What is my recourse of action when someone has been viewing my emails without my knowledge?

Question

I live in California. My ex-boyfriend recently moved back in with his ex-wife. While they were apart I stayed with him and used his computer. My mistake, I accidently saved my password on his computer. This was a couple of months ago. I never actually signed out. As of yesterday, I found out she has been going through my emails finding out very personal information about me and telling him, in which half of the things she says aren't even accurate. However, she works for SBC/AT&T and I need to find out if she's been doing this at work, which then I know I could get her fired or if she's only been checking my email at home. I have gmail, when you use the option to save your password to the computer, YOU MUST SIGN OUT, if you do not sign out, it will automatically sign you out after 2 weeks of inactivity...I haven't been on his computer in months, he told me yesterday my email was still active on his computer. Is there any action I can take against this 40 year old woman?

Sorry..............My password was changed.....doesn't make a difference when it's on SOMEONE ELSES computer! Thought I had made that clear before.

Answer 1

Course of action- 1)Changing your password.
It will be hard to prove that this woman accessed your email at her place of work.
If she used the contents of your emails to slander you, the most you can accuse her of is that- slandering your good name.
Talk to a lawyer, since this caused you a great deal of grief. He or she will ask you one thing " What do you want?" You must have the answer to that question when you walk into the lawyers door.

Answer 2

I hope you have already changed your password, at the very least? Then she won't be able to get in. As for the stuff she may have saved, will the ex-boyfriend delete that?
