I think you may have sent any email to yourself, thats why it fall in spam box, I think in TO you have put your mail id!

 

no its not like that there is some promotional url on that mail.

 

It's extremely unlikely that a spammer accessed your account, much more likely that they spoofed your email address. Spam email often spoofs the email address of any account it's gone through, or raided the contacts list of.

 

What is spoofed email address??

 

I don't usually post wikipedia links, but this really does explain it much better than I could http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_spoofing

 

Thanks for the link magda

 

when you receive email from your own email , it does not mean that your account it hacked by some one.
there are free service to send email without creating email address,
there is simple and single line php code will do that.

so no need to be afraid , simply delete that email

 

This happens to some spam mail, just delete it thats all.

 

Gmail is more safe. Yahoo can easily be hacked. If your password is ok, you shouldn't need to worry.

 

It might be from the created mail
By the way, if you are worry about it, you can change the password

 

Just delete them, I got emails like this every day.

 

the email has been spoofed , if ur mail accnt is accesed from a diff ip , check that out at the boton of the gmail accnt page ..
