If emails are a vital part of your communication with business partners or relatives, it might be better to use a mailbox with your own personal domain name and an email provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, instead of relying on a web-based service that involves limitations with regards to the size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to check your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any app – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so on. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to see the emails at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, whereas with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the mail server. Moreover, you will be able to use many other useful options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that in case there’s a temporary problem with your Internet service, you can still check your email messages as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to use any email client and any handheld or desktop device to check your emails if you pick any of our shared hosting. Our mail servers offer support for both email delivery protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can pick the one that satisfies your demands – you can download all email messages onto your home computer or you can store the messages on the server if you are running a company and a number of employees need to gain access to them, for instance. You can even download an auto-config file for a certain mailbox for any of the three most popular desktop clients – Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail. You will only have to run the file on your computer and that email account will be automatically set up. In case you’d rather use your phone, we’ve added in-depth tutorials on how to create a mailbox on an iOS- or an Android-based mobile device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols if you’ve got a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We offer support for both of them, so you can decide what to do with your emails – to download them to your personal computer or to leave them on the server and to view them from different devices. The latter option will also allow different people to check the same mailbox – in case you are hosting a company site on our semi-dedicated servers, for example. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will permit you to set up everything automatically in a client of your choosing – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, so you won’t have to modify anything manually. If you have a smartphone, you can set up any mailbox just as easily – just check our exhaustive tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make everything even easier, the help articles contain step-by-step screenshots.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS plans come with a pre-installed mail server, so you can host a domain name, then create an email account and set it up in an email software app as soon as your server is fully functional. Both POP3 and IMAP connections are supported by default, so you will not need to install anything manually. If your VPS comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-config files for Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail, which will spare you time and energy if you have to set up an email account in any of these apps. You’ll also be able to send out as many email messages as you wish – the VPS accounts have their own SMTP server, which tackles the outgoing messages. With our Virtual Private Server packages, you will be able to receive/send emails from any location and any device. You can configure a mailbox even on your smartphone.
