    Anyone have their gmail account locked down before?

    I've been having this happen to me quite a bit in the past 4-5 days ... never happened before that though. It is unlocked again after some time but keeps getting locked down. I've changed the password, written to google (not that that will help, I'm sure). It's getting to be more than just a pain in the ass.

    This is the message I get:

    "Account Lockdown: Unusual Activity Detected

    This account has been locked down due to unusual account activity. It may take up to 24 hours for you to regain access.

    Unusual account activity includes, but is not limited to:

    1. Receiving, deleting, or downloading large amounts of mail via POP in a short period of time.
    2. Sending a large number of undeliverable messages (messages that bounce back).
    3. Using file-sharing or file-storage software, browser extensions, or third party software that automatically logs in to your account.
    4. Leaving multiple instances of your Google Mail account open.
    5. Browser-related issues. Please note that if you find your browser continually reloading while attempting to access your Inbox, it’s probably a browser issue, and it may be necessary to clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

    Familiar to anyone?
