Checking Gmail account activity

    Hey,

    I just discovered a useful feature at Gmail. After you logged on, go the bottom of the page. You will see a sentence:
    "Last account activity: 0 minutes ago at this IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Details".​

    When you click details you can see who accessed your Gmail account and where or how the user did it. Figured it's useful, you can see if someone is capturing your mails via POP3 in his own mail program or secretly reading your mails through the website.

    Enjoy it? :)

    Greets,
    Devi Ataz.

    Noticed that a long time ago- nifty feature.

    One more good reason to use G-mail. It is miles ahead of Yahoo and MSN.

    This has been introduce by Gmail a month before

    But this feature does n't take session timeout into accounts..It simply shows where the account is open...
