What if my email provider, let's call it @MySuperAwesomeEmailProvider.com just goes out of business and decided to stop the service. Then I can't answer to the emails you will "life-ping" me with. And I won't even be able to change my email address on your system because I would have lost my account password. And then the next day, I don't think I would be able to go out.

You can just send us an email and prove that you own the account and we'll change your email for you, it's not that big a problem.

Do you have a policy for how users can _prove_ that they are who they're claiming to be ? Can you handle having _too_many_ users under the terms of that policy ?

The only proof we have is the email validation, but the service doesn't claim to actually be a will. It's more about emailing your friends or family one last time.

I don't understand the question about too many users, can you clarify?

if you are worried that your email provider will go out of service without notice, you should get a different email provider.

I'm worried with _all_ email providers

You should get your own domain, then you can move at will.
