If emails are a fundamental component of your e-correspondence with business partners or relatives, it would be better if you used an email with your own domain and an email provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, rather than relying on a web-based email service that entails restrictions as to the size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to access your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any software – Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, and so on. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to examine the emails at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, whereas with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the email server. On top of that, you’ll be able to take advantage of lots of other useful options – calendars, contact groups, and so on, not to mention that if there’s a brief problem with your Internet connection, you can still view your email messages since they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
