Answer 3

Would suggest to change your password to a 'strong password'(for  all email accounts) not from your home using your pc but rather going to a cyber cafe or a friends place to do the task.Just go to Wikipedia & enter 'strong passwords' in the search box & see how to implement it.If interpreted right, 'they' have somehow hijacked your connection with a 'Man In The Middle' kind of attack.So, whenever you log-on they are able to monitor your moves.So, would recommend you to get in contact with a 'Geek(Expert....you get the idea!!!)' to configure your system so that 'they' cannot notice the changes.Would have liked to help you out with this If I had been in your locality & Would have loved to 'Play' with these guys in their own games!!!.But, do give it a thought & take necessary steps!!!!..................

If they are hacking your email then they are stopping the email as it comes out. If you're using a mail client like Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird, then you simply need to correct the location of your mail server.

If you're using webmail like Hotmail, Gmail, or Yahoo mail, then they've got some very crafty hacking going on, as the vast majority of that form of communication should take place real time between you and the respective companies that host those mail services, and thus must be happening extremely fast.

If you know for a fact that it is your neighbor, then the police would be the proper people to call. If it is not your neighbor, then you should first talk with your Internet Service Provider about the issue, and if they cannot be of any help, the police again should be the people you call. Not 911 mind you, this isn't that urgent, but something that you should report to them none the less.
