Google added a new feature to Gmail which will detect suspicious activity in your account and notify you when an intruder has attempted to login to your account.
If Google detects a possible intrusion, it will display the following warning in your inbox that your account was accessed from a specific location.
By clicking on the “Details” link next to the [warning] message, you’ll see the last account activity window that you’re used to, along with the most recent access points.
If you think your account has been compromised, you can change your password from the same window. Or, if you know it was legitimate access (e.g. you were traveling, your husband/wife who accesses the account was also traveling, etc.), you can click “Dismiss” to remove the message.
