Virtually all webmail traffic is HTTPS - hence a snooper (presumably!) 
cannot determine which account is being accessed, nor who is being emailed.

So if a nest of mice all get hotmail/yahoo/google email accounts, they 
would seem to be in a strong position.

The only way to get the info above is to ask hotmail etc.
