Our process is still evolving - this hasn't happened frequently.  In the most recent case, we observed that the 
contents of the mailbox had been deleted and some rules set to delete incoming mail.

I had a conversation with the user and said not only should the original password not be reused, it should be changed 
on any other account where it had been used (there may have been information concerning social networking accounts in 
the mailbox folders, etc.)  The user reply was "You mean, like on my bank account?"   Sigh...

We follow a similar process and also verify that no rules have been added to mail accounts to forward or delete 
messages.
