In case email messages are a fundamental component of your correspondence with business partners or family members, it might be better to use an email with your own personal domain name and a provider that supports the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, instead of relying on a web-based service that involves restrictions with regards to the maximum size of the attachments. Thus, you will be able to check your mails on any desktop or mobile device using any software program – Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and so forth. With the IMAP protocol, you will be able to see the emails at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, while with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the server. On top of that, you’ll be able to take advantage of many other valuable options – calendars, contact groups, etc., not to mention that in case there’s a brief predicament with your Internet access, you can still check your emails since they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
