If email messages are a fundamental part of your correspondence with business associates or relatives, it might be better to use an email with your own personal domain name and a provider that supports the IMAP and POP3 protocols, instead of using a web-based service that entails limitations as to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to access your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any software – Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to see the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be kept on the email server. In addition, you will be able to take advantage of a lot of other valuable options – contact groups, calendars, etc., not to mention that in case there is a brief predicament with your Internet access, you can still check your email messages since they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
