It’s reliable, it’s simple, it’s free, and virtually everyone who uses the internet has one. Email won’t be replaced for a LONG time.

To be fair, if it is "free" you are probably paying your mail provider with your data.

Or your ISP just provides you with one when you sign up.

Can never trust ISPs with that data.

They're marketing companies too. And imagine sending critical health emails to a company who wants to also sell you services, and suddenly, you get ads for it.

If you’re concerned about privacy, then that’s a no-no. Unless your clinic accepts PGP encrypted messages.

And we both know they don’t.
