If the user is in your contact list and has you in their contact list and has THEIR settings set to allow contacts to see when they log in then yes. Otherwise no

The problem is you cannot check the status of internet mail. For example within AOL domain, a member can check the status of mail sent to another AOL member. Outside AOL domain, you do not have this feature AFAIK.

By default, it's not possible...unless you design some sort of spyware to spy on that person's computer.

The only way to see if a person logged into msn is to have them on your contact list, and they have to allow others to see their status.

The only way to see if a person checked their mail would be to send a receipt request (the other person's computer will, by default, ask if it should grant the receipt request...so if the person clicks on no, then you're out of luck).

The only other way would probably be to gain access to his isp's log to see when he logged in and accessed a mail port (IMAP or POP)...but you can't get that unless you're a police officer doing an official investigation. Either that, or get your own website/domain name that gives you access to the logs, and give him an e-mail account there and hope he starts using it from now on lol.

You can send and receive AOL using incredimail and outlook express now and if it's a non AOL address I can get a return receipt so things have changed on AOL.

God knew I couldn't be a pioneer, that's why he gave me a computer!
