If you use an email account with your own personal domain and not a third-party one, you will be able to make use of an email software application such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to check and administer your email accounts. The benefit of using such apps is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email retrieval protocols that you can select from when you configure the application of your preference to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – mobile or desktop, unless you choose to save a copy on the email server. With the second protocol, 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 see the messages from any place. You will also be able to examine old emails in case there’s a predicament with your Internet access, which is a huge advantage over web-based email services.
