In case you use a mailbox with your very own personal domain and not a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email application such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to check and administer your mailboxes. The advantage of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two different email protocols that you can choose from when you configure the application of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all messages that are received will be downloaded onto your device – mobile or desktop, unless you decide to leave a copy on the email server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will remain 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 will also be able to examine old email messages if there is a problem with your Internet access, which is an enormous advantage over web-based email services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting

With a Linux shared hosting from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email app to see your email messages. We support the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, so you can opt for either one of them when you create a mailbox depending on your own preferences. To make things easier, you can download a small configuration file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you create. You can swiftly set up the latter with your desired app by simply running that file on your computer. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two email services complement each other, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the particular email account is configured.
