E-mails

I read this article the other day and it put me thinking. While I can commend Yahoo's privacy policy, and their willingness to stick by it in even the most extreme circumstances, I still think they should give the family access to their dead son's e-mail account before it gets deleted after not being used for 30 days. While this is being resolved, I hope Yahoo have at least made a backup of the e-mails because it would be terrible for it to be deleted before they resolve the situaion.

Having had experience of losing a family member, I can understand fully how being denied access to your loved one's final thoughts would be really upsetting.
