Many people still use an email address that was provided by their internet provider years ago. While it works well, it can create challenges if you ever move, change providers, or want more flexibility. 

Benefits of using popular email options such as Gmail or Outlook
• Keep your email even if you change providers 
Your Gmail or Outlook address stays with you no matter where you get your internet services. 

• Access your email anywhere 
Both Gmail and Outlook work on computers, phones, and tablets and offer powerful spam filtering and security features. 

• Better security protections 
Modern email providers offer features such as: 
o Multi-factor authentication 
o Security alerts 
o Spam and phishing protection 
o Password recovery options
