   That was one of the most round about ways to ask how to hack   
   hotmail/yahoo I have heard in some time.  Just create a new account.   
   Use valid information that her ex doesn't know if she is that worried.   
   If someone really got her email account, the mails stored there are   
   probably gone anyway.
