If emails are an essential part of your electronic communication with business colleagues or relatives, you would be better off using an email account with your very own personal domain name and a provider that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, rather than relying on a web-based service that involves limitations in regards to the size of the attachments. In this way, you’ll be able to check your mailboxes on any desktop or mobile device using any program – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, and so on. With the IMAP protocol, you’ll be able to check 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 on the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the mail server. Also, you will be able to take advantage of many other handy options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that in case there’s a brief issue with your Internet connection, you can still view your emails as they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
