It has become a very common problem for a persons email service to be hacked so that another person has access to your email account. In most cases this is done by an email spammer to send out spam emails. This way the spam is traced back to you and not to them and they can shield themselves from prosecution. These email spammers will usually hack into your email account by tricking you into revealing your pass words to them through the use of phishing or trojan emails. But there is another kind of hacked email account that can be far more invasive of your privacy. This kind of case involves a person that is in your life and wants to spy on you by reading all your private emails. It could be an current or ex spouse, an employee or a relative. But it is a person that wants to violate your privacy and read all of your confidential email correspondence.
This kind of email hacker is far more dangerous as they have a personal interest in invading your privacy and the information they obtain can be used against you personally.

Solutions:
If you do an online search about dealing with a hacked email account most of the advice you'll encounter will center around changing passwords and reporting the offence to your ISP.
