[quote="Kops"]^ Heh. Yahoo AND Hotmail locked me out of my old emails simply because of a location change, and I've never been able to get into them since because the latter needed me to access the former... which was also locked. Seriously?
God, I despise all those ridiculous security measures some email providers have now that seem to want to protect you from even your own self. I just don't get why the average person would need so much protection from a potential hacker/hijacker because that has never ever happened to me or anyone I know, all they manage to be is an irritating nuisance.
Haven't had a problem with Gmail yet either so I guess that's fine.[/quote]
You can change your account security settings on most services. And besides, within the past 3 years, two of my accounts were attempted to be hacked by some people in Russia, so I actually opted to have increased security on all my accounts.
