I'm worried that my email messages will be read by my abuser. What can I do?
If you are using an email program such as Outlook and your abuser has access to your computer, he or she will easily be able to read your email.
Delete sensitive emails that you send and receive. Remember the second step: after you have deleted a message, go to the Deleted Mail folder in Outlook, highlight the message and delete it again. (Be aware that the message may still reside somewhere on your computer. A trained technician may be able to recover it.)

| If you are worried about the privacy of your email on your home computer, you might want to set up a free email account for yourself on the web. If you set up an account with Hotmail or Yahoo, for example, your email messages will be stored on the Hotmail or Yahoo server instead of your own computer. |

To protect your access to your email account, choose a password that you will be able to remember, but that will be hard for someone else to guess. Do not write down the password; you could write down a clue for yourself to help you remember the password.
