I hope this is the right area of the forum to post this.
I use yahoo.com email and have for several years. I'm no guru with computer stuff and mainly just like to experiment with the mechanics of PC hardware ect. But I do have some stuff on my yahoo email saved folders that I don't really want viewed by just anyone. Lately I've noticed when I'm logged into yahoo mail the little circle looking thing in Vista that goes round and round when internet activity is processing just never quits going round and round. I don't know specifically what this means but I don't feel like Yahoo mail is secure as what I would like.
A few years back I used Outlook Express as my email program with settings provided by my ISP (bellsouth.net) . All the messages, folders ect were saved on my PC rather than on the web.
!st question is - is the pc based email, rather than web based, more secure?
2nd - why is the activity thing showing constant activity when I'm logged onto yahoo mail?|
3rd - I live in a separated half of a large house and my land lord just switched our ISP from DSL to cable. I don't really know exactly when I first noticed this problem but I don't think the ISP change was the culprit, I believe I noticed it before that change.
4th - If I change to pc based email account, how is the best way to transfer all my yahoo mail account saved folders to either my hardrive or my pc based folders?
Sorry for so many questions but this is the place I get the best help.
Thanks to everyone at CHP for that.
