POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts
What kinds of e-mail accounts are out there? Which type should you opt for when you configure your e-mail program?
If you have a domain and a web hosting package for it, you’ll be able to create email accounts for personal or business purposes and to set them up with apps such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. In the meantime, you will be able to select one of the two most popular email delivery protocols – IMAP or POP3. The first protocol will allow you to examine all messages, but they will remain on the email server, while with the second protocol, all email messages will be downloaded on the device where the mailbox is created, unless you specifically choose a copy to be saved on the server. Thus, you can choose if you want all your e-communication to be stored on a single device, or if you’d rather be able to examine the email messages from numerous places. The second option is rather useful for organizations where different employees working on separate machines need to have access to a specific email account.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting
You will be able to use any email client and any desktop or handheld device to check your email messages if you opt for one of our
Linux cloud website hosting packages. Our email servers offer support for both email retrieval protocols (POP3 and IMAP), so you can pick the one that satisfies your needs – you can download all emails on your personal computer or you can keep the emails on the mail server if you have a company and different people need to gain access to them, for example. You can even download an auto-config file for a given email account for any of the three most popular desktop clients – Thunderbird, Outlook and Apple Mail. You’ll just need to run the file on your PC and that email account will be set up automatically. In case you would rather use your smartphone, we have included exhaustive tutorials on how to configure a mailbox on an iOS- or an Android-based mobile device.
