If emails are an essential part of your electronic communication with business colleagues or relatives, it would be better to use an email account with your very own personal domain and an email service provider that supports the POP3 and IMAP email retrieval protocols, rather than resorting to a web-based service that involves restrictions with regard to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to check your email accounts on any desktop or mobile device using any software application – Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and so forth. With the IMAP protocol, you’ll be able to check the email messages locally at your end, but they will be on the server at all times, while with POP3, all emails will be downloaded onto the device, unless you choose a copy to be left on the email server. Also, you will be able to make use of lots of other handy options – calendars, contact groups, etc., not to mention that if there is a brief issue with your Internet connectivity, you can still examine your email messages since they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
