Google adds a new feature to notify Gmail users when Google detects suspicious login activity on their Gmail account. When something unusual is going on with their account, the newly integrated warning system will alert Gmail users by posting a warning message saying, “Warning: We believe your account was last accessed from…” along with the geographic region that we can best associate with the access.
Since July 2008, Gmail has provided a link named ‘Last account activity’, can be found at the bottom of the Gmail, which provides important info, like when the account was last opened, along with the internet addressed used.

According to Gmail Blog, if Google can’t determine the specific location from which an account is accessed, a login appearing to come from one country and occurring a few hours after a login from another country may trigger an alert.
By clicking on the “Details” link next to the message, users can see the last account activity window that they are used to, along with the most recent access points.
Gmail users can change their password from the same window if they think their account has been compromised. Or, if it was legitimate access (e.g. users husband/wife who accesses the account was also traveling, etc.), they can click “Dismiss” to remove the message.
Google is planning to offer this feature to Google Apps customers according to their users feedback.
