login and logout

[sakthikns]

hai friends
Consider that i am logging into my yahoo mail account.So what's the difference between logging out from my mail id and simply closing the mail id window.Is both r same or do they create any difference

by loggin out u get ur cookies deleted and if u just close the window there is a possibility that opening it afterwards u might be logged in

If you accidently check the box next to KEEP ME SIGNED IN FOR TWO WEEKS and just close the window without logging out, anyone can see the mails lying in your account and may even send mails if he gets access to your computer.
