Hi! I have a feeling that someone is accessing my YAHOO Web-based e-mail account. Is it possible to track IP address which accessed my Web-based e-mail client? Many thanks Olivia

I have a feeling they won't give you data from their server logs though. Since authentication of your user name & password is performed on Yahoo's servers, they're the only party that legally can have that information.
Thanks a lot for your answers - I'll try Yahoo. It's not a keystroke - it's someone is reading my e-mail whilst I am away. like, on holidays, and when I log-on from an internet cafe, all my new messages appear as "read". I'll probably change my password!

Glad to help. That could happen because of a keylogger.
jdclyde is absolutely right about that, for sure. Think about it: a program logs your keystrokes and sends them to ... ?, who then uses your user name and password to login to your account. If either of us is right, we probably both are.

You probably have a keystroke logger on your system
Then do a good scan of your system for malware and keystroke loggers.
One sign is to look at how much memory is in use at bootup. Average for XP seems to be between 180 and 190 M of ram, assuming you have an Anti-Virus running.
Install ZoneAlarm and watch for anything that is trying to access the internet.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
IP address tracking at Web-based e-mail clients
I have a feeling that someone is accessing my YAHOO Web-based e-mail account.
Is it possible to track IP address which accessed my Web-based e-mail client?
