There’re many web-based email providers that you can resort to, but using an email account with your very own personal domain will grant you more credibility if you have a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based services there are limits on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. If you use an email service that supports the IMAP and POP3 email retrieval protocols, you will not face such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your PC to check your mailboxes, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. 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 at your end, but remains on the server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded onto your computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.
