If you’ve got a domain name and a web hosting plan for it, you’ll be able to create mailboxes for personal or business purposes and to set them up with software programs such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. In the meantime, you will be able to pick one of the two most popular email retrieval protocols – IMAP or POP3. The first protocol will enable you to see all messages, but they will remain on the server, while with the second protocol, all messages will be downloaded onto the device where the mailbox is set up, unless you explicitly select a copy to be left on the server. In this way, you can choose if you want all your email correspondence to be kept on one single device, or if you’d rather be able to access the emails from different locations. The second alternative is quite useful for organizations where different people working on different computers need to access a particular mailbox.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Shared Website Hosting
You will be able to use any email client software and any handheld or desktop device to examine your emails if you opt for one of our Linux shared website hosting. Our mail servers offer support for both email protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can pick the one that fits your interests – you can download all email messages onto your personal computer or you can leave the messages on the email server in case you have a firm and different employees need to gain access to them, for example. You can even download a configuration file for a particular mailbox for any of the three most widely used desktop email clients – Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Outlook. You’ll just have to run the file on your PC and that mailbox will be automatically set up. If you would rather use your smartphone, we’ve got detailed tutorials on how to set up an email account on an iOS- or an Android-driven device.
