If you have a mailbox with your own domain name and not a third-party one, you will be able to use an email software application such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to access and administer your email messages. The advantage of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you configure the app of your choosing to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you choose to leave a copy on the mail server. With the second protocol, the messages will be displayed at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and see the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to examine old emails in case there is a predicament with your Internet connectivity, which is an advantage over a web-based email service.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting

Each website hosting package that we offer will permit you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to make use of according to your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may choose to download all emails in case you have a personal account and to save the emails on the server – in case you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is part of our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small-sized auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email app – Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can use even your smartphone to get your email messages and we have added an exhaustive tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
