When I checked my mail today for another account I received an email from my hotmail account.

This email was not sent by me, so I logged on to check. I had about the same time recieved 3 emails from {removed email address} saying the email could not be delivered. When I checked these the email addresses were o all on my contact list. This email had been sent to all on my list.

However when I check the sent folder there is no emails listed. I have not sent any emails for quite a while myself.

Does this mean someone else is using my account and how should I secure it.
