Is E-Mail Private?

0

No. E-mail is never confidential. Without encryption, the possibility exists that e-mail can be accessed and read by others. Your recipient can forward it to others. Do not send anything that you would not mind reading about on the front page of your local newspaper. Back to Top Reading And Composing E-Mail Offline It is a good practice to log onto the Internet, retrieve your mail, and then log off. Your mail is available for you to read when you are offline. You may also respond to your mail or write new mail while you are offline. Then log on to send your e-mail.

Although some email software allows the use of encryption (so only you and your addressee can read its contents), most e-mail can be intercepted and read as they make their way across the Internet. Think of an e-mail as if it were a post-card with its text in plain view.
