Help, My Ex is tracking all my gmail accounts and I don't know how to stop it

[ineedgmailhelp]

My s/o and I recently broke up. While we were together we both had
(and still have) gmail accounts and we never traded passwords. From
my "master" or very first gmail account, when needed I would send a
gmail invite to my work email or some other account so that I could
open a new gmail account, kind of like a parent (my original gmail
account) and child (other new gmail accounts created using invite from
parent or other child account).
My Ex confronts me from time to time and will say, " I see you emailed
this person or you responded to that posting" and it is making me
crazy and furious all at the same time.
What can I do to elimiate this uninvited and unwanted tracking by of
Ex of my gmail accounts activity?
I sincerely hope someone can assist me.
Thanks!

Hi,

Change your personal details, right from password to secondary mail id  to ...

Definitely do that, but also realize it could be a mind-game as well.
It's fairly easy to keep track of message forums, and talk to old
mutual friends who will unwittingly give up information they feel is
benign "Oh yeah, she wrote back to me..." which he could use to make
you THINK he has access to your account. If you change your
passwords, that should stop him if he truly has access.

Thanks but it is not just paranoia since he called me yesterday and
said I see you tried to send an email to "so and so." I was so taken
aback and I want this to stop, it is making me mental.

So I went into my very first gmail account under settings and diabled
and there are not the details there that you noted, such as secondary
or back-up for example. I went out to my google profile and changed
the password, and I have also disabled POP download and IMAP access.
I am not a techie as you surely realize, but I am at a loss and not
sure if what I just did will help or not. Somehow he also knows when
I send a text message from my cell phone, it is really creeping me
out. HELP please!
Thanks!

Scan your computer for spyware or keyloggers. Disable any remote
access software.

hi, if you think there is more into that, why

a. not contact any authorities and just report it...

b. divert from gmail to another free mail or even

c. change internet providers...

d. try for somedays to use internet cafe...public pc's and see what is going on from there...

in that case you;ll be able to diagnose whether it's something on your pc or the spying takes place otherwise

good luck

The only way he can access your gmail account is if he knows the password.

Change the password and that should be it. Don't make it something he can
guess.

Gmail doesn't have a secondary mail ID as far as I know, so I don't understand
that suggestion. All accounts are separate and it doesn't matter the order in
which they were created, nor who sent invites to whom.

Also make sure you aren't using his gmail account by mistake. If you're using
POP/IMAP to access your mail (as opposed to a web browser and gmail's web
interface directly), check the settings in your PC's email program to make
sure it's using only your gmail account and not his.

If he has physical access to your PC, or (but this is stretching things a bit)
if he somehow got a virus or spyware onto your computer, he might know what
you're up to. Or maybe he is spying on you through a window.

Do you feel comfortable about asking him how he knows these things about you?

Sounds like stalking to me. I'd change passwords and all that, then
talk to the police. You might be able to get some kind of restraining
order.

If you have a Symbian phone, eg a lot of Nokias, he might have
installed software on it, eg:

Also check your filters in Gmail to see if any are forwarding messages
to your ex. Hopefully when you changed your settings to Disable IMAP
and POP you also made sure that the messages are not be automatically
forwarded.

Gmail does have a secondary account. It is the account you prove when you sign up

I meant provide, not prove.

Secondary Email can be found by going to:
Gmail Settings (link) -> Accounts Tab -> Google Account Settings
(link) -> Change Security Question (link).
