Email is somewhat more confidential than a community noticeboard, but only somewhat. In terms of privacy, email is a lot like a postcard.

Here are a few things you can do if you are concerned about the privacy of your email:

• Don't use email at a public terminal.
• Don't put personal information, credit card numbers,
• or telephone numbers in email messages.
• Logoff when finished.
• Hold down Alt and keep pressing the Left
• Arrow key to return to the Hotmail logon,
• delete your password and click on Enter.
• Clear all cache and history files.
