Mail passes from public mail server to mail server (many times, often many countries) all in clear text. Using HTTPS (encrypted tunnel between your PC and your ISP's server),as Emily has done, reduces significantly the risk of snooping but doesn't remove all risk. Staff at your ISP can easily look at email contents, as can those in intervening relay servers or those "sniffing the wire" between servers (government agencies most like). If the Google bots serving ads cause a worry sign up for a premium ad-free Google App account ($50 per year).<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667984752324216670.post-39992126160536035762009-06-04T12:30:00.799+01:002009-06-04T12:30:00.799+01:00Hi Caroline,

Could you use a pop3 Outlook/similar instead?<br /><br />CarolineCarolinehttp://www.virtuallysorted.comnoreply@blogger.com
