How secure is email?
29.November, 2008
A while ago, my ex was snooping and I found he got into my email account. I knew this because I hadn't been in my email and there were messages I know I didn't open that appeared to have been openend. Not sure how he did it. Nice trick, I'd like to know how he did that! How can I secure that this won't happen to me again should I be sharing a computer with someone in the future?
Do not save your passwords to your computer, a lot of people do that and it's not something you should do.
Make sure your password isn't something easy… try a letter/number combination.
Always make sure you hit the logout button… if you don't, most of the time you'll stay logged in so all he has to do it go to your email and he's already logged in.

Make a brand new account or use different mail hosts. For example, there's Gmail, Yahoo, and many other email sites that allows you to have good secure email address.
I personally believe that Yahoo has the best protection out of all, which I recommend using it if you aren't.
