Or how can i protect my ID. please help me !?
1.) Have it over 10 characters. The time that it takes to crack an 8 character password compared to a 10 character one is a span of over 100 years.
2.) Have numbers, letters, and symbols. Most people's accounts are hacked because they use passwords like "cheesepuppet" or something even worse, like "basketball". Try for passwords like "[[Tyier143]]". They aren't that hard to remember. If you play piano, you'll be happy to know, that if you "practice" your password hard enough, you don't even need to remember what it is. (By the way, none of these passwords are mine, so don't try them, because they won't work).
3.) Don't tell your password to anyone. Don't ever use the same password for everything you register (I certainly don't do that). If you have trouble remembering each password, make a "password formula". For example, Trap17 has the numbers 17 in it. You can make your forum password something like "17Trap||" and your Myspace password like "Sp4ceMy||".
4.) Remember that your secret question can be the one used to unlock your password, no matter what your password is. For example, if the question is "What is your favorite sport" and your email is "luvbasketba11@hotmail.com", it's obvious that the answer is "basketball". If you are sure you will never forget your password, make up your answer. For example "What is the last 4 digits of your credit card?" Answer: "2kj19u9{};1*&kj7ahu82(*&&^".
5.) Always make an alternative email, so that you can use it to unlock your current one.
I would be so scared if that happened to me too. I for one, didn't think that it would be possible, until I read the part about that email you got. I was just thinking that maybe the system was down or something like that, but then how do you explain that email? A big coincidence? It would have to be one of the biggest coincidences known to man. Sure, it would be possible, but I somehow doubt that it was a coincidence.
Be sure to change your password right away, and I'm not sure if you can change your 'lost password' question, but if you can, you might want to look at that too. Because I never thought about that before a read the reponse. Thanks for all those tips.
By the way why do you use hotmail? I find it evil.
Agreed, I find it strange how the people at MSN have made a good stab at creating a monopoly out of their "wonderful" (cough) products - both messenger and hotmail... could rant and rave for ages bout that...
But anyways, I would say that the best alternative to Hotmail is Gmail, though you doo need an invitation - and I understand that it is hard to change usernames - getting everybody else to update, and so on. I would say make a Gmail account and tell new people the Gmail address instead. In my experience you just gradually switch to a Gmail-loving person
I would suggest that you change your hotmail password as soon as you can, and if possible, move your email account to a different host, your name probably won't be taken. After you have created a new account, change all your newsletters if you subscribe to any to your new account, and update all of your frequent website accounts to the new email, it will be like you never left.
Alot of websites have more features than hotmail, and offer more space.
I strongly reccommend Gmail if you want space. 1G+ for each email account is alot.
Free web based email ---

Hi buddy i read out your post and i can understand your feelings because in my opinion you are a new user to the internet. Buddy , i can't say any thing about that annynimous mail that you have got because it may beone of your friends try to make you fool. But let you tell one thing that your ID might be frozen . I was just having the same problem but i just handeled this problem quite easily . Infact , i am not going to write here that how your ID would be frozen and how you can De-Freeze it because that might be the VOILATION OF the Trap17 rules. So bussy you can direcly got in touched me i will try to help you . But in my opinion dear you should try Gmail ' because it is more Secure and Reliable than any mail service. Hotmail is not as secure and reliable as Gmail and if you use gmail you wil never ever have such sort of dammn Problems. Greets
Innocent-Devil, I don't agree with the last sentence of yours: ''if you use gmail you wil never ever have such sort of dammn Problems'' because if someone knows how to hack than he can hack any email including an email hosted by Gmail. My friend is a very smart hacker he told me that. Also he learned me how to freeze accounts but , honestley, I never used it and I never hacked to anyones email. So good-baby don't feel afraid you are not alone. The only thing you can do is to stick with Dooga's Advices, she really gived the most important precautions you can get ot avoid being hacked again.
I hope you find this post useful, if you're using hotmail.
There have been many exploits on hotmail, I was reading about a few last saturday or sunday. Really, if you want to keep your email, just move to another provider, If needed, I will send you a gmail invitation, or even more if you want to invite your friends or family.
I really feel more secure with gmail, no more annoying ads or safety glitches, I let the professionals do the work for me.
If you need a gmail invitation, send me an email to robert.isoskiNOSPAM@gmail.com and remove the NOSPAM.
While Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, all offer an unneccessary amount of space in the email, it is still wise for most people to delete email (or archive it and burn it onto a CD or some offline removable storage device) so that even if your email password got changed, you can still change all the passwords and emails of the services you use online. Without extra email in your account, it is less likely for people who know you less to find out what kind of forums you register in, what kind of services you use. Most services have a "forgot password" feature, but if you change your email in time, everything is fine.
A good email would be your ISP's email, provided that you won't suddenly change your ISP. A paid hotmail account will also work, since they can personally identify you.
He probably has figured out your password. Just change your email address and make it a nice strong one. Or, if you don't like Hotmail, you can try a different free email service.
Hotmail IS NOT secure in the slightest. a *relatively* close school district had their administrations hotmail accounts hacked repeatedly by a co-worker. BTW there are scripts online for all you little script kitties to play with that will allow access. I do not support any action of the sort nor the "frozen" account thing. Seriously it's not that hard to get into ANY hotmail account and you should move to a better service
sounds like maybe afriend jacking with you or maybe an ex girlfriend

i have friend and he ask me today why after he opened free yahoo email account with .com extension,
dont have a pop3 server to send and receive e-mails? I have account with .es and can configure a
free pop3 server....
I was wondering if any of you guys knew of any good pop email clients. I recently signed up for a
pop client, but I was wondering what the best client was. People say Outlook is full of bugs and
freezes constantly. I am told that open source is the way to go. I'm not familiar with any open
source pop clients. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. I am running

I was happily browsing the web so I decided to check my Yahoo! email. I got like 4 emails that
were bounced back by Mail-Daemon. Apparently, I had tried to send this spam mail to some MSN
groups!? It was bounced back to me because I had to be a member of that group to send emails.

Look at that, scammers, trying to make some "cash". Whenever you get an email sent like this,
it's scam for sure. I didn't even sign up for anything, or gave my e-mail away, and I get a

Email Clients
- Which One Do You Trust For Security? (23)
Many people don't care about email account security and just go for a Hotmail account because
it's automatically MSN compatible or a Gmail account because it has lots of space. But out of
those of you who choose your email based on safetey and security, which client do you recommend?
There are tons out there. Personally, I use GMX.net, it's a German service with extremely high
security. They have a password meter to check your password for how easy or hard it might be to
guess, encouraging you to use upper and lower case letters along with numbers. They veri...
