If emails are an indivisible part of your electronic communication with business colleagues or family members, it might be better to use an email with your very own personal domain and a mail service provider that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 protocols, instead of resorting to a web-based service that involves restrictions with regard to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you’ll be able to check your email messages on any desktop or mobile device using any client – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc. With the IMAP protocol, you’ll be able to check the emails at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with the POP3 protocol, all emails will be downloaded on the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the server. Furthermore, you’ll be able to make use of a lot of other handy options – contact groups, calendars, etc., not to mention that in case there is a temporary issue with your Internet service, you can still check your emails as they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
