Your account at a glance
Centered at the bottom of the Gmail window is a handy information pane. Here you can see:
- How much space your Gmail account is taking up and what percentage of your quota you're using
- Last account activity: This is a good way to make sure your account hasn't been compromised (i.e. someone else has your login and password). You'll see the IP address of the computer that last accessed your Gmail account along with how long ago it did so.
- Clicking on the Details link beside the Last account activity message gives a more detailed look at who's accessing your account. You can also see your own current IP address to see if it matches up with the activity log. You can check to see if you've forgotten to sign out of your account on another computer and if so, you can force that computer to sign out of the account.
