never send this type of info to free email accounts (i would send them to any personally)...hotmail, gmail, etc are prime targets for hackers. they've been broken into more than any other type of web service...why because it's hard to plug all the possible security holes. email is the biggest source of viruses, etc than anything on the 'net. the issue is not with the email service provider but with being hacked.
