There’re plenty of web-based mail service providers that you can resort to, but using an email address with your own domain name will provide you with more credibility if you have a business, for example, not to mention that with web-based email services there are limitations on the 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 won’t bump into such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your personal computer to check your email messages, including Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird. You can even set up an email account 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 set up the program in such a way as to store a copy on the server.
