If you have a mailbox with your own domain and not a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email software application such as Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird to access and manage your email messages. The advantage of using such applications is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email delivery protocols that you can choose from when you set up the app of your preference to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you choose to save a copy on the email server. With the second one, the email messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the account on multiple devices and check the messages from any location. You’ll also be able to check old email messages if there is an issue with your Internet connection, which is an immense advantage over a web-based service.
