There's nothing you can do. If you've shared your username/password
with someone else, the Exchange server will only note that *you* have
logged in whenever your username/password is submitted. The server has
no way of determining who actually entered the credentials. If you
think your email account has been compromised, notify your network
administrator immediately, and change your password.

Thank you for the reply, Bruce.
the only problem is - it is one of the Administrators who is logging in in
Web Access.
apparently, he gets notified when someone logs in using his username and
password- and i wanted to get notified also.
The other problem, regarding my password - he can log into any user's
account - as the administrator, so changing my password, won't work !! I
thought it is possible to create an event log or something to know when he/
anyone else logs in on my account. if anyone can help me with this issue -
please !!!!

Since this is obviously happening at your work place, you should know
that there is no privacy in email there. Your employer can read any of
your emails and you shouldn't be sending anything private. It is the
employer's network and the employer's computers, not yours.

If you are having personal difficulties with one of the system
administrators, then talk to your boss or take it up with your Human
Resources Dept. This is not a technical problem and you are not going
to be able to solve it with technology.

As Malke said, it is the work computer and this why they have administrators
monitoring and have the rights to see every thing going in or out otherwise
how they know you or somebody else in the Co not giving away their Data and
info to another company.
And a lot of Company Ploicy prevent users from having personal e-mail sent
to their work one, personal left behind when you closed your House/Flat door
and entering the Organization Door and loging in.
Well if you expecting receiving Jokes e-mails and Attachements which costing
the Business a lot of money then look for another Easy beasy Job allow these
things to happen.
If you have misunderstanding with Him/Her then talk or raise the matter to
the boss to solve it and clear the air.

Report him to your employer's human resources department. If he
is, indeed, abusing his privileges, he'll likely be disciplined or
terminated.

apparently, he gets notified when someone logs in using his username and
password- and i wanted to get notified also.

Then ask him how he configured the server to send him these alerts.

The other problem, regarding my password - he can log into any user's
account

Only if he changes the password first; it's not possible for him to
learn any user's password unless that user tells him.


- as the administrator, so changing my password, won't work !!


Because the administrator *cannot* log into your account without
changing the password (or without your giving him the password) it
certainly would work. If nothing else, you would know for certain
(because the password you set no longer works) that someone had been
intruding.

I
thought it is possible to create an event log or something to know when he/
anyone else logs in on my account.

No, it's not. (Unless, of course, you also have administrative
privileges to the Exchange server.)

Bear in mind, however, that your Exchange/Outlook email account
actually belongs to your employer, and you should have absolutely no
expectation of privacy. It may even be part of the administrator's
duties to periodically and randomly monitor other employees' email
traffic. If you're using the email account for purposes that are in
violation of your employer's policies, or for illicit purposes, I'd
suggest that you desist. Or start looking for another job, where
company policies better fit your email habits.

This isn't strictly true. If he's in an EU country, and if the IT policy
states that staff may use e-mail for personal use at all (even limited
use), then the company has no right whatsoever to read other people's e-
mails, it would violate the EU privacy directive, enshrined in local law.

If he's in France, the right to privacy legislation is very pervasive
indeed.
