If emails are an essential component of your electronic communication with business partners or relatives, it might be better to use an email account with your very own personal domain name and a mail service provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, rather than using a web-based service that involves restrictions with regard to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to access your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any client software – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, 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, 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. Besides, you will be able to make use of plenty of other valuable options – calendars, contact groups, etc., not to mention that in case there’s a temporary predicament with your Internet connectivity, you can still view your emails since they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
