IMAP/POP3 E-mail Accounts

1&1's extremely flexible, easy-to-use and secure e-mail service

Mail
  • Customise your account to your needs with personal addresses and sub domains
  • Time-saving features such as catch-all, auto-responder and e-mail forwarding
  • The best protection from viruses with Symantec Security as standard

Every address you create can be personalised and is configurable for destinations. For example, choose to have your company e-mail address info@domain-of-your-choice.co.uk and get mail forwarded to a separate work or home address.

If your package contains sub domains, they can have their own e-mail addresses as well i.e. john@support.domain-of-your-choice.co.uk. Each e-mail account is independent and can be accessed by specific individuals.

1&1 supports two different types of mailbox:

  • IMAP

    Internet Message Access Protocol allows access to your e-mail over the Internet, through services like Gmail or Yahoo. Your mail is stored on a 1&1 server, allowing you to view from any Internet-enabled PC.

  • POP3

    Post Office Protocol-version 3 accounts hold your e-mail on 1&1 servers until you choose to download the content onto your computer, this can be an instantaneous process if you are logged into your e-mail package during the working day.
