Almost every time you logon it asks for your email password. That's right.
The password to your email account.
Well ... since I host my own mail server, the password to my
e-mail is the password to my account (which they could not access
remotely anyway), and there is no chance that I would give them such
information.
And -- there is also no chance that I can *see* that I would
want an account on LinkedIn anyway. :-)
FaceBook wants your e-mail password too -- with the excuse that
it allows them to identify your friends already on FaceBook. They don't
get *that* either. :-)
Neither service asks for your e-mail password.
