A good one. Like to give you a suggestion, Do this survey for all familiar free mail providers, not only the terms of security but user friendliness, useful options, storage capacity …. etc. and create a comparison chart. That chart will help users to create mail accounts according to their requirement.
Thank you Sameera. It is a really good suggestion.
I will try to expand the scope of this document.
nice work.
keep it up.
