In light of all the security issues faced by webmail, Google added a new functionality into their service by allowing Gmail users to review their account activity logs. Users can view timestamps, IP addresses and the medium used to access their specific account. Far out! Useful information for basic monitoring and investigations.
Besides monitoring logins, it may be wise to periodically verify your Gmail settings to ensure that there were not tampered with by hackers. Instead of continuously logging into hijacked email accounts, hackers usually add forwarding rules to receive their victim's emails. Check that forwarding, POP and IMAP are all disabled*.* Unless you configured them for your personal use of course!
