If emails are a vital component of your online communication with business partners or relatives, it would be better if you used an email with your own personal domain and an email service provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email protocols, instead of using a web-based email service that entails restrictions in regards to the size of the attachments. In this way, you’ll be able to check your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any program – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. With the IMAP email protocol, you’ll be able to check the email messages locally at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the email server. Furthermore, you will be able to make use of a lot of other valuable options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that in case there is a brief issue with your Internet access, you can still examine your emails since they will be on your desktop or handheld device.
