Theoritically, no one can access your email. But there are bad people who can crack passwords in any emails not just yahoo.

Not really. People can have multiple email addresses either under their real name or an anonymous one. The only way to know for sure who an email address belongs to is to subpoena the records of the ISP (internet service provider).

Yes, I think so.  It may depend on the email service you use, but I've never had a problem with this, and I have used three different services in my time.  Anybody find a result to the contrary?

Yes, you can report them.\n\nSince they are in Africa, and the Governments in the countries the use are corrupt, there isn't much the legal authorities can do. \n\nWith these type of Emails the threat of Virus or other Malware isn't very high. They want your money, not to infect you computer.\n\nIf you have Yahoo Mail with the Address Block the simply copy their email address and add it to the block. When it bounces the next one, it will tell them your address doesn't exist anymore. If you don't have this in your Yahoo mail, then Outlook Express has a Bounce Back feature that works the same.

Technically no according to Yahoo, \nI have heard of programs that get around it somehow.  Yahoo, wants you to PAY for the premium email service, which does allow you to use your POP mail in Outlook Express.  Or else you have another TSA running to serve Yahoo in Outlook Express.\nMay as well set up a Hotmail account, which obviously does allow it.  Also, I think http://www.gmail.com allows it as well.  Gmail is a google promoted email site, with a tremenduous amount of free storage.  I really like the interface.  It is fast, and easy to use.\n\nGreat thing about gmail as well, is they are limiting the amount of accounts which will keep it from being mis used by bots and email spammers.

I agree with the first two answers.  However, it may have nothing to do with your computer.  There are several attackers who capture your email address from another location, and use it to send email by using your email address as the source.  There is really nothing you can do about this scenario.

Illegal sites, yes and that doesn't guarantee you won't get viruses. Anything you download or receive as attachments in email can contain all kinds of things that can harm your computer.

You should not be able to pass virues with Yahoo email.  yahoo has it's own virus protection and checks attachment before you are allowed to download them into your computer.

If you get caught trying to bypass the access control, you will probably get fired, and maybe prosecuted for tampering with the company computer system.\n\nA second thought, if you are on good terms with the I.T. guy in your office, tell him your problem and ask him to  pull your Yahoo email for you, and hopefully, the powers that be won't know about it.\n\nIt will not look suspicious if he pulls the email for you, unless it is something company related that can get you in trouble.  In that case, chalk it up to experience and NEVER use the computer for PERSONAL USE - I thought everyone knew that by now!  It can kick you in the butt at the wrong time.\n\nThe I.T. guy in my office alerted me that "they read incoming/outgoing email."  \n\nHe warned me because I sent a resume from the office.  It wasn't for me, for one of the guys in the mailroom, who didn't know how to type a resume.  The I.T guy took me to the server room and showed me what he was talking about, wow, it's amazing, looking at personal email, a real eye opener.  From then on I used my home 'puter!  \n\nGood luck.

it is possible. all you have to do is create a distribution list with names of people you want to send email to.\n\nThe name for this varies: in yahoo it is distribution list, in Eudora mail it is recipient etc.\nThis will be in the compose section of the email you use.\n\nThen while sending email all you have to do is add this list in BCC field. \n\nBCC- blind carbon copy-- you can put all the  email addys of the world and no one will  know if the someone else has received the same email unless indicated in the email msg.\n\nCC - Carbon copy--here everyone sees the others email included.\n\n---------------------------------------------------\n\nWhich email programe are you using? If you can add that then i can be more specific....

msn messenger can be troublesome at times, i find the new live version is better than previous ones for singing in with no trouble.\ni would suggest changing password if you are worried about someone else getting into your email.
