Can you elaborate on this? I can only think of 2 examples, but neither seem like good ones:
1- someone holds power of attorney over someone else, and register an account (email account?) in their name. But if there's PoA involved, the 2nd person isn't (probably ?) able to manage an email account on their own, so this doesn't seem a meaningful distinction to worry about. (though if it's not an untreatable condition, it's possible that they might resume using their email account themselves, I guess)
2- the account is created by your ISP when you register, and they "helpfully" choose a username for you. So from this point of view, you didn't truly "create the account"
- loremipsumsum 6y ago3- Work e-mail is usually created by IT and users have no influence over it.
- whatatita 6y ago4 - school and academic emails are also often created the same for as work emails; following a Policy without any user involvement.
- inopinatus 6y ago5- parental/grandparental accounts. What’s more, speaking from our own support mailbox, these are the folks most likely to miscapitalize their email address.
