I do get that feeling many a times , Thankfully the best Email service, Gmail has a solution for this,

Click on Details and a window pops up with all the details of last Gmail logins.

With IP details and Time and everything you can Log out of all those sessions ( if still logged in) to be safe.

How does this help?

If you find a suspicious or simultaneous access, then you can sign-out all other sessions, except yours from this session window. Then you can make necessary steps by changing the password/security question to avoid unauthorised access. And other security Changes.

This is an excellent service provided by GMail. This will help you to protect your GMail account from unauthorised use. As well as keep track of all your recent logins.
