Are there any disadvantages?
The very convenience of e-mail can make it easy for unscrupulous businesses to send you unsolicited messages (commonly known as 'Spam'). It's the electronic equivalent of the 'junk mail' you receive through your letterbox, except in this case it may also contain messages which are offensive or distasteful to some.
Spam is best avoided, by revealing your e-mail address only to carefully chosen recipients. And never respond to any of it, as the unscrupulous businesses will just take it as confirmation that your e-mail address is 'live' and likely subject you to even more!
