said by rcdailey:Although I have a Yahoo mail account, I download all mail and delete it on the server automatically. I also go to the web interface and erase the spam that is collected. However, I know that some people live out of their webmail accounts and don't want to delete all the mail on the server. It's possible to use a complex password, but then you have to be able to remember and type in that complex password each time. That part isn't so easy, but if you save the login to automate the process, that is another security issue.
The thing that is surprising to me is how high-level officials (like VP candidates) are not briefed on security issues such as this, whether it be through campaign people or law-enforcement.
