This is just a gmail account correct? Because you mentioned pop and imap and that wouldn't apply to a regular gmail account.
Now if your mail is being forwarded to gmail, that's a different story.
If it's a gmail account first thing I would do is change the pw using a computer on line. Your phone should immediately give you a message saying it can't connect. Enter the new password into the phone. See if that doesn't clear it up.
Now if it's another email that you're forwarding to gmail, that's a different story. Get back to us.

Tried K9 or MailDroid?
You don't need that if it's just gmail. That's only if you are using another mail client.

yes it is just a normal gmail account. i deleted the account off my phone and tried to set it up again but it failed so my phone didn't give me any can't connect message, but i did change the password and tried to set up the account again to no avail.

I take that back, if you changed the password yourself you weren't hacked... but it seems your only option at this rate would be to make another account. :/
