Yup! Nothing is Impossible in this World. You have to be careful in each and every step. Gmail and it’s popularity is growing day by day. The mail service is secure for sure, but still the need arises to check whether it is hacked or not? Rather say, whether it is being used by any other user or not?

There is nothing Complicated at all. Every user can use this simple thing to know the safety status of your Gmail account. Just follow the images and what is written Just after it.

First of all go to the Bottom Centre of your Gmail account and you will find something like shown in the above image. The RED Part in the above image indicates your complete and current IP Address. Click on Details Next to it. Now as soon as you click on it, you will get a New Window as Follows:

Again the Red part in the image above shows your complete IP Addresses from which you have logged into Gmail or any other Google Services. You can also see the Time and Date when you signed In. Apart from this you can see whether you accesses Gmail via Browser, Mobile, POP3 or any other service (this included AD Sense, iGoogle etc. etc. )

Now the Blue circled Part shows you a button in which it is written Sign Out from All Other Sessions, click on that button and you will be automatically Logged out if there’s any other active session running.

Check these IP Address Stats regularly [I assume you know your IP Address ], if you find anything suspicious, than immediately Change your Password.
