Although it is not easy to hack any password but if the victim is not aware of the security facts then their email id's can be easily hacked. Here are few methods to hack email id's:
Phishing:
you can easily hack one's email id using phishing. It is the method of making a fake webpage of facebook, yahoo, orkut, gmail etc. and uploading it on free hosting websites like my3gb.com and then sending the link to the victim. when the victim tries to login, its username and password will be redirected to the attacker's file which is uploaded on the server.
social engineering:
In this method the hacker tries to find out the security questions of the victim by using social engineering skills. Social engineering means finding the facts of the victim like hints for the password or the security questions without letting them know.
By using Keyloggers:
we can silently install keyloggers on their computer if physical access is available on their computer. Or by using your own computer and asking them to login and your computer will moniter the keystrokes and then find their username and password.
other ways are like DNS poisioning or using password attacks. In LAN we can use ARP poisioning or packet Sniffing.
