Personally, I never ever give my email credentials out. I totally agree with Jeff Atwood on that.

However, while you're at it, why not ask people for their facebooks/myspace credentials? You'll find many more "friends" there than in my email contacts, plus facebook is far less sensitive privacy-wise. If someone got hold of my credentials, the maximum they could do is deface my profile and send some stupid messages to friends. If they got hold of my gmail account, they could access almost every other account that I have through "forgot your password" links...

Not that I'd actually give you my facebook credentials though :)

Thats definitely a good point. Waiting for facebook connect :)
