How can I tell if someone has taken over my email account as their own?

How can I tell if someone has taken over my email account as their own? I am concerned about seeming responses to emails that I have not sent.

How do I find or retrieve an email when I’m not sure which address it was sent to? How do I find an email that’s a job interview invitation when I have several email accounts? Also how come I find emails that were sent to me months or years ago in different area of that particular email address. And when or how do I know if it was sent to spam L I don’t know how to set up category’s of importance from each address . Such as people places things for all my yahoo addresses L same with Gmail addresses.

Someone is using my @me.com email Back when I first created my Apple ID ages ago, I created an email using the @me.com domain. I removed the iCloud email and now use my personal Gmail for my Apple ID. However, I think someone has been using my iCloud email address for their personal accounts - I've gotten emails for an Instagram account, Saks Fifth Avenue receipts, etc. (I guess the other person is living a nice and bougie lifestyle!) I don't see anyone accessing my Apple ID but it unnerves me someone is using my iCloud email. How can I mitigate this and is there a way to confirm that they don't have access to my Apple ID? Thanks!

Have you tried changing the password to the email account to see if that helps?
