Does changing the email account password(s) not help, even for a short time?
Also/alternatively, I don't know whether this is remotely relevant, but
every user of email needs to be aware that it is (unfortunately) perfectly
possible to masquerade as anyone at all when sending an email, whether or
not you have access to the relevant email account. Spammers and viruses take
full and frequent advantage of this feature, thereby causing a lot of
unnecessary grief to innocent parties. This feature is why spam blockers
never look at the sending email address, only at the sending email /server/.
Finally, MIME is the name of part of the Internet email standard, and can
pop up in lots of places, often in completely above board circumstances.

The attacker uses some kind of program via e-mail? Perhaps uses something
like "MIME"? This word was printed on one of his e-mails he stole from me
and sent to this other person. Apparantly been going on for some time. Comes
goes, reads, copies, does whatever he wants.
