eMail Privacy

eMail privacy, without some security precautions, can be compromised because:
  • eMail messages are generally not encrypted

  • eMail messages have to go through intermediate computers before reaching their destination, meaning it is relatively easy for others to intercept and read messages.

  • Many Internet Service Providers (ISP) store copies of your eMail messages on their mail servers before they are elivered. The backups of these can remain up to several months on their server, even if you delete them in your mailbox.
