In case emails are a key component of your online correspondence with business partners or relatives, you would be better off using an email with your very own personal domain name and an email service provider that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, rather than using a web-based email service that entails restrictions with regard to the size of the attachments. Thus, you will be able to access your email messages on any desktop or mobile device using any client software – Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to check the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be stored on the server. Additionally, you will be able to make use of plenty of other useful options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that if there is a brief issue with your Internet service, you can still view your email messages as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
