There’re plenty of web-based email providers that you can use, but having an email address with your own domain name will give you more credibility if you have a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are limitations on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. In case you use an email service that supports the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you will not run into such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your personal computer to access your emails, including Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile device. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded to your computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to save a copy on the server.
