In case you have an email address with your own domain and not a third-party one, you’ll be able to use an email application such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to check and administer 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 different email delivery protocols that you can select from when you configure the application of your preference to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you opt to leave a copy on the server. With the second protocol, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on multiple devices and check the email messages from any place. You’ll also be able to examine old emails if there is a predicament with your Internet connectivity, which is an advantage over web-based services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
Each shared website hosting plan that we offer will permit you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted under your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to use depending on your preferences 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 store the messages on the mail server – in case you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is integrated into our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email client – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can use even your phone to access your email messages and we’ve included a detailed tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
