The spammers get hold of your address and contacts
and send all their rubbish.
The way to avoid this is to send to multiple contacts
by the Bcc function as it keeps your contacts list safe
and private.

To get tha function
On the TO line at the end click on Use Bcc
then use as normal.

Google "how to secure my email" and do a lot of reading.

Use at least 8 characters for your password and never use a dictionary word as your password. Always use random upper/lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.

I use a SSL encrypted connection and have never had a problem. I do not like the online e-mail clients, I use Thunderbird or another off line client. All I can suggest is to Google and do a lot of reading...... check my signature.. :)
