Hi, I'd like to know if there is a way you could trace the track record of someone who has been reading my emails. This person is a computer technician who borrowed my tower and took all my settings and was receiving my emails on to his computer. I need evidence he's been doing this in order to report it. Is there any way you could find evidence of that happening? Carlo

If you are trying to see who is accessing your email I would recommend you check with the host company for the email. They should have record of the IP Address that is accessing the email account. If they can not trace the IP for you aleast they can have the IP address that is not yours blocked from access.

Let me know if you have any more problems or questions

Depends who your email provider is i would contact them as they will be able to use access records to help you in tracing who it is and taking action to prevent it.
Mainly change your password for your email soon as to prevent him re-logging in and contacting email provide to trace the person accessing your email other than yourself.

Hi Carlo,
There is no way as such to find out that since when he is reading your emails,because emails were made in this manner that they can be accessed from any where in this world.

There is one way to find out is to approach your internet service provider but even they will not let you know till the time you have complained it with the police, because this is something not that easy. If you approach the police they can find out with the help of cyber crime department.

But yes there is a way to stop him read your email is change your password and all the security questions to recover your password,
afterwards he will not be able to read your emails.

The only way that he may do that is if it has installed into your computer a key-logger software ..that transmits data about everything that you type into your computer..so that he has knowledge about what you ..type ..when and in what program ..so there he knows all the passwords and user id ..
There are many forms of this software and you will not be able to find it by name ..unless you know all programs and all theirs functions ..so ..even if you can not trace it ..my advice is to get the computer to another tech ..and reinstall the operation system ..and all software you use..and during that format the hard-disk ..
save all important data first ..one by one ..and put them back after installation ..
Beware that this kinda software do not has to be installed into C drive /program files..and can be installed in its own director and placed anywhere ..
This is the reason that I advice you to make time and select files you want to save one by one ...to be sure there are no strange folders among them ....
after that I advice you to change password in email ..also on bank account and any that you might been using since than for not having any surprises ..
By teh way ..if anyone knows your password and access your email there is no way to trace it ..cause it can be done from virtually anywhere ..and there is no way to find out ..the only thing like I explained ..you can remove the possibility of a fishing-spying activity ..and change the passwords..to be sure..

Change your email address and password first thing. Most email providers have an access log where they store the logins of the email accounts. Perhaps you can optain a copy of that and then at least you will have the guys IP providing he's not hiding behind a proxy server.

Hello,

You would need to report this to your email provider.

Best regards
