Hi,Thanks for all the feedback. It is greatly appreciated. I do not think it is a spoofing attack as I have items in my sent folder as well as drafts.
I also highly doubt it was because of a weak password. My password was 14 characters and consisted of upper case and lower case aplhanumeric characters and wasn't based on a dictionary word. I have always been very careful with passwords and usernames.
