You have to be very careful using Gmail, if your account gets hijacked you can't do anything about it for at least five days while the hijacker has full access to all your email. Google will investigate the hijacking but that will take another period of time. It's been 10 days since my Gmail was hijacked and I still don't have access to it nor have I heard anything from Google about their investigation. All I know so far is that my hijacked Gmail account was used to hijack my eBay account to place fraudulent bids.
Be very careful and read their account security policies very closely at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=1563
