Normally, I don't check my spam but noticed that I received an email from myself. If someone has hacked my Google account or someone spoofing my email address? I have change my password after seeing this.

Don't worry, it's really systematic.  It is very easy to spoof the email address the email appears to be.  Often, and usually the spammer just send spam to your email address and hope you will open to it because it seems to come from you.  There is no need to hack your account to do this.

Of course, Google has detected this and marked the message as SPAM.   It seems all relative, but no one will blame you for make them spam.  It is easy for a sysadmin or automated system to say that he's not in you.

If you're still interested, you can:

  1. Open the message (in gmail, not on your phone) and then choose "show original".   You will see the raw message with headers.  You should be able to sort out these stars, or you can display the raw message (w / headers) to any friends ubergeek you have or you can me PM with the results.
  2. scroll at the bottom of your gmail account page and you will see ' last account activity: X hours ago on this computer. "  Details»  Click on 'details' as if the connection times and places seems to make sense.
