In case emails are an important component of your e-correspondence with business partners or relatives, it might be better to use an email account with your own domain name and an email provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, rather than relying on a web-based email service that entails limitations in regards to the size of the attachments. Thus, you will be able to check your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any client – Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, and so on. With the IMAP email protocol, you’ll be able to see the emails at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, while with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the email server. Plus, you will be able to make use of lots of other useful options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that in case there’s a brief issue with your Internet connectivity, you can still check your email messages since they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
