Email Security...embedded images?

If I'm trying to catch someone who's checking my email, and I embed an image in an email, and they read it, how will I know "who" it is or will it just tell me that someone else read it? If an IP address is provided, could I get a person's name from that?

not with an imbedded image, but a link to an image will work. with an imbedded image, you send the whole package out and no confirmation will ever be received.


with a link to the image there is a possibility, but the other end gets a little complicated. you need to be in control of the server hosting the image. you can then enable full logging and record anyone who visits the web page containing the email and record the ip address and time they visited. with that information you could find who read your email.

Email security question?

Scenario: User A and User B both have email accounts on the Microsoft Exchange server. They both work for the same organisation and the email accounts are accessable via the web. Their email is not hosted inhouse but outsourced.





User A knows User B's email password. If User A accesses User B's email account, is there any way User B can find out that it was User A that accessed it (ie by contacting IT Support and finding out the IP address's of machines that have accessed their account)?





Thanks
Email security question?
yes, contact the IT department, they should be able to tell you the IP's that have accessed the account recently. (that is assuming thier servers actually log that info. and thier smart enough to find it for you!)

What happened to the security simbol I should see when I enter email? The password is not required either.?

When I switched to the new Yahoo email presentation, the security image I had created no longer appeared. When clicking on "email" the next screen was email and no password was required.


Why?


I feel no security within email.

Sounds like some where along the line it has "remembered" you on that computer and is automatically signing you in. Sign out, and also check your instant messenger settings to signout and not auto log in or remember you. Also your IE settings will remember your passwords and log you in if you don't set them off
Reply:Sign out. Close your internet browser. Open it back up. Go to Yahoo and try again. If it still automatically logs you on, go to your settings. There is an option to require a password. If you share a computer with your family, someone probably saw a box pop up and clicked "Do not ask me this again." I use outlook express for my e-mail and it always shows that message. When I use Yahoo, I have to log in everytime I've logged out and then back in.

I received an email in my bulk folder from my exact email address that I did not send. Security of my address?

I did not send this email to myself. How did this happen? Do I need to change something in my security or what. I am not happy with ability to contact Yahoo or responses from Yahoo - there are none. Someone please advise. Thank you

Spammers use that to get through Yahoo Spam Filters.
