There's a checkbox when you make your API key that allows or disallows your mail to be read through the API key.

You are responsible for what information you allow people who possess your API keys to view.

A) Find a new corp.

or

B) Start using e-mail as a means to manipulate those that might read them.

You're missing the point... If it's "standard" to give full access everyone will require it... So if you want into any corp that's worth a damn you have to do what is "STANDARD" which means allow full invasions of privacy... CCP is the only group that can change this.. Mail access needs to no longer be possible.... It's the only way.

If someone is a spy they can use a different account and this access won't do any good anyways... This doesn't help. It only hurts peoples ability to enjoy the game. The types of people that demand this level of control are not the types of people it should be given too.... Yet narcissists always end up at the top because it's what they do naturally. They see a ladder, they must climb it.

Seriously? Only use mail as a means of manipulating? Should someone really have to make that choice... How about mail being private without anyone else being able to read it at all ever? That's how mail should be...

Make a private chat chan and *** cyber in there instead?

I wouldn't mind seeing this argument tried on wormhole corps.

I've had friends tell me they can't talk to me anymore because the heads of their corps are reading through their emails to make sure they're not doing anything they don't like... This is screwed up... I really think it's time that API keys went away or were limited so that it's not possible for emails and private conversations to be monitored. If it's possible it will be expected. If people don't enjoy the game because they have no privacy they may not continue playing. I think it's best for everyone if the controlling pricks that insist on invading everyone's privacy had that ability taken away. Let private conversations remain private for everyone...

I joined a WH corp a few weeks ago and this is something i asked if it was "necessary" to include my mail as i had some personal info in some of the mails. I was told it was and that if i didn't include the mail in the API my application would be rejected.

Granted i thought it a bit crap, but i didn't come to the forum to cry about it, i deleted any mails that i deemed had a personal nature to either myself or other pilots, created a new API, waited 30 minutes for it to kick in then submitted my application.

If you have mail you don't want your corp reading, then simply delete it, unless your a spy i don't see how this is an "issue" for you or anyone else at all and your just crying for the sake of the attention you seem to not get.

Getting rid of being able to view other peoples mails is the stupidest thing you have said because it would just make spying way more easy for everyone. You say this is easily avoided by using alts for mails, so why don't you just go and use your alt for sending your mails.... works both ways but i bet your gunna cry that you shouldn't have to do that or some crap. Well the game shouldn't have to change because your a delicate little snowflake with deep insecurities about what people might think of you.
