There’re many web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having a mailbox with your own domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you won’t bump into such problems and you will be able to use any program on your computer to check your mailboxes, including Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile device. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the mail server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded to your personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to store a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Web Hosting
Each and every cloud web hosting package that we offer will permit you to create mailboxes with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to use according to your preference and the purpose of the account – you may decide to download all emails if you have a personal account and to save the messages on the email server – in case you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is built into our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel, enables you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up an email account with an email software application – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can use even your mobile phone to check your email messages and we’ve got an in-depth tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
