There are a lot of web-based mail service providers that you can resort to, but using an email account with your own domain will provide you with more credibility if you are running a company, for instance, not to mention that with web-based services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, you won’t bump into such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your computer to check your emails, including Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even set up a mailbox on your smartphone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded to your computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.

You will be able to use any email client and any device to view your emails if you get any of our Linux shared hosting. Our mail servers support both email protocols (IMAP and POP3), so you can select the one that answers your requirements – you can download all emails to your personal computer or you can store the messages on the email server in case you are running a firm and a number of people need to access them, for example. You can even download an auto-config file for a given mailbox for any of the three most widely used desktop email clients – Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird. You will simply have to run the file on your PC and that mailbox will be set up automatically.
