If you have an email account with your own domain instead of a third-party one, you’ll be able to make use of an email software application such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail to check and manage your emails. The advantage of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email protocols that you can select from when you configure the app of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – mobile or desktop, unless you decide to leave a copy on the mail server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will remain on the server at all times, so you can set up the account on numerous devices and see the messages from any place. You will also be able to view old emails if there’s an issue with your Internet access, which is a huge advantage over a web-based email service.
