If emails are an integral part of your electronic correspondence with business colleagues or family members, you might be better off using an email address with your own personal domain name and an email service provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, rather than resorting to a web-based service that entails restrictions with regards to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to access your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any software app – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, and so on. With the IMAP protocol, you’ll be able to view the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the mail server. Moreover, you will be able to make use of lots of other valuable options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that if there’s a brief problem with your Internet service, you can still view your emails since they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
