POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts
Find out about the various e-mail protocol varieties and which type to choose when connecting with a mail client.
In case you have a domain name and a web hosting plan for it, you’ll be able to create mailboxes for personal or business purposes and to set them up with email software applications such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. In the meantime, you will be able to choose one of the two most popular protocols – IMAP or POP3. The first one will enable you to access all messages, but they will stay on the email server, while with the second protocol, all email messages will be downloaded on the device where the email account is created, unless you specifically select a copy to be saved on the server. Thus, you can choose if you’d like all your email communication to be stored on one single device, or if you’d rather be able to examine the email messages from many locations. The second alternative is very handy for companies where different employees working on separate computers need access to a specific mailbox.
