No e-mail's are secure! Your work isn't safe and at home isn't safe. see when you do anything on the Internet a copy of it is made and sent off into cyberspace and then simply left out there for anyone who knows how to find it and read it sort of like if you walked along the beach and left footprints except those footprints never got washed away, someone can come along and see your footprints and you wouldn't even known it. The hopeful part about all this is that so much information exists already (quad-trillions of footprints) in this cyberspace that the odds of someone finding your footprints for the fun of it is a very hard thing to do but not mathematically impossible or realistically improbable.

Almost not at all, unless you encrypt it, and put some effort into it.
If there is a wireless link anywhere along the line, forget it.
Your Internet provider has access to packets that go by, and if they wanted to look at them, they could.
Your e-mail provider stores your mail for a short time, and maybe as long as they want. Sysadmins and security personnel usually have enough privilege to read any file. The e-mail provider may be filtering all mail looking for terrorist threats or whatever.
The same comments apply to the ISP's and e-mail providers of each of the recipients. All in all, it's nothing I woud trust my life to.

confident. there's a push in direction of digital archives for instantaneous get admission to and saving paper. So, in the event that they meet specific standards of sending them and receiving them securely, which incorporate encryption, it won't be a controversy. X-rays, regardless of if, ought to be despatched with the aid of courier or mail. they could make digital copies, yet they are actually not as totally precise as originals. each and every affected person has to request a pass. in the event that they're your archives and you're actually not gentle with them being despatched with the aid of digital mail. you may request paper copies of your archives (they might charge for the copies and for locating them) and hand carry them to his new place of work.

i personally wouldn't trust any email, work, home, no matter where it is. glitches happen, and if you're not careful they can cost you dearly. for sensitive information, i'd go for other methods of communication. if you can see someone face to face, nothing comes more secure than that.
steer away from sensitive info on emails though, trust me... i know i do...

Not very secure, the company you have your email account with can read and save them if they so desire.

depends on where you are emailing from. if from home and with a good antivirus program... very secure. anywhere else, i'd say not very.

Not at all unless you use an encryption program.
