receiving email from myself!

Lat night I received an email through my hotmail account from myself which obviously i didn't send...I didn't open it, but it just looked like spam...Is it likely to just be spam or have i been hacked and should i be worried?? I have changed my password, and was wondering whether to delete my account and get a new one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

It's spam. It's relatively easy for spammers to make an email look as if it's been sent from your own computer.

Thanks very much for your help! I thought it would be that, I just got a bit freaked though when I seen it was supposedly sent from my address.
