If you use a mailbox with your own personal domain and not a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to make use of an email app such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail to access and administer your email accounts. The benefit of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you configure the app of your liking to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to keep a copy on the email server. With the second one, the 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 multiple devices and see the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to see old emails in case there is a problem 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 from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software application to view your emails. We support the IMAP and POP3 protocols, so you can select either one when you create an email account in accordance with your individual preference. To make things easier, you can download a small file from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for each mailbox that you set up. You can easily set up the latter with your preferred app by simply clicking on that file. This option is 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 given email account is configured.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Servers
If you get a VPS server through our company, you will be able to create an unlimited number of mailboxes with any domain hosted on the VPS and to set them up with any email software program. This is valid regardless of the hosting Control Panel that you’ll choose during the signup procedure, as we’ll install POP3 and IMAP mail servers on the VPS in any case. You will be able to pick either option and, to make everything even easier, you’ll be able to download auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail – if you order the VPS with cPanel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. You can set up mailboxes on any device without any restrictions, even on your mobile phone – if you commute a lot and you wish to stay in touch with friends and partners. With our Virtual Private Servers, you can select whether to download the email messages or to keep them on the email server depending on what you will use the accounts for and on how many people will need to gain access to them.
