How can I tell if someone has been logging into my gmail account?
Is there a way to see log-in history for your gmail account? I suspect that someone I know has, and I've already changed the password, but I'm not sure and I don't want to mention it if they aren't guilty.

"What is 'Last account activity'?
Last account activity shows you information about recent activity in your mail. Recent activity includes any time that your mail was accessed using a regular web browser, a POP client, a mobile device, a third-party application etc. We'll list the IP address that accessed your mail, the associated location, as well as the time and date.
To see your account activity, click the Details link next to the Last account activity line at the bottom of any Gmail page."

When you log-in to your gmail, scroll down to the bottom of your email list. On the bottom right, in tiny letters, it says, "last account activity." This will show when anyone last logged in. If you click the word "details" just under that, it will show the date and time of the last 10 activity events, how your account was accessed, and the IP address. I don't know of a way to see further back in time than that, perhaps someone else does. You can also set it up to alert you to any unusual activity while you are poking around there, so that Google will let you know if your account suddenly starts getting logged into with an IP address from Bulgaria or Russia or wherever.
