I have a problem where someone has been managing to log into MSN Messenger as
me and has been answering and sending messages, posing as me. This has caused
a lot of worry and I've now changed my password and sent a support ticket (so
far unanswered) to MSN Support. I suspect it's someone where I used to work,
is there a way to track where the account has been accessed from ? I know
it's not from either of the machines that I usually use.

there is a one out of the box method to do it and works with any email
account as u said if someone has been accessing ur email send an email with
an webstatistics counter (www.statcounter.com advised) to ur mailbox from
any account or ur own give it a cachy subject if anyone opens it and even
make it unread later u will still be able to see the access ip browser
settings os configuration all catched by the statcounter.
hope this helps u off ur troubles!
Hav a gr8 day,

You want the ultimate safety?
Delete that account completely and create a new one with a big strong
password.
Only add people that you trust 100% to that list
and don't talk about it to anyone else.

you cannot track where the account has been accessed from...
the only thing you can know is that someone has enterned your account
if you have yours online all the time, and you get a message that
"you have loged in from another location"
dont hold your breath for msn support
