I generally keep an eye on the access details of my gmail email account after being compromised a couple of years ago. The IP addresses shown for the last 10 accesses have agreed with what I would expect (home router IP address for wifi and an EE address if I access via my phone away from home). Recently I have been seeing some IP addresses which look completely different and I now know to be IPv6 format instead of IPv4. This has got me a bit concerned as I changed my password immediately I suspected something. But these addresses still appear occassionally. My computer runs XP and tablet and phone are Android. Can anyone explain this as I'm no networking geek? In the meantime I will disable email on phone and tablet to see if these still occur.
Edit: My computer IP address is generally shown in IPv4 format but I have seen at least one occasion when it has been in IPv6 (as reported by Gmail "details")
