First thing, change your passwords, both on your email account and on your computer. Make it at least 12 characters with at least 2 uppercase, 2 lower case, 2 symbols, and 2 numbers. That complexity should keep him guessing for a while. Change your password every 90 days. That will keep him from being able to bruteforce crack it and get any value from it. Next put up a new firewall. If you are using the MS firewall, be sure to turn it off before installing the new one. The conflicts between the two will render your box useless. Next, update and run your AV software to ensure he has trojaned your computer.
This isn't perfect but it should help, the unfortunate part is he probably already has a list of all of your contacts, so the harrassment probably won't stop. If it persists you may be able to take legal action, but tracking this guy down won't be easy.
Good luck.

wow that sucks. It would probably take way too much effort to find out who did it. But I advise a good spyware program. And like everyone else said-change your password often.
