Postmortem Email Rights at Yahoo!
What do you think? Would you want family to have access to your email history or would you want it locked up until it was deleted after inactivity?
Posted by languorous at December 21, 2004 02:17 PMTough one, but I must side with Yahoo!. Perhaps if a client left his password to his family in his will... other than that, binding contracts are hard to break when you're dead.
Posted by: Robb at December 21, 2004 08:22 PMGood question, but I think I would want my family to have access. The only reason I would not want them to read my emails is if I had information written in them that would somehow alter their perception of me. However, I do not think this is the case. I would want them to read my emails in order to learn more about who I was.
