someone is using my email address to send emais. I tried to reset my password but I am not able to. He says that the answer to my secret question does not. I know I'm getting the correct ansewer. Help, please.
Hi, Catherine.
You'd better post in the Windows Live Solution Center-Hotmail like that is dedicated to Windows Live Hotmail.
If you have not implemented alternative methods to check your Hotmail credentials, I suggest do it after your account is returned. For more information, see Security Hotmail to protect and recover your account .
Good luck!

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

Spam is sent from my email account. I ran Norton 360 and windows of scanning. Norton detected 45 threats and windows none, which tells me that my system is now clean. But the problem persists. What can I do next?
E-mail may not be sent from your machine. Spammers usurp email addresses all the time. Nothing you can do about it.

Prevent the sendout spam using my email address
De : Allen
My email box is full of "returned and Undelivarable Messages" using my e-mail address as sender. Some are in foreign languages. How can I stop someone from using my email address to send mass spam e-mail? My antivirus programs and spyware do not seem to help.
De : Malke
You can not. A spammer would have got your address because your email address is in the address book a friend on the computer infected friend. Or could have clicked on a spam message (sending that message "unsubscribe" to a spammer allows them just to know that they have a direct email address). Or maybe you gave your email address to a company without a good privacy statement or an evil that lied about their privacy policy. Your computer is perhaps even infected and spammers now have your address.
All you can do is:
1 make sure that your computer is free from virus/malware so that you know that you are not guilty of sending spam.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
2. get rid of this email address and make more sense to give a new. Use a "disposable" for spam free email account.
3. use filtering, both at the level of the web server in your mail client if you use an anti-spam. You have usually no control over the filtering of spam on your web server except to turn it on and possibly have white/black lists.
Here are some links to help you understand spam and what you can do to limit your exposure to it:

My MAC friends tell me NOT to use icloud email address.
My MAC friends tell me NOT to use icloud email address.
They advised me that because they claim that icloud email address cannot be deleted. I speak no deletion of an Apple or iCloud account. I'm simply talking about the ability to delete an icloud email address.
They tell me to use Gmail, Yahoo or AOL, as these companies allow you to erase / delete an email address. It just looks good to me. I'm trying to get the best advice.
Thank you
ICloud e-mail address is provided for you once you've created an Apple ID (which is the same as your email address valid)
Your iCloud email address is also an alias of your Apple ID and Yes, you can change your username (email address) Apple

My junk mail is to get term with mail that is sent using my email addresses. How can I stop this?
I can't block emails from myself, I sometimes need to send things, so I got them at a later date.
I know that I can view the source of the message, but I just want to stop this garbage that runs through for me.
Can anyone help?
There is not really a way to do it. Just like you cannot block spam from your mailbox home - anyone can send you mail and anyone can use a false address 'return' that makes it look like it came from you.
In fact, it is incredibly easy (only 10 letters typed) to send an e-mail that looks like it comes President @ whitehouse.gov. That's how spammers do, because there is no check on email (I wish the people who invented the email 40 years ago had thought of that), but it is not just.

Someone is using MY email address. In my balls was a * consignment sent from MY eddress. How can someone else use my email address? What can I do about it?
Spammers use other peoples addresses all the time. It's easy. The only thing you could really do is change your address. On the positive side, they usually do this method for a few days and then change the address, then it must stop. -

Why Microsoft isn't an option in their email clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, Live Mail, hot Mail) block IP addresses that send spam?
Looks like something aside server. Not to mention that change IPs and when you go to IPv6, the whole game changes.
What email client you use that gives you this option now?
You can block entire domains... (Outlook in any case, not sure about the rest.)

Hello
I bought a new HP printer and I want it to use email ePrint of the HP printer, it replaced. How can I do this?
I have connected on HP and I saw my old printer and the new printer device. I removed the old printer and tried to use the same email address, but he said he was caught.
Thank you very much
Peter
Hello Peter,.
I'm sorry to inform you, that this is not possible. A specific ePrint address cannot be assigned to different devices... Your old address can not be used on any other device.
You can select a different unique email address for your new printer.
