What's the best secure email provider?

so he'd have to have hacked into them all to get 100% of the data.

Or he's just using a keylogger.

Without wanting to tread over any sensitive lines here, but it would seem the real solution to this problem is a non-technical problem.
It doesn't seem normal for this sort of mistrust to be rearing its head in relationships. Is there any sort of way of addressing the issue thats causing your need for secure email?

Sorry if this is a bit personal, I just think sometimes a cure is better than what a short term remedy would give you. If he isn't able to hijack your emails, what does he spy on next. where does it end?

It was originally an idea put into my head by a friend, after I commented to her that he seemed to know a bit more about my friends than I recall ever mentioning to him. Either he's good at guesswork & highly intuitive (!).. or......

To be honest, I just don't know, which is why I needed a bit of pc advice from you guys.

than you recall

some people have a better memory than others
some people are genuinely interested in what is happening in their partners lives

There's been 'silly' little things, such as him using a phrase which I only ever use when chatting online to my best mate... something I've never heard him say before.
The fact I know he's good with computers.
The fact I once found spyarsenal on my pc (couldn't prove how it got there). I obviously removed it!
Him asking about a friend's relationship (out of the blue) when she'd just broken up with the chap, and I hadn't mentioned it.
However, I can't say for sure he's doing it....

& your the only person in the world to ever use that phrase, & you only ever use it online with one person?

if he's your partner, & knows your friends, why is asking how they are such an issue?



if theres nothing going on, what message are you sending by suddenly hiding everything?

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I got.....

Many of my online friends are people he's never met.... including people I knew many years ago and have recently reappeared due to Facebook.....

When you live with someone you know their everyday language, and when they start to use phrases which they've never used before, especially when they're phrases used many years ago between myself and my old friends (phrases I no longer use in everyday language), it makes you wonder why they suddenly used those words. Especially when your mate used the phrase in an email to you less than an hour earlier!

Also, I never got to the bottom of the whole spyarsenal episode.

There was also an incident while on holiday abroad, which I just remembered. My yahoo account was accessed by someone who'd known or guessed my password, and my emails were read. Long story short (!) yahoo found that a mobile device had been used to log into yahoo, on an 02 mobile phone (although they could not provide any further info such as the mobile phone number).
Guess what network my OH uses on his phone?

Coincidence....? Maybe......

Given how few networks there are, and how many customers O2 in particular have, there's a good chance of any random person being an O2 customer.

You really come across as paranoid. Confront him about it, see what he says.

Anyway conspiracy theories aside i'd suggest OP makes themselves reasonably secure so whether anything untoward was happening or not they can have a bit of piece of mind and move on

if there are relationship cracks no doubt they'll find some other outlet to show themselves.... if it was just a bit of paranoia then hopefully a little security boost will allay that and both sides can move forward in a positive direction.

either way, all anyone on here will be able to achieve is uninformed speculation... possibly descending into a fight...

But if she uses HTTPS for her webmail, he might as well be reading Swahili :rotfl:

Of Course, if he is *really* smart he could drop a proxy in, use renegotiation and beat that too!

When all else fails, you can drop back to using old fashioned codes at each end :-) Fbzrgvzrf vg'f gur fvzcyr guvatf gung xrrc abfrl o*tt*ef bhg!

What does it mean - 'use old fashioned codes at each end'?
Does this simply mean the first line of an email and the last line can just be gobbledegook, and that'd prevent unencryption?

all they would be able to tell is that it was an O2 issued number
if it had been ported to another network, it still relates back to an O2 block of numbers

The times the emails were accessed matched times when he was alone with his mobile (and whoever did it had guessed my password too).

Without hard evidence it's hard to ask someone "Are you spying on me"?
They'll say 'no' if they are the same as if they aren't.

As JasX has already pointed out, all I can do is attempt to ensure my pc is as secure as I can possibly make it, so I can move on from this particular episode...

I've learnt a LOT about computer stuff over the past 24 hours from you guys.... much more than I ever imagined. For that, I'm HUGELY grateful

It's more likely that the intruded was identified by IP address as being an O2 customer.
