Please excuse my wording as I don't know all the correct terminology. I have several email addresses with our current local phone company with our landline/internet package. Since the internet service is so poor, I would like to discontinue this internet service and go with something like Comcast. Once we cancel our internet service with our local phone company, we can no longer use those emails addresses (name@embarqmail.com). I'm trying to find the best provider that supports POP3 protocol as that works best for our household. And I'll need to set those email addresses up BEFORE I cancel with our local company. Can I set up emails with Thunderbird (name@thunderbird.com) or should I go with something like Gmail or Outlook or Yahoo? Trying to find the best solution so we don't have to do this again if we change internet providers. I already do have one Gmail account and it says it supports POP3 protocol - but it doesn't always work - sometimes I get an email on my phone that doesn't come through on my desktop computer - and you have to type Recent: while setting up the account. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
