POP3 or IMAP?
- POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) — used by a e-mail application for downloading messages from a mail server. All e-mails are simply downloaded and is permamently deleted from the server.
- IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) — used for a synchronization between e-mail application and mail server. All e-mails are stored on the mail server, and e-mail application just checks for any changes, that happen with the mailbox. The protocol synchronizes all data and folder structure. For example, if a user creates a folder via e-mail application, the same folder will be created on the mail server. When working through Webmail, user will see the same as he sees throuh e-mail application and vice versa. But keem in mind, that the synchronization is full, so if a user deletes an e-mail from the e-mail application, it will be deleted from server as well.
E-mail security
- E-mail password recovery. All passwords are stored encrypted, we're unable to remind them to you, the only we can do is to generate a new one. The only way to change a password via our support service — send us a request using an e-mail address that was used during registration. If you know a password for the cPanel hosting control panel, you may change the password from there.
- Accessing Webmail. All Webmails support use HTTPS protocol, so it's impossible for other party to read your e-mails.
- Working with e-mail applications. Our servers support encrypted connections (SSL), are supported both secure mail sending (SMTPS), and secure receiving (POP3S / IMAPS).
SPAM
All newly created e-mail boxes do not filter any spam by default, as it is forbidden by Latvian laws. To activate spam filtering with a powerful «SpamAssassin» tool, please follow the following tutorial:
