There are numerous web-based email providers that you can resort to, 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 limits on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you won’t experience such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your personal computer to access your mailboxes, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile device. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded to your computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
With a shared hosting from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software app to access your emails. We support the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, so you can choose either one when you create an email account according to your individual preferences. To make things simpler, you can download a small file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each email account that you set up. You can effortlessly set up the latter with your preferred app by simply running that file on your computer. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two services go hand in hand, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the given mailbox is set up.
