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.

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. :/
