Someone is sending from my address - Help Center

Read this, this may help you.. Better you contact Gmail staff itself.. They can solve it in better way...

Change the password..

If you are using a desktop mail client, then check you computer for malware, viruses etc..

i dont think they need to use his account at all. spoofing an email address is not hard to do

But where do you suppose they get his contact list?:S

First of all, disable POP and IMAP access and then see.

check ur local PC for viruses, trojan's, etc.

remove POP/IMAP settings on local client.
