Gmail -- Getting spam e-mails in spam folder sent from self?

(yes, I know this is Yahoo -- but I use both)





My boss just switched over to Gmail. She suddenly got tons of spam in her spam folder, but plenty of the e-mails were sent from her e-mail account (her new gmail account and the e-mail address she switched from). However, these e-mails didn't appear in her sent folder.





How did this happen, and how can she stop it?





Thanks!

This is possible, especially when your email address has been spoofed. Meaning, someone is using your email account to send spams and, the weird thing here is you have "sent" the spam and receive it. Since "someone" is using your email to send spams, I believe you are receiving a lot of delivery failures too.





If not, as in, you are only receiving spams, you might want to check on the email header, you can do this by looking at the properties of the email, check if the sender is really you. If the sender is really you, try to scan your computer, it might be infected with a malware that controls your emails. Send me a message, and also attach with it the contents of the email header, let me check on it.
