This is the part that everyone overlooks when they're basking in the glow if their fancy new free email account. You're not really a customer in the traditional sense, so you have very little leverage. Don't rely on such an account to be the center of your digital life. Don't rely that way on a paid account, either, but still, especially not a free one provided by a huge megacorp.
