In case you use an email account with your own personal domain and not a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email application such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail to access and administer your email accounts. The benefit of using such applications is that they also offer other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two different email delivery protocols that you can choose from when you set up the app of your choice to access your email account – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded to your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to leave a copy on the email server. With the second one, the messages will be displayed at your end, but they will stay on the server at all times, so you can set up the email account on multiple devices and access the email messages from any place. You’ll also be able to access old email messages in case there’s a predicament with your Internet connectivity, which is an immense advantage over web-based services.
