[QUOTE="mbp7, post: 1330342, member: 224909"] i would highly recommend changing your password. i assume that you have done that by now, but that is the first step when your account is compromised (any account, not just email). also, i would login and setup the security questions/cell number for your account. that way if your password is compromised (not just the account) you have 'admin' access to change it. w/o setting up this information, google/gmail has no way to believe that you are the actual owner of the account. some people setup 2 step verification, but it has been said that it is overkill, for some people, it is a personal preference.
