About this training

Your email has to physically arrive somewhere, and one public record says where. It will tell you whether you are on Google, on Microsoft, on your web host, or on something nobody has maintained in years.

This is worth knowing before you need it. When email breaks, the first question anyone competent will ask is who runs your mail — and a surprising number of owners cannot answer.
