if someone dies, is te family allowed to readl the deceased email, ie yahoo, hotmaill, etc? and how?

I think so. I had a penpal for a couple of months, a really neat guy, and suddenly he stopped writing. I sent him one final confused and desperate letter, and his sister repsonded a short time latter. She told me the guy had killed him self. I was shocked, I never saw it coming. How she got into his mail, I've no idea, but I was glad to know what happened, even though I was deeply sad about his death. Sorry for your loss...

Well, email is very private. You might learn things he didn't want you to learn. I know I personally would rather my family didn't read my email if something happened to me. I mean what would they really get from it? In the end I guess it just depends on how close you all were and how private he was. What I am trying to say is that it is a personal call.

no, remember the story about that soldier who died in Iraq, his wife and family wanted hid email from yahoo, they hat to go to court

im sorry about the death

b4 u read the email ask ur ask urself this question~ would he want u 2???

if yes...read the email

if no...dont read the email

Of course it is allowed.. its not like the dead is going to put a curse on anyone.

i wouldnt..its really none of your business..just cause he is dead doesnt give you the authority to read his mail..would you do it if he was alive?

Sure, if they have the password. Otherwise, I doubt it.

first you have to know there user name and password

no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you should go in to other peoples thing even he/she die

only if they said something about letting you doing anything with it
