Please remember that if you are emailing through a work email address your employer has the right to read your emails. Also, if you are experiencing domestic violence please take steps to ensure that the abuser does not have access to your email address. You can set up a new web-based email address that the abuser is not aware of or you can pick a password that the abuser cannot guess.
