Well, what if you're using the Neopets Premium Webmail email address? That's
mailto:yourusername@neopets.com... are you supposed to change that one, too?
HUGE WARNING...never ever ever ever use your premium email address (
mailto:yourusername@neomail.com) as the email account listed to have your password sent to! If someone knows you're Premium, they automatically have your email address to try to get into.
A good friend of mine had her account stolen by doing that. It was a huge hassle, and only because the thief got in through her neomail.com account was Premium support able to help in conjunction with TNT in speedily returning her account (just a few hours). Items had been stolen, pets had been abandoned...you know the deal.
I have no idea how secure neomail.com email is, but it doesn't matter. Even the most secure things are not 100% hackerproof. I never use my neomail.com addy for anything of importance, period.
It's also a good idea to use separate passwords for your neomail.com account and your neopets.com account. Better safe than sorry.
Q, thanks for posting that. I was going to ... but I always fear being known here as the "voice of doom".
A few people have had their accounts taken over via their @ neomail.com email. I would NEVER, ever use the premium webmail as my neo email. It comes in handy if I need to contact another member, but that's all I use it for (and the SHH/space faerie sc). So, that seems to be hotmail and neomail not being great as far as keeping your account secure, and of course, not having the email name be the same as any of your neo account names -- and yes, completely different as long as you can make them gibberish passwords.
