There’re many web-based email providers that you can resort to, but having a mailbox with your very own personal domain name will provide you with more credibility if you are running a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limitations on the maximum size of the attachments that you can receive or send. If you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you will not run into such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your personal computer to access your emails, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even set up an email account on your smartphone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the email server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded to your PC, unless you set up the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can select between the IMAP and the POP3 protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to rely on in accordance with your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may want to download all email messages in case you’ve got a personal account and to keep the messages on the email server – in case you have a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is integrated into our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small configuration file, so as to set up an email account with an email application – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even use your phone to check your emails and we have added a detailed tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
