre-configured email server, so you will be able to set up as many email addresses as you wish, to send and to receive an unlimited number of messages and to employ your desired email application and even a smartphone. In case you’ve selected cPanel or our Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the order process, you’ll be provided with access to auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook, which will set up your mailboxes automatically in any of these apps on your computer. With our VPS packages, you will exercise total authority over your email communication regardless of where you are or what desktop or handheld device you’re using.
