Thousands of people searches through the internet for the above topic, and apparently they come up with quite nice articles which explains how to hack. Most of those are sending an email to a specific email address of the service provider which is a system account. What you have to do is, send an email from your account with your password and also add the email account to be hacked into it. I’s very easy, they give you the format of the email, you just have to insert the two values and send the email to the system account. And just after you send the email, the system account logs into your account and then do some bullshit(this changes from article to article) and send back the password of other person. Pretty cool isn’t it?

This method is really simple. As I mentioned before, this technique is called social engineering. Once you sent your password, it’s a hack! They have used social engineering to get into your account.

There is one thing you need to keep in mind before searching through the internet for above topics, don’t fall into pitfalls. There are thousands of security experts working on securing the email services, so it’s very unlikely there are flaws on those. In other hand, even if there’s a flaw, who would want to share it? As a matter of fact, just after he shared it the service provider will get alerted and they’ll close the hole, and the founder won’t be able to exploit it any longer.

So, if you really really want to hack into email accounts (I strongly recommend not to), find your own way. The best possible is to use social engineering.
