There are plenty of web-based email service providers that you can resort to, but having a mailbox with your own domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. In case you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 protocols, you won’t come across such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your PC to access your mailboxes, including Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even set up an email account on your mobile device. The difference between the two email 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 onto your personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Hosting
With a shared plan from our company, you’ll be able to use any device and any email application to see your emails. We support the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, so you can pick either of them when you configure a mailbox according to your individual preferences. To make things easier, you can download a small-sized file from your Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each email account that you create. You can easily set up the latter with your chosen app by simply clicking on that file. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two 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 mailbox is configured.
