I don’t understand email. How do I know which email service to choose? Won’t I be stuck only communicating with people on the same server? How will people find me? What if I don’t like my service and have to change my email address? Or if my service goes out of business? Why do some email providers charge money and others are free? Will I get ads in my email? It’s all so confusing. Why don’t we all agree on one giant email server that we all use that is secure and benevolent and free?
@Cdespinosa realistically most people haven't had to create their own email account, it was created for them by their ISP or workplace or if they did make their own, they did all just sign up to one central email provider, google. What they definitely didn't experience was going to the website or app for "email" and then get told to choose between hundreds of different options which they don't know how to differentiate between.

@ash @Cdespinosa but I do every time I log into one of my Webmail accounts....

I get asked if I want Horde, Roundcube or squrrelmail
