If emails are an indispensable component of your e-communication with business associates or family members, you might be better off using an email account with your very own personal domain and an email provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, rather than using a web-based service that entails limitations in regards to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to access your mails on any desktop or mobile device using any software program – Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to check the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be kept on the email server. Plus, you’ll be able to use lots of other handy options – calendars, contact groups, and so on, not to mention that if there is a temporary issue with your Internet connectivity, you can still see your emails as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
