gmail logoEver wondered if someone is accessing your Gmail account? You’re in luck! There is an easy way to tell.

It is inevitable that every one gets the feeling at least once that someone has accessed their email account without permission.  We recently received a question from a reader about how to tell if his Gmail account had been accessed by someone other than himself.  Luckily there is an easy for you to check this as often as you like with just a few clicks… two to be exact.

The first thing you need to do is scroll all the way to the bottom of the page of your inbox.  In the area where it tells you how much space you’ve used and so on, you will see the word “Details”.  Simply click on the word and you will see a popup window appear.

In the popup window you will see the last five sessions of your Gmail account, and the IP address you are currently using.  If you see an address radically different than your own, simply click on the button that says “Sign out all other sessions”, immediately killing all other logins into your account other than the one you are currently on.

That’s it, you’re done!  Super easy to check, and something you can do as many times a day as you like to see if someone you don’t approve of is accessing your account.
