I visited a friend and checked my 7 Hotmail accounts from her computer using
www.hotmail.com to access them, yesterday when she went to use her Outlook
Express email for the first time since I was there it downloaded all my
inboxes onto her hard drive, now she can read all my messages sent and
received, years worth since there are at least 6000 in her hard drive.
Neither of us changed any settings to cause this to happen and I sure did not
want my personal emails on someone elses computer...and I have never even
used Outlook Express...so here's the question, how does she get rid of them
without deleting them from my inboxes and how will I know she is not
constantly downloading new ones in the future...AND how did this happen!!?? I

You did it
on the web login page for hotmail are three radio buttons

[ ] Save my e-mail address and password
[ ] Save my e-mail address
[x] Always ask for my e-mail address and password

You did not put check in the last position, but left it in the default
remember address & password
read the instructions

change your hotmail password

1)Someone must have configured Outlook Express to receive these mails.
2)If you have never accessed your Hotmail accounts via Outlook Express
before now, whether on her machine or yours, and unless all are paid
accounts, you couldn't have set OE up to receive the Hotmail messages.
So.....
3) These mails are NOT in Outlook Express?
4) OE only mirrors what is on the Hotmail site. If you delete them from
OE, then they are gone from Hotmail.

Have you witnessed this in person? Pretty hard to believe the messages have
been downloaded to and are accessible in OE. IE, maybe, but...
