POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts
There are a few types of e-mail accounts out there - learn more about their pluses and minuses.
If you have a domain name and a web hosting account for it, you will be able to create mailboxes for personal or commercial purposes and to set them up with applications such as Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. During the procedure, you will be able to choose one of the two popular email retrieval protocols – IMAP or POP3. The first one will enable you to examine all messages, but they will stay on the server, while with the second one, all email messages will be downloaded to the device where the email account is configured, unless you explicitly select a copy to be kept on the server. Thus, you can choose if you’d like all your email communication to be kept on one single device, or if you’d rather be able to access the emails from numerous places. The latter option is rather valuable for companies where different employees working on different computers need to have access to a specific mailbox.
