There’re a lot of web-based email service providers that you can use, but having a mailbox with your own personal domain name will give you more credibility if you are running a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you won’t have such problems and you will be able to use any program on your personal computer to check your emails, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even set up an email account on your smartphone. 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, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your PC, unless you set up the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.

With a cloud plan from us, you’ll be able to use any device and any email software app to see your email messages. We offer support for the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, so you can pick either one when you configure a mailbox based on your own preferences. To make things easier, you can download a small-sized file from your Control Panel’s Email Manager section for each email account that you create. You can swiftly set up the latter with your chosen application by simply running that file on your computer. This option is an alternative to our webmail and the two services go hand in hand, so if you create a new folder in Outlook, for example, it will appear both in the webmail and on any PC where the particular email account is set up.
