I don't think they 'got in', but they were certainly piggy backing of my email address. Recently I was invaded by one or more Russians (I assume Russian, addressees of svetlana and ivan and cyrillic alphabet) using my gmail address to relay a gazillion emails. I've tried most of the other clients and always came back.
Kevin Black's Experience I was using the Gmail web app (I had it wrapped up using fluid so it looked like a simple app).
