In case you use an email with your very own personal domain name instead of a third-party one, you’ll be able to use an email software app such as Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook to check and administer your email messages. The advantage of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you set up the application of your choice to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to save a copy on the email server. With the second protocol, the email 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 view the messages from any location. You’ll also be able to view old emails if there’s a problem with your Internet connection, which is an enormous advantage over a web-based service.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Each cloud website hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can decide which one to make use of based on your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may choose to download all email messages in case you have a personal account and to leave the emails on the server – if you have a business account, for instance. The Email Manager tool, which is part of our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small file, so as to set up an email account with an email client – Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can use even your smartphone to access your emails and we have added an in-depth tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
