If email messages are an indivisible component of your correspondence with business colleagues or family members, 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 email retrieval protocols, rather than using a web-based service that entails restrictions in regards to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you’ll be able to check your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any client software – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so on. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to see the emails 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. Plus, you will be able to make use of lots of other handy options – calendars, contact groups, and so on, not to mention that in case there’s a temporary predicament with your Internet connection, you can still see your email messages as they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
