Do you support IMAP?

Email & Webmail | Updated 2026

Yes, all Ultra Web Hosting plans include full IMAP support. IMAP is the recommended email protocol for most users because it keeps your messages synced across all your devices.

01. Why Use IMAP?

IMAP keeps your email on the server and syncs it across every device you use. Read a message on your phone, and it shows as read on your laptop too. Delete something in Outlook, and it disappears in webmail. This is the behavior most people expect from modern email.

For a detailed comparison with POP3, see POP3 vs IMAP - Choosing the Right Email Protocol.

02. Setup Guides

Disk Space Note

Because IMAP keeps all messages on the server, it uses more disk space than POP3. Clean out your Trash and Junk folders regularly. See Does Email Count Towards Disk Space?
