I can’t see this as being acceptable, it’s the exact same as reading someone’s snail mail, no difference at all

I’m assuming the poll implies  it’s without her knowledge – yes, that’s wrong. 
We do it all the time, but we’re aware of it and don’t mind. I don’t keep secrets from mo anam cara.

Why would anyone check someone else’s email/texts unless they didn’t trust them?
If the day comes where I have to snoop around my beloved’s phone to find out what she’s been up to, that’s the day I’d have to admit it’s all over.

CanuckJacq it’s the convenience of it. I work on the computer so I’m on it a lot. During the day I’ll check her mail for her because I’m already at the computer… that way she only has to see her inbox when I tell her something is there.
Also, we both like to leave our cell phones charge in the kitchen.  If one of them goes off, whoever is near by will check it and relay the message, rather than make the other person walk all the way over.
Being open and not keeping secrets makes our lives easier. Aren’t all happy couples that way?

I think there’s an important difference between Jacq’s and Kiera’s points – it’s whether the couple are open and have no problem checking each others message/mails; or whether those in the relationship are snooping, and therefore don’t trust one-another.
If it’s the latter, then I reckon those guys need to sit down and have a talk!

If it’s agreed you can look then there is no issue. I think a person would be wrong to assume it is ok. I don’t think there is anything wrong with expecting to have your privacy respected.  I would trust my partner totally but I would never in a million years dream of looking at a text or a mail without permission.  That goes for my friends too.
One and one makes two, just cause you are with someone doesn’t mean you have to give up your individuality and right to privacy.
I’d be horrified of anyone, my girlfriend, mother, best friend, anyone, ready my texts or mails and I can assure you, they are dull as dishwater

I agree with Click and the poll whilst it wasn’t obvious is without their knowledge, based on this recent survey
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20001951-1.html
As Click said, if they know about it, go for it otherwise there is a trust issue there and I would say its better to ask your partner what’s going on rather then you hacking into her facebook profile and/or email account and presenting her with exhibit A, B and C as to why you think she’s up to no good…
