If you have an email account with your own domain name instead of a third-party one, you’ll be able to use an email software application such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail to check and administer your email messages. The advantage of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two email protocols that you can select from when you configure the app of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you choose to store a copy on the mail 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 access the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to see old emails in case there’s a predicament with your Internet access, which is an immense advantage over web-based email services.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting
You will be able to use any email client and any desktop or handheld device to view your email messages if you buy one of our Linux website hosting packages. Our mail servers support both email retrieval protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can pick the one that fulfills your needs – you can download all email messages onto your PC or you can store the messages on the mail server in case you are running a firm and different employees need to gain access to them, for example. You can even download an auto-configuration file for a particular email account for any of the three most widely used desktop clients – Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail. You’ll just have to run the file on your computer and that email account will be set up automatically. If you’d rather use your smartphone, we have included elaborate tutorials on how to set up an email account on an Android- or an iOS-based mobile device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you use a semi-dedicated server package with our company, you’ll be able to view your email messages from any device with ease. If you are on the road all the time, you can check our comprehensive tutorials for iPhone and Android smartphones, and in case you use a notebook or a desktop PC, you can download our auto-config files for Thunderbird, Outlook and Apple Mail and set up a mailbox with your preferred email software program without needing to do anything manually. Since we offer support for both IMAP and POP3, you can go with the protocol that answers your demands best – you may decide to download personal emails at your end, whereas in case you use our services for commercial purposes, you should choose IMAP, so as to allow multiple people to access a specific mailbox from separate locations.
