    Several possibilities:

    • it sends them a confirmation that you have received their email, open/read and interact with it. They will send you spam forever and sell your email address to other spammers
    • they trick you into submitting your username/password to them. They will become the owner of the mailbox after locking you out.

    Hello, I would recommend strongly saving your important messages in a folder or printing and monitoring your email box almost every day and changing your password for two weeks or months or opening another email

    but also delete them and make backups elsewhere
