If you have an email account with your own domain name instead of a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email software app such as Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird to access and administer your email accounts. The advantage of using such applications is that they also offer other features, such as address books and calendars. There are two different email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you set up the app of your preference to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all email messages that are received will be downloaded onto your device – desktop or mobile, unless you decide to save a copy on the server. With the second one, the 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 numerous devices and view the messages from any location. You’ll also be able to see old emails in case there’s a problem with your Internet connection, which is an enormous advantage over a web-based service.
