In case email messages are an indivisible component of your electronic correspondence with business colleagues or relatives, you would be better off using an email with your very own personal domain and an email provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, instead of resorting to a web-based service that entails restrictions with regard to the size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to access your mailboxes on any desktop or mobile device using any software – Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and so on. With the IMAP protocol, you’ll be able to check the email messages at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with POP3, all emails will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the email server. Additionally, you’ll be able to take advantage of lots of other useful options – calendars, contact groups, and so on, not to mention that if there is a brief predicament with your Internet connectivity, you can still examine your email messages as they will be on your desktop or mobile device.
