If emails are an indivisible component of your e-correspondence with business colleagues or family members, you might be better off using an email account with your very own personal domain name and an email provider that supports the IMAP and POP3 protocols, instead of resorting to a web-based email service that involves restrictions in regards to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to check your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any software – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to view the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with POP3, all emails will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the server. Furthermore, you will be able to take advantage of lots of other handy options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that if there is a brief problem with your Internet service, you can still check your email messages as they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
