In case emails are an important part of your e-correspondence with business colleagues or family members, it might be better to use an email with your very own personal domain and a provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, instead of relying on a web-based service that entails limitations with regards to the size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to check your emails on any desktop or mobile device using any client – Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, etc. With the IMAP email protocol, you will 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 saved on the email server. Moreover, you’ll be able to make use of lots of other useful options – calendars, contact groups, and so on, not to mention that in case there’s a temporary predicament with your Internet service, you can still check your email messages since they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
