🙂
Came into work today, to find that my personal Googlemail account has been linked to the office computer Outlook Express, and my boss has been sending e-mail from my account.
I think I've managed to un-couple it, but what's to stop it happening again, and how the heck did he manage it without knowing my Gmail acc password? Cheers for any help 😀

Your boss works for Rupert Murdoch.

wow no idea how he linked it, unless you had the password cached? (even then it's very strange)
I'd change your gmail password for a start...

Your gmail account was presumably logged in somewhere or you'd set up a password form for it. Best way to be sure it won't happen again is to change the password now and don't get your browser to remember the password next time it asks. And always log out after checking it.
