Why did secureserver.net (GoDaddy) access my Gmail account?

Godaddy-hosted email (if you choose to host your email through GoDaddy) is hosted under the "secureserver.net" domain. In fact, the addresses you configure into your mail client are pop.secureserver.net, imap.secureserver.net, smtp.secureserver.net, etc. If you configured your Godaddy webmail (for perhaps some other domain) to pull in the mail from your Gmail account, then you will certainly see it show up as going to secureserver.net instead of whatever domain your mail is registered under. And if you didn't do it, someone else might probably have done it. Hackers frequently go through intermediary services to disguise their identities. This is as likely an answer as any. Therefore it is highly advised to change your password if you didn’t configure your Godaddy Webmail.
