Been here before and it ain't funny
As long as there's no mishap you should have your account before the month end.
Nobody needs to advice you now on importance of using a secured email.
Lol experienced sure is an harsh teacher.
Success in advance.

Thanks, nice to know the possible ETA this process may take, sucks you had to go through this too.

What I mean is that I bought a VPN and I received a free email, then at a later time the promotion expired and the VPN eventually stopped providing me that email, I stopped having access to it and the data in it was most likely erased

So why didn't you change the email address after the VPN promotion expired and they stopped providing you the email? I know that you didn't anticipate something like this happening, but it's a normal security concern to have everything up-to-date in your account. You don't need to have access to the previous email to change it to a new one, all you need is your password.

Anything other than saying I am a dumbass and careless will ring hollow, I should have done exactly as you describe, but I did not.

I also wonder how a person can create the same email address provided to someone by a specific service, in your case, the VPN service. If they were to buy the same promotion, they would probably not be allowed to have the same email address as yours.

A good question, and I suppose the most likely answer is we cannot expect for a VPN provider to hold the same kind of security as Gmail and other similar services.
