"You should start thinking of security for your email as roughly equivalent to the sort of security you'd want on your bank account. It's exceedingly close to that in practice." Actually, I want (and arguably already have) better than that. In the last 4 months I have had two unauthorized debits from my bank accounts: one a result of a mail thief stealing my rent check from my mailbox, the other an error made by a bank employee. In the 15 years I've been using email I've never knowingly had any of my email accounts hacked.
