Do u think I should change my password on my e-mail account?
Just today I recieved a e-mail informing me this mysterous postmaster couldn't send a e-mail I wrote off to the other person. I looked at the other e-mail that was onto this one and it was disgusting. I looked farther and saw this sender (not me) used missgigglebunny which is may user name. That is the back story to this quesion. I'm annoyed that my e-mail possibly is not safe from sick-o's.

Sounds like you picked up a virus.
Immediately have your computer checked for a 'bug' or 'bugs.'
Once it is clean of pests, install a firewall and an anti-virus program if you do not have one yet.
I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also.
After you finish this, then go in and change your password, using a good strong one.
Added detail, spammers can use your own ID name to send their mailings, so never open any mail unless you are absolutely sure of who sent it. And, I know I do not have to remind you never to give your personal information out to any one.

I've heard of warnings that some people send out spoof emails with names that look familiar to you but really aren't the person you thought they were. I would definitely not open those emails.
I would change your password just to be safe. If the person has access to your user name I would totally get a new email account.

I'd just get a new account all together. Whoever this person is has access to all your private information if they can log into your email. Make sure your password is harder to guess...use random letters and numbers.
