thanks for your servece and i will remember my life this

I have microsoft outlook email at my school. I think someone is reading my email. Can the server or administrators see which computer is accessing my account or if someone is doing it online by the exchange? Thanks.

Maybe. It depends on exactly how they're configured, and if they're willing to take the time.

I have a client(CFO, CEO) who is having issues with information being passed to outside people.

They need to determine if the admin person is passing out the information. We know how to stop it but must determine and confirm whow the problem is.

Is there software that can not be detected on the desktop that can determine id e-mail has been opened and passed on?

Frank

There are things such as keyloggers that may help. But realize that any software installed can be detected ... it's just a matter of how difficult it is to detect. Anyway, this site has pointers to packages - mostly aimed at parents, but the concept is the same: http://www.safetysurf.com/

I think someone is in my email at my school account. Is there any way I can get them to monitor it and tell me exactally who it could be?

Depends on your school. All I can say is "maybe". You'll have to ask them.

I think someone is using spyware to look into my email. I tried one of those free spy ware scanners and it said that it found 4. It said that I had 2 Alexa adware and 2 CWS. Does that free scanning stuff really work? And if so how do I get rid of it and what exactly is the difference between the two.

Yes, the free stuff does work :-). The Alexa things probably no biggie, but CWS, also known as Cool Web Search, is a big annoying page hijacker in Internet Explorer. The good news is that neither have nything to do with email.

i have an msn email account as well as a juno account. if someone is trying to guess my password and get into my email without me knowing is there any way msn will know and notify me? I have purposely entered the incorrect password several times to see what happens and it just tells me i have made too many attempts with the wrong password and that my email is temporarily unavailable. is there any way of finding out if someone is trying to get into it and then finding out who it is?
