In case emails are an important component of your online correspondence with business colleagues or family members, it would be better to use an email address with your very own personal domain name and a mail service provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, instead of resorting to a web-based email service that involves restrictions with regards to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you’ll be able to access your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any client software – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc. With the IMAP email protocol, you’ll be able to check the emails locally 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 kept on the server. Moreover, you’ll be able to make use 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 connectivity, you can still view your email messages since they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
