Ashish:
It seems strange, but I believe you.
Simple reason: You have a gmail account, and *every* GMail user sees
your name and email, like "from Ashish Yadav
<ashishyadav26@xxxxxxxxx>", when you send a message, but I don't see
your name from the hijacked account.
I.e.GMail sees the hijacked account as "from ashishyadav26@xxxxxxxxx",
same source of email, but without the name.
Now: question to the our dear Open-Source community - How is this possible ?
1. How is this possible for hijackers to hijack the mail source address?
2. How is it possible for GMail to distinguish between a real and a
hijacked email ?
1 & 2 actually happened just in the front of us !
