In case you choose POP3 over IMAP to set up your Bluehost email account in your email client, ensure to utilize the following Bluehost settings for POP3:
| POP3 Server | Your domain name (e.g. example.com) |
| POP3 Port | 995 |
| POP3 Security | SSL |
| Username | Your Bluehost email address |
| Password | The password of your email account |
Why use POP3 instead of IMAP?
If you set up your Bluehost email account using POP3, your emails will be downloaded from the server and stored on your device. This means that you can access your emails even when you're offline. Furthermore, you save disk space and do not run out of storage capacity on your Bluehost email account.
However, if you use multiple devices to access your Bluehost email account, you'll only be able to access your emails on the device where you initially downloaded them. So if you wish to read your emails on multiple devices, IMAP is the better option.
