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.
