New phone Xmas day - hacked E-mail account??

Hi all,
Could really do with some advice.
Got a new Galaxy S5 yesterday - Used the Samsung switch app to transfer everything from old S3 over to S5
Had some issues with my contacts, so did Google back up on old phone and when I logged into new phone, all contacts were there, correctly.
Anyway, checked my e-mails this morning (Outlook 2007) and had loads of undeliverable and out of office replies to an e-mail I didn't send - If I send e-mail on my phone, a copy automatically goes into my outlook outbox and there I found this rogue email. Unfortunately, it doesn't say who the recipients are but, I'm getting automated replies from people I don't even know
I've changed my password for Outlook and also Google but is there anything else I can do and does anyone know how this could have happened?
Many thanks
