If emails are a vital part of your e-correspondence with business partners or relatives, it would be better to use an email address with your own domain and a mail service provider that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email delivery protocols, instead of relying on a web-based service that involves limitations as to the maximum size of the attachments. In this way, you will be able to access your mails on any desktop or mobile device using any software program – Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, and so forth. With the IMAP email protocol, you’ll be able to see the emails locally at your end, but they will be on the server all the time, whereas with POP3, all email messages will be downloaded to the device, unless you choose a copy to be saved on the server. Moreover, you’ll be able to use a lot of other useful options – contact groups, calendars, and so on, not to mention that if there is a temporary problem with your Internet connection, you can still examine your email messages as they’ll be on your desktop or mobile device.
