If emails are a key part of your online communication with business associates or family members, it might be better to use an email with your very own personal domain and an email provider that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, rather than resorting to a web-based service that involves limitations 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 software app – Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail, and so on. With the IMAP email protocol, you will be able to examine the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the server. Additionally, you will be able to use lots of other handy options – calendars, contact groups, etc., not to mention that if there is a brief predicament with your Internet connection, you can still examine your emails since they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
