There’re plenty of web-based email service providers that you can use, but using an email address with your own personal domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are restrictions on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. If you use an email service that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, you will not encounter such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your PC to access your emails, including Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. 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 to your PC, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Web Hosting

With a Linux shared web hosting package from us, you will be able to use any device and any email application to check your email messages. We offer support for the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, so you can opt for either one of them when you set up a mailbox in accordance with your personal preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small-sized configuration file from your hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each mailbox that you create. You can swiftly set up the latter with your chosen app by simply running that file on your computer. This option represents an alternative to our webmail and the two email 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 PC where the particular mailbox is set up.
