There are plenty of web-based email providers that you can resort to, but having an email account 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 limitations on the size of the attachments that you can receive or send. In case you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP email delivery protocols, you will not stumble upon such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your personal computer to check your email accounts, including Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. You can even set up a mailbox on your smartphone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally 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 save a copy on the server.
