Thanks Curiosity for the warning/word of caution. One of the main reasons why I approved my husband giving it out here (other than the fact that this is a jewish forum), is because I have several email accounts, and my Yahoo account is considered my “trash”/spam account, lol. It used to be my personal email, but then I realized that “naturelover613” didn’t sound very professional on resumes.
It also happens to be the one I use for WoW, hence the real ID thing. You might have wondered why my husband didn’t put his email up for real ID- the reason: his WoW email is his personal one (and not his “trash”/spam email). I think the idea was that, if frum people would real ID me, he can add them as well, in-game.
I get plenty of spam (and probably virus emails) on my yahoo, simply because anything I sign up for on the interwebz, I use my yahoo email. Thankfully, yahoo’s spam filter is pretty amazing, and if something does manage to get through it into my inbox (which is very, VERY rare), I know what to look for in the subject line, and add it to my spam filter (I rarely open my spam, unless it’s one of those “my rich husband passed away and wants to give you $10 million” emails, and just for the laughs, and I absolutely will NEVER click on links in my spam emails). So far, B”H, I haven’t had that email address hijacked- and the only sane way someone would be able to hijack and figure out my password, would be to get a keylogger on my computer-probably by me clicking on the links in my spam emails (which I never do, cuz I’m s-m-r-t). Not to mention, I’m very proud of my complicated passwords, lol. 😀
