    Keep email private


    Webmail: use sign in form and browser features to keep email private

    Assuming you have a webmail account from popular email service providers such as Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail, please remember the following points to keep your email private. The email account will remain a secret unless someone peers over your shoulder for which I recommend closing the door.
    • Webmail sign in : There is a 'Remember password' or equivalent feature on the sign in page of all the three popular email services. It lets you conveniently skip the sign in page and go directly to the inbox. Never use this option and ensure it is unchecked when you login.

    • Secure login: At the time of writing, both Gmail and Yahoo!Mail employ https (secure http) for subscriber login; in Hotmail, however, it is not the default - make sure you Use enhanced security when logging in.



    • Sign out each time: Even if you don't use the "Remember password" (or equivalent) feature, I suggest you sign out from your account once your work is done and close the browser window.  Look for signout in yahoo mail and sign out each time you finish.
