If emails are an important part of your e-communication with business associates or relatives, you might be better off using 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 involves limitations in regards to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you’ll be able to check your mails on any desktop or mobile device using any application – Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and so on. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to view the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be stored on the server. Plus, you will be able to take advantage of a lot of other handy options – calendars, contact groups, etc., not to mention that in case there is a brief issue with your Internet service, you can still view your email messages since they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
