If you can not type reliably, you can copy and paste the web site address into your browser.
The problem with going directly to the web site from your email is that the web address can sometimes access your ENTIRE email address list and sometimes also access your email password. Once they have this information, they can come into your email again and again.
Sometimes these people use your computer as a "slave" so they can send out mass emails which look like they are coming from you.
Yes, I know. The BAD GUYS are making the internet less fun.
If you get something unusual from one of your friends, call the friend and ask if (s)he sent the email. If you do not warn your friend, your friend will not know that (s)he needs to fix his/her email.
If your email has been hacked, you need the help of a nerd. It is always important to be nice to nerds so that when you need help, you can get help.
