Hey, a bit of a serious question here and it's probably not in the right spot so sorry about that. I want to have as few identifying pieces of information here as possible but I recently became aware that my ex had been having all my emails forwarded to them by use of a filter in Gmail. I have removed the filter, changed all associated passwords and the password to my password manager just in case so I'm fairly sure I've put a stop to it though it's obviously still scary.
We've been broken up for about 2 years now and there were a whole lot of stalking and harassment issues from around that time that I dealt with then. I do intend to report this to the relevant authorities but I would 1. like to have as much information as possible to give them upfront in the hope that the more they have to work with, the more they're actually likely to look into it and 2. to know whether or not this is a remnant from previously or if this is something new that I need to be worried about and if I should be keeping more vigilant in other areas of my life.
The information I'm hoping to receive is when this filter was put in place. Even if they can't say exactly, I would imagine they'd have logs they'd be able to give me about when the first time my account forwarded an email to them. It's frustrating that this isn't something I can check as they don't show up in sent anywhere. I've tried looking in the support pages but you can only seem to send Google an email about a few products and they palm you off to the community forums. They do mention you can report account hijacking but they don't say how and that page only mentions it for Drive and the office suite like Docs and Sheets etc for some reason.
Any help in the right direction would be really appreciated. Thank you!
