Email Service of Hosting

The host service should include a certain number of email accounts and an email server.

Email Account

The host solution should be capable of providing an email account for everyone in the company. For example:

peter@mycompany.com

paul@mycompany.com

mary@mycompany.com

POP Email

POP refers to Post Office Protocol. POP is a standard client/server protocol used for sending and receiving email.

Email will be received and saved on your internet server until you retrieve the letters through some client email programs (such as Outlook and Foxmail).

IMAP Email

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. IMAP is another standard protocol used for sending and receiving email.

IMAP provides certain improvements based on POP, that is, emails stored on the IMAP server can be processed by multiple computers without the need to transfer messages between computers. While POP is designed to support email access on a single computer.

Web-based Email

Web-based email allows us to access email through web browsers. After logging into your email account through the web, you can send and receive emails. It is very attractive to be able to access email from anywhere in the world.

Typical examples of web-based email include:Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail .

Email Forwarding

Email forwarding allows us to have multiple email names.

Through the email forwarding feature, you can set aliases for other email accounts:

For example:

You can forward emails sent to postmaster@mycompany.com to peter@mycompany.com

Forward emails sent to sales@mycompany.com to mary@mycompany.com

Email List

Email list feature may be provided on some servers. If you want to send emails to a large number of users, this is a valuable feature.
