Need A Safe Email [+Rep]

[Mint]

I've been hacked via email so many times now so my new email needs to be a really safe one and free ofcoarse. Not 'live' or 'hotmail' because they are crap. I will do some research on any of the ones you can tell me and if they seem good I will give you your huge 2 points rep. :)

hotmail is pretty secure, to get the password recovered you need to give: country, postcode, and then answer the secret question. It even blocks access if you guess wrong 5 times. If you keep getting hacked by e-mail maybe think about what mail you open and what attatchemnts you download.

maybe you even have a keylogger on your computer?

Having a keylogger isn't my problem because I'm fully restroing my computer before I make me new Habbo account and new email.

And I am considering google mail. :)

Live is secure, it's just people who download crap and keyloggers or accept people who they don't know and they get your account details. If you know basic internet safety then Live is secure however if you don't, no email service is secure to you.

One of my best mates on Habbo told me he was a hacker, he also said that hotmail and live isn't secure. He never told me what I should use though..... :$

Live is secure - more secure than any other email service provider out there it's just the fact you don't know how to keep safe by the sounds of things.

Just make a totally separate email for your Habbo Account, thats what I have done. No one will be able to guess the email, and if I did get key logged, the only reasons I would enter the email would be because:
- I signed up to another account.
- I got hacked therefore they wouldn't need the email.

I quite like aol :)

Are you saying I am a computer geek? It makes a lot of sense not to download crap you don't know what it is and not to accept contacts that you don't know who they are. It doesn't take a genius so stop being so judgemental yeah?

[Coheed&Cambria]

You dont need to be a computer geek to know how to keep your computer secure..

You don't have to be a computer geek to be able to keep an account safe..

Mhmm, it's more like you need to be reeeeally stupid to get hacked in most cases :rolleyes:

Ever since Hotmail made you enter Post Code on forgotten password it's a lot safer. On Google Mail you still have to only answer the question. There is nothing wrong with Hotmail anymore, and it has a bad reputation because before it was easier to hack and considering it was one of the most popular email providers there was a good chance of it being Hotmail if someone had their email hacked. But if you still don't want Hotmail then Google Mail will suffice.

All the geeks never get hacked but I do. :( And whoever said something about the post code thing, is it true?

[Mr.Sam]

email is only as safe as you make it.

Yes it's true, why would I lie? :S

[Moktekichi]

Gmail/Google Mail is pretty good.

Though I agree with whoever mentioned making a completely seperate email for things.

I have one email that I use for anything I really don't want people to get into and that I don't have to enter the email to get into.

[Invent]

All 'mainstream' email providers are secure & safe. It's only you that makes your email unsecure.

[Mint]

My problem is sorted now, I asked somebody at my mums work and they said google is the safest free email. Thanks everyone! :)

Why don't you use the e-mail account your ISP gave you?
