. . . Gmail will let you make as many personal and business email accounts you want, for free. As well as allow you to link them together. I suggest Gmail for anything because unlike Yahoo and some other emails, Gmail has had the least issues getting important mail (like Account Guard emails). Yahoo has been notorious for eating such mails.
As for Gmail, one thing to note, you only need 1 email address. Gmail treats email addresses with dots in the name as though the dots aren't there, for example:
so you can create multiple accounts with the same email address just by adding dots to the gmail email address, but from a neverwinter point of view they are two separate accounts.

This pet is actually hilarious when you pull him out.
Whenever you zone its like having a magic 8 ball telling your fortune.
Its definitely a unique companion. I never really intended to use this one summoned, despite that fact its one of the more useful ones out there. But in order to upgrade it you have to level it up. So I've had to run Sharandar and Dread ring again for the thousandth time. Still the random comments this companion makes are just like the things you'd see on a magic 8 ball and its really entertaining.

Just as an FYI, I have seen this cause issues for people who use gmail. It will let someone make the 'my.email.address@gmail.com' (if it is available) even if that user does not have the 'myemailaddress@gmail.com' and the person with the non-dot email address will see the other person's emails. This has come up several times where I work and when we send emails out to customers.

Seconding that this is absolutely the case, and a real problem with gmail's use of "fuzzy" names. I've had a firstname.lastname@gmail.com email address since back when you needed a beta invite to get one, and routinely receive emails intended for at least two different individuals with variants on my addy.

i attempted this myself with my own email and a brand new email and i got this error. "Someone already has that username. Note that we ignore periods and capitalization in usernames. Try another?" it doesnt work that way. the accounts are safe. no need to spread misinfo.

Every e-mail account I've ever had is for junk. I don't use e-mail for anything important. But since e-mail providers are now wanting phone numbers, which I won't give, I have to limit the spam my junk e-mail accounts get.
