There are lots of web-based mail service providers that you can use, but having a mailbox with your own domain name will grant you more credibility if you have a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are limits on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. In case you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 protocols, you won’t experience such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your personal computer to access your email messages, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even set up an email account on your mobile phone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the mail server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded on your computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.
POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Hosting
With a cloud hosting plan from our company, you will be able to use any device and any email software app to access your emails. We offer support for the POP3 and IMAP protocols, so you can opt for either of them when you set up a mailbox based on your individual preference. To make things simpler, you can download a small 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 clicking on that file. This option is an alternative to our webmail and the two email services complement each other, so if you create a folder in Outlook, for instance, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the particular mailbox is set up.
