My ex-partner and I had a joint email account, but since we broke up, I want to access the emails that are still in the account. How can I get access to my ex-partner's email account without their knowing?

First, check the email account's settings to see if there is an option to provide a secure code sent via text or email that would allow you access. If not, contact the service or web host of the email account to request a reset password. If that does not work, it might be possible for you to serve your ex-partner with a court order requiring them to turn over access information, depending on the situation and state regulations. Finally, if all else fails and your ex-partner refuses access, you may need to reach out to a lawyer and explore other legal remedies available in your region.

Your ex-partner might have the ability to view what’s been shared with them in the email account, so if you share an email address or have been added to a contacts list, you may want to change your passwords and contact info. If they haven't changed their information, there might be a forgotten password function that they can use. You could also try asking them for login info or taking legal action if necessary.
