In case emails are an indivisible component of your online correspondence with business colleagues or family members, you would be better off using an email account with your very own personal domain name and a mail service provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP protocols, instead of using a web-based email service that involves restrictions as to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to check your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any client – Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail, and so forth. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to check the emails at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, while with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the server. In addition, you will be able to take advantage of plenty of other useful options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that if there’s a brief predicament with your Internet access, you can still view your email messages as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
