Posted by: Ami at May 11, 2008 1:16 PMHello Leo; I was wondering if it is possible to use SSH access (Putty or other SSH client) with free email servers such as Gmail or yahoo? I mean, Does any free email service providers allows users to connect to their email servers via SSH? ... I have been doing some research and it looks that none of the free email providers worldwide supports and allows users to connect to their email servers using SSH. Does anyone knows about a free email service provider which allows users to connect via SSH? I mean, for Free.

I'm not aware of any free services that allow for SSH
access.
With *some* you can do secure SMTP and POP3 instead - that's
typically easier to set up anyway. Check with the provider.

I believe someone hacked into my yahoo e-mail account and took some e-mails and forwarded them to someone else. Just not sure how this can happen?
Posted by: Quiver at July 29, 2008 2:36 PMI have Yahoo as E mail. I can tell someone is spying on my E mails and some get deleted before I can see them I have windows visa and want to use my windows mail but don't know how to set it up. I also have Verizon as broadband built into my computer which I purchased from Dell. I don't feel secure at all, when I go into my acct, my computer makes me shut down without signing off. I really need security. PLEASE HELP. I have macAfee but it seems like I am getting phising pages instead of the real thin.

Posted by: Betty at September 20, 2008 11:10 AMLeo,
Or anyone else that knows the answer. Would a proprietary email program such as the original Juno 5 be safer than Windows mail? I am not sure if its POP or not, but I do not think it is.
Thanks.
Posted by: Rob at December 16, 2008 7:49 PMIf I scan all my important docs - birth certificates, credit cards info, etc and email it to myself to keep in a file that can be accessed by myself anywhere I am - Is it safe, can anyone else access the info in my hotmail account?
Given the frequency with which I hear about account theft and hacks, there's no way anyone should be keeping that kind of information in a free email account like Hotmail.
Even mailing it to yourself is dangerous, because the mail travels unencrypted, and could be sniffed somewhere along the way.
Don't do it.
