If you have an email with your own personal domain name and not a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email software app such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to check and manage your email accounts. The benefit of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two different email protocols that you can select from when you set up the app of your choosing to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all email messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – mobile or desktop, unless you decide to leave a copy on the server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server all the time, so you can set up the account on numerous devices and check the messages from any location. You’ll also be able to check old email messages in case there is an issue with your Internet service, which is an immense advantage over web-based email services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to use any email client and any handheld or desktop device to access your emails if you pick one of our Linux shared hosting. Our email servers offer support for both protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can choose the one that corresponds to your needs – you can download all emails on your PC or you can store the messages on the mail server if you are running a firm and a number of people need to get access to them, for example. You can even download an auto-config file for a given email account for any of the three most widely used desktop email clients – Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook. You’ll just have to run the file on your PC and that mailbox will be automatically set up. If you would rather use your phone, we have added detailed tutorials on how to create an email account on an Android- or an iOS-driven device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email retrieval protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with us. We support both of them, so you can choose what to do with your email messages – to download them to your PC or to keep them on the server and to view them from multiple devices. The second option will also permit different individuals to access the exact same email account – if you are hosting a company website on our semi-dedicated servers, for example. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which will enable you to set up everything automatically in a software application of your preference – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, so you will not need to configure any settings manually. In case you’ve got a smartphone, you can add any email account just as easily – just see our detailed tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make things even simpler, the help articles come with step-by-step screenshots.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS

Both email protocols, IMAP and POP3, are available with our VPS irrespective of the package or the Control Panel that you select. Each VPS includes its own pre-installed email server, so you will be able to set up as many email addresses as you want, to receive and to send an unlimited number of emails and to use your chosen email app and even a mobile phone. If you have selected cPanel or our Hepsia hosting Control Panel during the VPS order procedure, you will get access to auto-config files for Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook, which will set up your mailboxes automatically in any of these apps on your PC. With our Virtual Private Server plans, you will exercise total authority over your electronic correspondence no matter where you are or what mobile or desktop device you’re using.
