Someone got into my e-mail by figuring out my password and then sent all my e-mails anonymously to my husband by mail. Can I sue for this?

All the proof I have is the manila folder that she sent and the letter she wrote. Also when I tried to close my e-mail account it said that I could not close my account because a Microsoft account was linked to my account and that I needed to close that one first. I never created a Microsoft account. The person who I’m sure that did it is my husband’s ex-girl friend. They have a kid together and she cannot get over him. This is the second anonymous letter she sends besides some other things. We are sure it’s her, but we just don’t have enough information to prove it.
