This is not hacking dude.And I don't think it can be proved it is illegal.

BUT BUT BUT It is highly unethical dude.It's like some crazy postman reading all your mails before he delivers them to you.

hmm which email-service are your friends using??
Any decent email providers will send a a new password on the users secondary email. So even if u are able to guess their forgot-your-password answers, u still shouldn't get the password.

most of email a/cs in world r readable by hackers....there is no ip check system in most of email a/cs service which tell u that from which ip ur mail a/c accessed or viewed ??? and email companies will not put IP system in future also.....
and nobody (hacker/cracker) publish any individual information on net...... they make information database and sell to the companies ppl or to the security companies...it all happens ---
