What is the best bet for securing my email SO NO ONE CAN GET INTO IT BUT ME !

Hey Mconnolly,

That depends on what you are talking about, are you concerned that people are walking by your email and randomly reading it, or are you trying to protect yourself from hackers?

What email program are you currently using?

Looking forward to your reply,

Someone is breaking into my email and reading it. They do not have my password. I am using OE

MC,

I meant, is it a physical person in your office or home breaking in, or someone hacking into your mail?

Unfortuntely... email is inherently insecure. The only way I know of to send truly secure emails is to use an encryption program to encrypt or "code" the message before sending.
Then the person recieving the message must have the same encryption program and a "key" to unlock the message when they receive it. Not very practical for everday use ... otherwise anyone/anywhere between you and the recipient with a 'packet sniffer' can read all they want.

If you are having a problem with a particular account-- why not use one of the many available free web-based accounts

... if you abandon your current account for a while --they will lose interest-- then go back later on, maybe cancel that account (if it's with your ISP) and set up a new one-- with a new email address. There are forwarding services which could 'forward' your emails from the old address to the new one.
