There are a lot of web-based email service providers that you can use, but using an email account with your very own personal domain will give you more credibility if you have a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are limitations on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, you won’t run into such problems and you will be able to use any program on your computer to access your mailboxes, including Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your mobile phone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Web Hosting
With a web hosting from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email application to access your email messages. We offer support for the POP3 and IMAP protocols, so you can choose either one of them when you configure a mailbox based on your individual preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you set up. You can quickly set up the latter with your chosen app by simply running that file on your PC. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two services are harmonized, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the particular mailbox is configured.
