There’re a lot of web-based mail service providers that you can resort to, but having an email with your own personal domain will grant you more credibility if you have a company, for example, 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 protocols, you will not have such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your PC to check your emails, including Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even set up an email account on your mobile phone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your personal computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Website Hosting
With a Linux website hosting from our company, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software app to check your email messages. We offer support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, so you can select either one of them when you configure an email account depending on your own preference. To make things easier, you can download a small configuration file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each email account that you create. You can swiftly set up the latter with your desired app by simply running that file on your PC. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two email services are harmonized, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the given mailbox is set up.
