In case you have an email account with your own personal domain and not a 3rd-party one, you’ll be able to use an email app such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to access and manage your email accounts. The advantage of using such applications is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email delivery protocols that you can select from when you configure the application of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first one, all messages that are received will be downloaded onto your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to leave a copy on the 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 email account on numerous devices and see the messages from any location. You’ll also be able to check old emails if there’s a predicament with your Internet access, which is an advantage over web-based email services.
