If you have an email with your very own personal domain name instead of a third-party one, you’ll be able to make use of an email software app such as Apple Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook to check and administer your email messages. The benefit of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you configure the application of your choosing to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all email messages that are received will be downloaded onto your device – mobile or desktop, unless you choose to save a copy on the mail server. With the second protocol, the email messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will remain on the server all the time, so you can set up the email account on numerous devices and check the messages from any location. You will also be able to examine old emails in case there’s a problem with your Internet connection, which is an advantage over a web-based email service.
