If email messages are an indivisible part of your electronic correspondence with business partners or relatives, it would be better if you used an email account with your own domain name and an email service provider that supports the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, rather than relying on a web-based service that involves restrictions as to the size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to access your mailboxes on any desktop or mobile device using any software – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so forth. With the IMAP protocol, you’ll be able to view the email messages locally at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, while with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the server. On top of that, you will be able to take advantage of many other handy options – calendars, contact groups, etc., not to mention that in case there is a brief predicament with your Internet service, you can still view your emails since they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
Each shared hosting plan that we offer will permit you to create email accounts with any domain hosted under 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 make use of in accordance with your preferences and the purpose of your account – you may want to download all email messages in case you’ve got a personal account and to keep the messages on the server – if you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is included in our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, enables you to download and run a small-sized configuration file, so as to set up an email account with an email client – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can use even your phone to get your emails and we have included an exhaustive tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
