There’re lots of web-based email providers that you can resort to, but using an email address with your very own personal domain will grant you more credibility if you have a company, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, you will not stumble upon such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your personal computer to check your emails, including Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even set up a mailbox on your mobile phone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the email server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded on your personal computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.
