 Re: Outed
I agree with a lot of the comments posted above. However, one more piece of advice....
1. Keep personal (banking, professional, friends, etc) and absolute personal (swinging, etc) email addresses separate. That way, the only stuff which accidently falls in your friends hands could be your personal emails, and no one can give you grief about it.
2. Use IMAP / POP to download emails to a mail client (MS-Outlook, etc) so only your inbox is accessible by someone else.
3. Change security settings on your mail server to log off on inactivity (if possible)
4.Remember to always log-off from what ever sites you have logged into. The reason, being you can't trust the security features of someone else's computer (however close you may be with them/him/her). Your personal information can be gathered from cookies and temporary files left behind on other computers and this would lead to a lot more issues than being embarrassed about your friend learning about your personal life.
Keep faith and confidence. Confront your friend and either plead innocence (say spam, hack, etc - dunno who would buy it) or tell your friend, that it is your life, and you have absolute right over it. No one should be doing moral policing.
But again, since I don't know you nor your friend, my latter portion of the advice is not truly useful. But separate your email addresses and you should be ok in the future.
