I won't have an AOL email account as they are too easily hacked by spammers. At least that's been the situation in past when I tried to deal with them. I'm not going with Yahoo mail either as it's not secure enough. What are some other email providers to avoid?

And, people still use AOL email? I didn't even know that site was still around. Weren't they one of the first internet service providers online?

Maybe it's not the email provider so much as your computer that is not secure. If you have a keylogger, that person can get access to your email very easily. You should scan your computer regularly.

Temporary addresses are not good to use for important email as you will lose access to the account very quickly. If you sign up to an important site, only do so with your primary email address so you will always have a way to contact them if you need a password reset.

Anytime you use an easily guessed password you put your accounts in jeopardy of being hacked or accessed by a stranger. So the answer might be any account is easily breached if you don't take care with your password.

The MSN is not very secure, but it's required if you want to login to your Windows 8.1 computer. That's the only reason that I use the email for MSN now.
