If you have a mailbox with your own domain instead of a 3rd-party one, you will be able to use an email software application such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail to check and manage your email accounts. The advantage of using such applications is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email protocols that you can select from when you set up the app of your choosing to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – desktop or mobile, unless you choose to store a copy on the mail 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 numerous devices and check the messages from any location. You’ll also be able to access old email messages if there’s an issue with your Internet connectivity, which is an immense advantage over web-based services.
