I got a message that my account was accessed from the following IP:
204.69.4.20 on Febuary 16 2011.

I did open my gmail account from the Loma LInda S.B. Library, but I
think that was about a week ago.

How do I find out where this IP is, and/or who is behind it?

If someone got into my gmail account, then it means that they either
broke my 9 digit password with punctuation,
upper and lower caps and number, or they sniffed in from the hardline
(not using wireless), or they somehow got a
key logger on my machine. What is are suggestions on handling this if
someone has access to my machine? My biggest
problem is that I'm not running behind a nat router or dedicated
firewall. I have been planning to get one of those ASUS WL-520GC
routers, because I want to run DDWRT on it. I may just go get it today
and reinstall my OS, which is on a separate partition from my data. My
biggest concern is that I use this account strictly for this LuG, and
I don't want to loose all those emails with a wealth of tech info. Any
info, or suggestions would be appreciated.

I think I'm going to change my gmail to IMAP so I can mirror it in Thunderbird.
I found this documentation:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=75725

If anyone has a link to a good tutorial (I've never done anything with
IMAP) or helpful information on how to mirror my gmail in Thunderbird,
I would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks
Paul
