If emails are a vital part of your electronic communication with business colleagues or family members, you would be better off using an email address with your own domain name and an email provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP protocols, instead of resorting to a web-based email service that entails limitations with regard to the size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to access your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any software program – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so on. With the IMAP email protocol, you’ll be able to check the emails at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the server. Moreover, you will be able to make use of a lot of other handy options – calendars, contact groups, and so on, not to mention that if there’s a brief problem with your Internet connectivity, you can still examine your emails as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create email accounts 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 IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to use according to your preferences and the purpose of the account – you may decide to download all email messages if you’ve got a personal account and to leave the emails on the mail server – in case you have a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is built into our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email client – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can use even your smartphone to access your emails and we have an in-depth tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
