If email messages are a key component of your electronic correspondence with business partners or family members, it would be better to use a mailbox with your very own personal domain and a provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP protocols, instead of resorting to a web-based email service that entails limitations with regards to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to access your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any software program – Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to examine the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with POP3, all emails will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be kept on the mail server. Moreover, you’ll be able to make use of lots of other useful options – contact groups, calendars, etc., not to mention that if there’s a brief problem with your Internet service, you can still check your emails as they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
