Is there a possibility of a keylogger retrieveng your pwd? Can we think of this being your personal email and not a corporate account? I may check the headers to see further what's going on...... is there by any chance the possibility of lending yourself this account due to the apparent lack of use to another "trusted" party?
From what you say, you may have been targeted for that activity.

Sent: Feb 9, 2011 05:12 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. Jacob. On Feb 9, 2011, at 21:59, Adam Pal <pal_adam () gmx net> wrote:
