I ask because my gmail account has been busy spamming everyone in my address book

Here's who's been doing it:

I occassionally use my laptop for gmail (which I am scanning for spyware now), it occurred to me that I've just started using nokia messaging, I just wanted to rule out that it's unsecure

Plus... mainly vent my rage!!! BASTARDS!!

Thanks

I use IMAP to access gmail, works pretty good... the connection is encrypted I think

I'm not sure about Nokia Messaging security, I know it's not as secure as the blackberry push email service.

Personally I use hotmail as my provider, gmail is also in the list, so my advice would be to set your email up using gmail as a provider and then search for a thread on here called 'modest fixes' and apply the fix in that thread to fix the modest email service (the one used with gmail, hotmail, etc), as in pr1.2 email updates are a little...slow..to say the least.

there was a thread about a month ago about peoples gmail account being hand....alot of people post about their accounts being hacked and using their n900 for messaging. I was one of those people who got hacked.....something is definitely up. check the other thread for more info.

I didn't find that other thread and my gmail was hacked maybe a month ago. Maybe you could link to the other thread?

here ya go....

Where exactly did you get the above connection info from? Does gmail allow you to see a log of who/where your account is being accessed from?

I'm really not sure about the security. I have one question though, have you been using an unencrypted WLAN connection, especially free public hotspots?

if you look at your gmail page, there should be some info at the bottom by details, that shows if your gmail account is logged in at another location and when the last time and location it was logged in. you can click details to see all recent activity

Yesterday morning my Nokia Messaging account started asking for my NM password, oddly enough. I entered it and it appeared to have taken, but then it wouldn't pull any new emails and 20 mins later it asks the password again.

I called Nokia and the rep couldn't figure out either. We tried resetting my NM password and that didn't work. So they "escalated" it and I'm going to get a call within 48 hours... not sure what they're going to ask me to do. Maybe delete my NM account entirely and start over again?
