can employers monitor yahoo!mail?

If you are using it at work, yes. they can look at any pages that was on a company computer/ server they can view and it is a legal right. What they cannot do is access your personal mail by hacking it or gaining your password.

yahoo has one also that will alert you as well as outlook express. Yahoo messenger can do it if its running but the outlook you have to leave open all the time otherwise it doesn't notify you

One that you may be familiar with - is email private?  Not at work (your boss is legally allowed to look at your emails on his business machinery because he is legally responsible for their content).  How 'bout at home?  A court order can allow anyone to look at them (to the extent of the court order).  Are your telephone conversations private?  Is messaging private?  If you work for the phone company and have the knowledge and means to eavesdrop, should you?  Suppose you overheard something to your advantage such as a stock tip?  If you're the engineer, should you leave a 'back-door' into the network for later use?  Basically, don't do something that you wouldn't feel comfortable defending in front of a judge.

I use yahoo mail for my non-work email (particularly\nwhen I want to include my email address in something\nlike an externally published paper -- where it will become\nfodder for email-address-collecting bots).  Anyway, Yahoo\nemail does a great job of filtering out the spam.\n\nIf some spam occasionally slips through the filter,\nI mark it as "spam", and the filter learns to \nhandle it correctly.  I also check my "bulk" email\nfolder (where spam is re-directed) to check for\nfalse-positives.  When I first started, I found\na few *good* emails incorrectly categorized, so\nI marked them as "not spam", and the filter learned\nto recognize them as valuable.  After the first couple\nof weeks, I haven't found any more false-positives.

This can be done through email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook. This option is known as READ RECEIPT...\n\nRead Receipt is a script that is attached to emails when being sent, and, in some cases, may be detected by antiviruses as "Suspecious Messages" due to the presence of the script - although its safe...\n\nAlso, please note that there are other conditions to be fullfiled for this service to work:\n- the person you are sending this email to must be accessing his/her email through a mail client [that supports this feature - and most mail clients released from 2003 onwards do support it] and not through a webmail like Yahoo! Web Mail, but like Yahoo! POP Mail;\n- if the person is using the message you sent, he/she gets notified by the mail client that you requested a Read Receipt, and the user can either accept or reject to send the receipt...\n\nIf the user accepts to send, then you receive an email indicating the name of hte user that read the message with a Date/Time Stammp of viewing...\n\nIf hte person rejects to send, then he/she reasds the message and you never receive a Read Receipt, and never know if the email was viewed or not...\n\nHope this answers your question...

Yes, they can.  All that they would need is a simple packet sniffing program like etherreal and it will automatically re-assemble the packets, so they could read whatever gets sent over their internet connection.  They could als use a program like cain and abel, which will sniff passwords and usernames.\n\nThey could see anything from the websites you visit (whatever they may be) to programs like outlook and outlook express when you send and receive e-mail.\n\nUnless you are viewing a secure page, indicated by a picture of a padlock in the corner of your browser, anything you do can (and potentially will) be seen by your IT department.\n\nthere are ways around this so that the IT guys wont see whats going on, but it gets a little complicated.\n\nIncluded as sources are 2 links to get email and inernet access without them being able to see you.\n\nFor more information, post another question asking about VPN and how to implement it, or email me at Madh2orat@yahoo.com

If it is a work email address then most likely yes. with most work emails they use a program that logs all incoming and outgoing emails. So when your sent the email the work server can basically make a copy of it and then send a copy to you.\n\nIf you are using an email account like @yahoo or @hotmail etc it should be fine. As long as you log in from the yahoo or hotmail website it should be fine. You would then also need to delete the temporary Internet files (just to be safe).

No. Unless you are the hosting server or a hacker or a government official for the Internal Security Act\n\nIf you are a hacker, you have full access. If you host yahoo or google or microsoft, under special permission you can view those. If you are an official under the ISA monitoring the e mails of people to detect suspicious activity, you can have access to them.

If your e-mail contained a threat or insinuated blackmail, your company could go to the police. The police would go to Yahoo! to find out the ip address and isp that the account was made on. The police would then have to go to the ISP and get them to find you, etc. It would be a long process and not worth it unless there were some legal issue.\n\nI had a similar situation. I sent the parties involved an e-mail through CNN's "e-mail this article to a friend" feature. I told them that people knew and thought it was inappropriate and that I hoped they'd do what was right for the company and find new jobs. They both did within 2 months.

Not really. All that you can do is ensure that there is nothing publicly available for your employer to discover. For example, be very aware that if you have a Blog, post on popular message boards, or have ever used the Usenet, that your employer can, and likely will read what you've posted there.\n\nAs someone who has hired others, you'd be surprised at what personal stuff people actually encourage you to look at. I had one person who sent in her "Gothic Fetish" website as an example for the position of writing for a children's magazine.\n\nNote that your private information is basically off limits to an employer, and that your employer can not choose not to hire you due to age, gender, race or religion.

there are probably yahoo workers on it NOW.\n\nBut as long as they don't report and violate people at will I guess it's ok.

The only thing that could possibly help would be to not allow any personal e-mails at all from the business e-mail address.  It would still be kind of hard to enforce without monitoring though.  You could "spot check" or just tell the employees you will be spot checking, and not actually do it.

You can if you use outlook for netscape mail. It cannot be done on the web side if you check your emails through the browser.\n\nIf you set up outlook or netscape mail to receive messages, you can set an alert for it.

This is one of those questions that are difficult to answer without specifics. Type of e-mail program, what attachments, are you at work (behind a firewall), etc.
