It wouldn't change much, lol. My emails of late have been pretty damn boring. In the last month, my emails have been pretty much limited to:
-Lesson plans
-AJET updates about upcoming events (like the Christmas party) and travel opportunities
-Notifications from websites I get email notifications from (Facebook, etc)
-Flight itineraries
-Deals and advertisements from Dell, Victoria's Secret, and Sam's Club, none of which I can use since I don't live in the US
-Survey solicitation ("Amy, take our survey and receive $5.00 in rewards from Delta SkyMiles!")
-Longitudinal survey about the relationship between pop culture and personal relationships
-A couple personal emails from my mom, Lisa, and Robert. Mostly contain links to YouTube videos, and the rest are just small, predictable notes between parent/child, friend/friend, and boyfriend/girlfriend.
There's nothing juicy about any of it, I promise you. Most of it isn't even personal. One of my best girlfriends might roll her eyes at how often Robert and I send each other soppy emails, but it's nothing they would be surprised to read. And as the juiciest stuff would be written by Robert himself the most he can really glean from its presence is thinking it's cute that I've saved it :-P
As for the act of reading my email itself-- while I would prefer permission be asked first, I really don't make that big a deal out of privacy so I think I'd forgive it pretty easily. (Plus, like I said, I don't have anything to hide!). It would not bother me for Robert (or Lisa, or Tiffany, or Jessica, or Brandy) to have the password to my email. On a couple occasions, I have given out a password to these people, and since I seldom change them and often use the same passwords (or only slight variations) for many sites they probably could still hack it if they wanted to. Now, I avoided giving Henry the password to my computer in college, but that was just because he would fuck around with the settings on my programs and download shit I didn't want or need, not because I was afraid he'd read my private bizz-nass. Frankly, someone messing with my settings or potentially deleting material freaks me out a hell of a lot more than simply reading it.
