your e-mail in famous 5 min install: mine or my client's?

I'm locally developing a WP site for a client, during the famous 5 minute install under the "Your E-mail" field, should I use my company's email or my client's?

It depends on a few things. For starters, you can use your own email and change it later.

Other things like, will the client have admin access, or will you create them an account after you set things up, how is the current account's name attributed to the posts and pages, etc..

Hi Sergio,

You can set this as your email address for now and change these settings later if needed. See the Codex.
