In case you have a domain name and a hosting plan for it, you’ll be able to create email accounts for personal or commercial purposes and to set them up with programs such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. In the meantime, you will be able to opt for one of the two most popular email retrieval protocols – IMAP or POP3. The first one will enable you to view all email messages, but they will stay on the mail server, while with the second one, all email messages will be downloaded on the device where the mailbox is set up, unless you specifically choose a copy to be kept on the server. Thus, you can choose if you’d like all your email communication to be kept on a single device, or if you would rather be able to view the emails from various places. The second option is quite valuable for businesses where a number of people working on different computers need to gain access to a particular email account.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Web Hosting

You will be able to use any email client software and any desktop or handheld device to check your email messages if you pick one of our web hosting plans. Our email servers support both email retrieval protocols (IMAP and POP3), so you can select the one that fulfills your requirements – you can download all email messages onto your home computer or you can leave the messages on the mail server if you are running a firm and different people need to get access to them, for instance. You can even download a configuration file for a given mailbox for any of the three most widely used desktop email clients – Apple Mail, Outlook and Thunderbird. You’ll only need to run the file on your PC and that email account will be automatically set up. In case you’d rather use your smartphone, we have in-depth tutorials on how to create an email account on an iOS- or an Android-driven mobile device.
