There’re numerous web-based email providers that you can resort to, but having a mailbox with your very own personal domain will provide you with more credibility if you have a business, for instance, 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 delivery protocols, you won’t encounter such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your computer to access your email accounts, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up an email account on your mobile device. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the mail server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded to your personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.
