Top Tips for E-mail Safety
Basic e-mail safety
The e-mail you send is largely unencrypted – meaning anybody with internet connection and computer know-how has the potential to intercept your correspondence. However the typical user will have the latest virus protection and/or security suite as standard, so your computer will always be reasonably secure. Security is especially worth remembering when using computers outside of your home, school or office. A year ago I would happily log on to my internet banking from a cyber-cafe. These days I might think twice, just to be on the safe side. Read More...

Hi, only last week I found out that when signing in to Windows Live Mail (where you´ve got to enter user name and password) if you leave the password box empty and click on cancel it opens Windows Live Mail anyway and what it´s worse... it downloads all your email!! It happens the same when leaving the password box empty and clicking on the close button (the white cross in red background). This is specially worrying for those who´´ve got Windows Live Mail installed at worked.
When I installed Windows Live Mail I set up a password to sign in so I can´t understand what else I need to do to avoid anybody to access my email accounts in such an easy way. I´ve checked with other people I knew they had WLM installed and it happens exactly the same to them.
Can anyone tell me what I should do to avoid this to happen? Many thanks :)
