If email messages are an indivisible part of your correspondence with business associates or family members, it might be better to use an email with your own personal domain name and a mail service provider that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 protocols, rather than using a web-based email service that involves restrictions with regards to the size of the attachments. Thus, you will be able to access your mailboxes on any desktop or mobile device using any client software – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so on. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to check the emails locally at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the server. Furthermore, you will be able to take advantage of plenty of other handy options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that in case there is a brief problem with your Internet service, you can still check your email messages since they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting
You’ll be able to use any email client software and any mobile or desktop device to access your emails if you get one of our Linux shared web hosting packages. Our email servers support both email retrieval protocols (IMAP and POP3), so you can choose the one that matches your requirements – you can download all emails on your PC or you can store the emails on the server in case you’ve got a firm and a number of people need to get access to them, for example. You can even download an auto-config file for a certain mailbox for any of the three most widely used desktop email clients – Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail. You will only have to run the file on your PC and that email account will be automatically set up. If you want to use your smartphone, we’ve got elaborate tutorials on how to create a mailbox on an iOS- or an Android-driven mobile device.
