In case you use an email with your own domain name and not a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to make use of an email software app such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to access and manage your email messages. The advantage of using such applications 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 set up the app of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – desktop or mobile, unless you opt to leave a copy on the server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the account on numerous devices and check the messages from any place. You will also be able to view old email messages if there is a problem with your Internet connectivity, which is a huge advantage over a web-based service.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Hosting
Each hosting package that we offer will enable you to create mailboxes with any domain name hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can pick between the POP3 and the IMAP email retrieval protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can decide which one to rely on according to your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may want to download all email messages in case you have a personal account and to leave the emails on the mail server – if you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is part of our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small-sized configuration file, so as to set up an email account with an email software app – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can use even your smartphone to get your email messages and we’ve added an exhaustive tutorial on how to carry out this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
