The most important thing is: did you use the same password for other stuff? Then go to that other stuff and change it ASAP. At the end of the day, unless you have top secret emails in your account, it's no biggie. Use a better password too if you were using something short and simple.

Start doing a scan for viruses, trojans, key loggers and all that.

Activate the two step authentication thingy for your mail, you know the one with the phone activation.

Were they just attempts or did someone really access it? I've had some people try accessing my account, but they always had the wrong password. Anyway, do what the others have said and you should be fine. Good password has at least 16 characters (8 is too short nowadays) and consists of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

Something similar happened to a friend this week. They blocked the account and it seems someone accesed from Israel.

Uhm I checked my account and I have many session from united states and germany via POP3, I guess it's gmail syncing through pop3 so my mails are all on the gmail account. I've activated the 2step verification on outlook (which I already had but looks like the system has changed) and I already have it on gmail, so there should be no problems at all! :D Good thing my email password is unique, if I don't get verification request I don't even need to change the pass 'cause it was just paranoia :3

about that 2 step authentication, I cant receive an sms on the same number I already have for alerts, so to activate that authentication i need to have 2 cellphones? -.-

i wonder why he needed to access it 5 times
