There are a lot of web-based email providers that you can use, but having an email with your very own personal domain name will give you more credibility if you are running a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, you won’t stumble upon such problems and you will be able to use any program on your computer to access your mails, including Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even set up an email account 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 mail server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded on your PC, unless you configure the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

During the setup procedure, you can choose IMAP or POP3 as we support both email retrieval protocols, so it will be up to you if all emails will be downloaded locally at your end or if they will stay on the mail server. With us, you can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone regardless of its Operating System and we’ve included detailed tutorials on how to do that. To save yourself time, you can also download and run our auto-config files to set up an account in Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird automatically. With our shared hosting plans, you can select a preferred device and app to examine your email messages.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages offer support for the two email retrieval protocols, so you can opt for either one when you set up an account with an email app. You can also download auto-configuration files for any mailbox that you create from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel, via which you administer the semi-dedicated server. In this way, you can add any account to Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail without needing to do anything manually.
