your new e-mail address.
2. Complete your account by providing information for all of the required fields. Make
certain the account profile is 100 percent complete.
3. Since many users never read the user terms of agreement, they do not realize that
e-mail is owned by the host company. Potentially, the e-mail provider has access to
read or track communication sent and received without the user’s permission. Do
you think this is a violation of privacy? Explain why or why not.
