It is possible they have the password to your email and have been reading it surreptitiously.
Consider...
They have the password to your email, they login, see you are a united customer. Go to the united.com website and enter your email address as the username, but click "forgot password" and had a new one emailed to your email account. Login to united.com, delete that password email, change your united.com password and buy stuff. Depending on your mail system, yahoo, hotmail, msn, etc. there are all kinds that have various vulnerabilities.
Recommendation: Change ALL of your passwords to EVERYTHING.

I have a better suggestion... Don't use any computer you do not have control of to check email.
