> there's no reliable way to hack into any of the major e-mail providers

I'd argue that the "forgotten password" forms on most major e-mail providers is a trivial way to hack them.

In particular if you can research someone. Like if you can cross-check the e-mail address in google, then find a Facebook, which gives you more info which you can leverage again for yet more...

Obviously unethical and illegal. But reliable.

Hardly reliable, not everyone puts everything on the web/Facespace.

I deleted that paragraph before posting for a reason; you may or may not want to consider that next time.
