Re: Stolen email.

Gather evidence and consult an attorney. One of the main questions is going to be whether or not there was "theft,"--if you shared a computer, then it's probably not theft.

On the other hand, if the disclosure on MySpace was meant to embarrass you, the "theft" prong may not matter as much, since you did have a right not to have your private material shared with others who did not have access to your computer.
