Accounts Hotmail send email to all addresses in the address book when the PC is off.
Yesterday at about 7.25 GMT my hotmail address has been used to send emails 8, each of them the maximum number of addresses possible for a single e-mail, covering between them all the addresses in my address book.
Each of the 8 mails had an attachment, which resembled a hot link to the web. Each of the links 8 web was different, but all have the feb.php extension. People who have actually opened the emails said web pages did not exist yet, but no doubt the web link contained a malicious link.
One of the recipients was my wife, and today his hotmail address has been used in the same way. Between the whiles we had bought Spybot software and he had met PC everything and got rid of suspicious data, so I am puzzled that this always happening to my wife. I changed my hotmail password and it will soon change his, but all of our recipients will have to do the same thing, or is it too late?

I have run several accounts based on the same server of my work account by e-mail. They all work very well except that if I received an email on my default account, and then try to send a response, the response is not sent and ends again in my Inbox. All other emails that I send from this account by default even normally go and are copied to my inbox sent according to normal. The problem is just with the emails that I am responding. I rechecked all of the parameters, but you can see nothing unusual. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

BlackBerry Smartphones sending Emails using different addresses
I use gmail and I have all of my other addresses before their mail to my gmail account. However saw only my gmail on my blackberry account I cannot respond to the messages by using the e-mail address they were sent too. This example gets confused professors sometimes when they send something to a school email address and get a response from a very different gmail address. Is there a way I can just receive e-mails from my account gmail on my blackberry but still send emails using all my addresses. Help, please.
No, not exactly.
One, your system to redirect other accounts on the single account is not the best set upward after all. You could have all of his accounts pushed directly to the unit, unless there is some overiding issue prevents you from doing it. This configuration would allow ease of response from the same account to which it was sent.
On a BlackBerry, he will answer ONLY to the account to which the e-mail was sent. You can't change that, and we can 'send using' an e-mail account, you have pushed to the device, which is logical.
However, in your configuration of BIS, where you have enabled the gmail pushed to your BlackBerry, you can define a section of ' answer to "where you can enter your school account, or whatever that you choose. This will not change the sending account, but it will give an appropriate response to the address.

TB c. 24.0, Win 7 Pro. Change of ISP. I use Outlook 2007; woman uses TB, same box. TB change username & email address in the settings of the server & outgoing server & default value. E-mail address changed in all address books and Contact lists. Now the TB still shows the old Correo electronico in < from > when reply or forward. It's confusing beneficiaries, who have sent their responses on a now non-existent account offshore. Check the Contacts Windows - empty. Check my Outlook 2007 - all Contacts changed appropriately. How do I kill this old TB e-mail address when it is not yet listed more - except when we try to reply or forward?
Thank you! I don't remember the old data (ports, password, etc.) to re-create the old account to my wife several months ago and with a different ISP - I had written all this down, but it was destroyed in a fire at home - but you put me on the right track. I created a new account (sub?) via file > new > account existing with new information, verified mail he was working and then deleted the new subaccount. Now that works. Duh.

Hello
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.How to read the message headers

3. is this problem only happens with Hotmail account?

BlackBerry 10 can not send emails to someone, not in the contacts list
Brand new here and searched this forum and elsewhere for this problem, but the gaps came.
I got my Z10 launch day at the Canada and he likes most of the time. Most of the questions I had were actually lack of Telus. (Implemented my Telus email account has been a long nightmare of the week and the lack of Telus all!) A major nuisance, however, is that I am not able to simply someone send an email by typing its address in the bar. For the email to go through, I have to add the person as a contact, even if it will be a message of time.
I'm doing something incredibly stupid? Or is it simply not possible to do?
Thanks for any help.
Mike
If just after the announcement, I try again for the umpteenth time send an email to someone, not in the list of contacts, and you don't know, it works as expected. Every other time I tried, e-mail address blushed and was surrounded by quotation marks, once I have support on submit.
Not sure why it does not work as expected now, but I'll take it!
