Paul/All First of all, I'm sorry everyone's inbox got clogged up with spam when my account got broken into. When I logged in on saturday Google had detected that the account had been compromised and had locked my account. I changed my google password and enabled 'always use HTTPS' *and* 2-step verification. BTW, I highly recommend other GMail users to do the same, as apparently a number of google mail accounts have been compromised lately. Between all the measures above there shouldn't have been any more spam coming from my account, and I'm only seeing two spam emails that were sent on saturday in my 'Sent' folder. If anyone has received any other spam from my account since saturday I'd appreciate it if you could forward me those emails as pmail, as in that case I will have to follow up further with Google. --Thomas On 5/9/11, Paul <wognacious@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you I will keep that in mind next time.
