There’re plenty of web-based mail service providers that you can use, but having an email address with your 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 limitations on the size of the attachments that you can send or receive. In case you use an email service that offers support for the IMAP and POP3 email protocols, you won’t stumble upon such problems and you’ll be able to use any program on your computer to access your email messages, including Outlook, Thunderbird 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 onto your personal computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.
