I've also seen many people who keep a gmail or other mass market account
as a professional address knowing that they will move between
institutional addresses.  As companies come and go faster and people
transition between them more often, keeping a semi-permanent
professional contact point is a sound strategy.

Can these people really be confident that "gmail.com" will outlive their 
professional life?  At the very least, they should use their own domain name - 
even if they use a GMail or Yahoo Mail-type service to host their email.  (As 
an extra benefit - to keep this message on-topic - the email that they send 
won't be subject to DMARC.)

The fact that such services are useful is undeniable.  As is the fact that 
"@yahoo.com" and "@gmail.com" email address look unprofessional.  They just do.

        Ross.
