I avoid sending too sensitive data via mail. But there is for example all these websites sending your account password via mail... Also, it is not because my mails sometimes went through a not so secure connection that I want to expose all my mail archive (several years) to yet another more insecure network. (and an open wifi is likely more easily exposed to -or even owned by- pirates). My house (physical) mailbox is not really secure either (and the postman have easy access to my correspondance). But that is not a reason for me to store all my letters (including bank info, password...) with open access to anyone.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
