Thank you for reminding people of this. I can only agree and amplify.
We have seen people on the forum saying "My corporate client uses gmail and I've never had any problems" but these are the exceptions that prove the rule.
If you're dealing with a person who purports to represent a company, a good rule of thumb is to assume that they will not (and should not!) be using free email. In the last company at which I worked, webmail sites such as gmail were actually blocked by the corporate firewall.
This is so obvious that it really shouldn't need saying, but apparently there are (still) freelancers out there who naively believe that Big Company Inc. would not use the corporate domain to contact them, so...
Regards,
Dan
