If email messages are a vital part of your communication with business partners or family members, you would be better off using an email address with your own domain name and a provider that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, instead of relying on a web-based email service that involves restrictions with regards to the size of the attachments. In this way, you’ll be able to access your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any app – Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you’ll be able to examine the emails locally at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, while with the POP3 protocol, all email messages will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be kept on the server. Additionally, you will be able to take advantage of plenty of other useful options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that in case there is a temporary predicament with your Internet service, you can still see your emails since they’ll be on your desktop or handheld device.
