If emails are an essential part of your e-correspondence with business colleagues or relatives, you would be better off using an email with your very own personal domain name and an email provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP protocols, instead of relying on a web-based email service that entails restrictions in regards to the size of the attachments. In this way, you’ll be able to check your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any software app – Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to see the email messages locally at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be kept on the mail server. Also, you will be able to take advantage of a lot of other valuable options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that in case there’s a temporary predicament with your Internet connection, you can still see your emails as they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
