If email messages are an indivisible part of your electronic correspondence with business partners or relatives, it would be better if you used a mailbox with your own personal domain name and an email provider that supports the IMAP and POP3 protocols, rather than relying on a web-based service that involves limitations in regards to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you will be able to access your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any program – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to check the email messages locally at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, while with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be kept on the server. Also, you’ll be able to use plenty of other handy options – contact groups, calendars, etc., not to mention that if there’s a brief issue with your Internet connectivity, you can still view your emails as they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
If you get a shared web hosting plan through us, you will be able to create mailboxes with any domain hosted under your account and to set them up with any email app. During the process, you can opt for POP3 or IMAP as we offer support for both email delivery protocols, so it will be up to you if all emails will be downloaded locally at your end or if they will remain on the email server. With our company, you can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone regardless of its Operating System and we’ve got detailed tutorials on how to do that. To save some time, you can also download and run our auto-config files to set up an account in Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook automatically. With our hosting plans, you can pick a preferred device and software app to examine your email messages.
