No. The reason I say simply no, is not because it isn't possible but because your friend is full of crap.

I think the only way he could do this would be to infiltrate your computer with a program that will report back to him your keystroke or password entries. Then once he had your password he could access your account. You should have your computer protected with anti-virus and spyware software. You may also want to change your password periodically such as every 30 days.

The best way to find out if he's joking is to challenge him to prove it to you. In front of you. Curious, does he mean by using a CD in 'your' PC or his? If he says yours, the first two sentences of StrongFire's answer apply. I would add to what this person said by saying you shouldn't let your browser remember your login credentials for any important web sites (including email) and you shouldn't store login credentials unencrypted on your PC.

the only way is if he aobtains your password, there are three ways he could do this that i can think of. 1. Phishing, he could send you an Email that appears to be from gmail that then asks you to re-enter your username and password or otherwise trick you online into entering your details into a sight that appears to be G-mail 2.A keylogger, he could install a keylogger on either your PC or any PC you use. If you ever use his PC to log in be worried. 3. hacking the security accounts within your browser, though this is probably the hardest way to get the passwords as they are heavily encrypted
