Hmmm. Did you forget? Shiny side out!

If somebody obtained your password, they now own that account. Your best
course of action is to tell everybody you know that it is no longer your
email account.

They aren't really likely to be able to help at all. Unless you can offer
sufficient evidence that the account was yours, in which case they could
reset the password. But you need to try and sort out how the other person
obtained your password in the first place. If you can't figure out the
security breach, you will just lose that account again.

Well, they can't act without evidence; not if they want to keep their jobs.

I'll take your word for it; despite evidence to the contrary...
> I've been thinking of getting a P.I. but they are expensive.
Yes, that is true. There is a certain expense to tracing people; not least
of which is some kind of government license, without which the P.I. is just
another stalker.

Just don't give him one.
> Can people be taken to court and sued for this kind of thing?
In general, one can sue anybody for anything, if one can find an attorney
who will file the suit.
> I want to sue the pants off of him. What are my options?
You will probably have a hard time finding an attorney who will file for
somebody's pants. Assuming that there is a judge in the country who would
award them if you were to prevail.
