The problem here is that both passwords were different, but the password for my g-mail account would have been easy to get with a dictionary to hand.
I've now started dumping numerical sequences at the end of the passwords used for my e-mail accounts, but at least google actually stopped whoever it was from accessing my g-mail account unlike yahoo who allowed someone from Egypt to run amok in my backup yahoo mail account sending spam to anyone they wanted and only left me with a small notification that I might have missed.
