In case you use an email account with your very own personal domain name instead of a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email software application such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to access and manage your email messages. The benefit of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email protocols that you can choose from when you set up the app of your liking to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – desktop or mobile, unless you opt to keep a copy on the mail server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the account on numerous devices and access the messages from any place. You will also be able to access old emails in case there is a predicament with your Internet service, which is a huge advantage over web-based services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Each and every cloud hosting package that we offer will enable you to create mailboxes with any domain hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can select between the IMAP and the POP3 email delivery protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to use in accordance with your preferences and the purpose of the account – you may want to download all emails in case you have a personal account and to store the messages on the server – in case you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is included in our custom-created Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software app – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can even use your mobile phone to get your emails and we have a comprehensive tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We support both, so you can choose what to do with your emails – to download them on your personal computer or to leave them on the mail server and to check them from multiple devices. The latter option will also allow different individuals to access the exact same mailbox – in case you are hosting a corporate site on our servers, for instance. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will permit you to set up everything automatically in an email application of your choice – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, so you won’t have to tweak any settings manually. In case you’ve got a smartphone, you can set up any mailbox just as easily – just check our in-depth tutorials for Android and iPhone. To make things easier, our help articles come with step-by-step screen-caps.
