 Conclusion: If you get work email from non-institutional email address (like google.com, seznam.cz, post.de, outlook.com, yahoo.com etc.) you should take it as a potential fake email. Every employee and student at institutuon has his/her own institutional email address so it may be expected to get emails from such addresses, not from freemail etc.
+===== Important Recommendations =====
+**Never use your login name as your email address** - use format //name.surname@cerge-ei.cz// not //username@cerge-ei.cz// to avoid guessing your real account name by hackers. If your username is publicly known there is much more oportunity to misuse it. Attackers can repeatedly lock your account during brute-force campaigns, for example.
+**Use __different password__ for email account and network account** - passwords to email accounts are usually stored at several places (email clients) so it is much easier to reveal these. If passwords are the same, attacker gain access to all your account.
