    Hi,

    I was wondering could anybody here give me some advice? My email seems to have been accessed by somebody and important work correspondance and personal emails have been deleted :mad: I'm not sure if anything has been sent as the sentbox is empty :( but I hope not..

    I have changed my password and logged out any other active sessions but I was wondering is there a way to view a log in information history? I was hoping to get an IP address from this and narrow it down to who it might be..

    you would need to contact your email provider for that.

    If it's a gmail addy, I imagine someone probably guessed your password or security question. :(

    On the log issue, in GMAIL, down the bottom right hand side of the page, click on DETAILS. You will get a list of IP addresses that accessed the account. :cool:
