In case email messages are an integral part of your communication with business colleagues or family members, you would be better off using an email address with your own personal domain name and a mail service provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, instead of relying on a web-based service that involves limitations as to the size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to access your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any software app – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you’ll be able to view the email messages locally at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, whereas with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the mail server. Besides, you will be able to use lots of other handy options – contact groups, calendars, etc., not to mention that in case there is a brief problem with your Internet access, you can still see your emails since they will be on your desktop or handheld device.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

With a shared web hosting plan from us, you will be able to use any device and any email application to view your email messages. We offer support for the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, so you can pick either of them when you create a mailbox according to your personal preferences. To make things simpler, you can download a small file from your Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you set up. You can automatically 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 services are harmonized, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the particular mailbox is configured.
