If you use a mailbox with your own domain name and not a third-party one, you’ll be able to use an email software application such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook to check and administer your emails. The advantage of using such apps is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email protocols that you can choose from when you configure the app of your preference to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all messages that are received will be downloaded onto your device – desktop or mobile, unless you decide to keep a copy on the mail server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and view the email messages from any location. You will also be able to view old email messages in case there is a predicament with your Internet access, which is a big advantage over web-based email services.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

With a Linux shared web hosting package from our company, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software app to access your email messages. We offer support for the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, so you can pick either of them when you configure a mailbox in accordance with your own preferences. To make things simpler, you can download a small-sized file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you set up. You can automatically set up the latter with your desired app by simply clicking on that file. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two email services complement each other, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any computer where the given mailbox is set up.
