If email messages are a vital component of your communication with business associates or relatives, you might be better off using an email account with your own domain and a provider that supports the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, rather than relying on a web-based email service that involves limitations as to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to access your mails on any desktop or mobile device using any software app – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. With the IMAP protocol, you’ll be able to view the emails at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, whereas with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the server. Plus, you will be able to make use of lots of other valuable options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that if there’s a brief issue with your Internet access, you can still view your emails since they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Web Hosting
With a web hosting from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email app to view your emails. We offer support for the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, so you can opt for either of them when you set up an email account according to your individual preferences. To make things simpler, 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 application by simply running that file on your computer. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two email services go hand in hand, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the given email account is configured.
