⚜️ Free email services and accounts are convenient and ubiquitous. They can be used safely if and only if you take responsibility for that safety.
⚜️ Using free email services
Free email accounts can be viable, but only if you acknowledge the hidden costs (privacy, spam, poor/no customer service) and risks (potentially permanent account loss). Mitigate these risks by securing your account properly, backing up your data, and preparing for disaster. Ultimately, you must take personal responsibility to use free email accounts safely.
