Hotmail account: I can't receive e-mail from addresses that are not already in my contacts list

I can't receive e-mail from addresses that are not already in my contacts list, for example the library.  My account has been hacked recently, and I have informed Windows CE.  I then installed Avast security.  Since only known e-mail senders spend their emails.  Help, please.

  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

It seems that Avast is blocking messages from anyone not in your contacts list (much too tight fixed).  Disable the function of checking email and see if that solves the problem.  If so, run it without the option of e-mail enabled - it does not really help as long as you take normal precautions (as not to open attachments from people you don't know / trust and things like that).  If you don't know how to disable this feature, contact technical support Avast (I do not use the product so I don't know how, but it's probably under Options or something like that).  If this does not work, try to go to Microsoft Security Essentialshttp://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html where I know that this problem is not happen and see if that solved the problem.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • When file/collection, how can I delete all the related items that are not on my last composition?

    Hello, I have a great difficulty using the file/collection a large file I did months ago, because when I use it, the file is created, but it takes 2.5 to space! compared to others of my works, taking almost 1 TB of files, this one is too big and I think by deleting some files, but I don't want to make a mistake, so I wanted to ask here, if it is possible to take a main composition and only do a file/collection of this composition, objects and elements that serve there (the last I made on my account at least, with the elements used on that, because I think that there are many (if not a large part of them) files and elements that are not used in the final version, as scenes of the version beta of my work, the problem is the composition is too long and have a lot of different archives or drop movies then it could take forever to do it manually...

    Thanks for reading me! I hope that this is a solution...

    It's a two-step process:

    1. reduce your project to the desired composition.

    2 recover your files.

  • Why can my customer receive e-mails from my iPad but not my IMac?

    Hello, I have an iMac OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10.5, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and an iPad. Last year, I worked with a client, have no difficulty emailing back. I use Yahoo Mail. Recently, my customer migrated from Lotus notes to Outlook (version 2010) and cannot receive my email from my iMac. Only they can, however, make from my iPad. It's the explanation of their IT Department. "I have recently gone from Lotus to Outlook. When I was on Lotus our security does not come into conflict. When I migrated to Outlook the Outlook security is that collide with your security is why I do not receive emails sent through your computer. Safety on the iPad is different and is compatible with my computer which is why emails sent from your iPad come to me. "We tried to check SPAM, junk mail, basic troubleshooting. I'm not big on technique and I need to be able to send this email to the person of my computer. Help, please!

    Is the address of the customer e-mail different since he switched to Outlook? If so, have you changed his e-mail address in your Contacts? My guess is when you type an email to that customer and you start to overlay in his name in the of: domain, Mail automatically fills to its OLD yahoo.com email address.

    If you have two email addresses on your iMac for this customer - one for his old account from yahoo.com and one to his new Outlook account, delete the OLD e-mail address to your Contacts.

  • How to remove 'hidden' contacts that do not appear in my contact list in Windows Mail?

    I have a contact in mail. I guess that it was put there by a few emails I inadvertently opened. Anyway when I try to fill in the "to" box on a message that I normally get an AutoComplete list, I put in the first letter of the name, if there are several names starting with the same letter. Now, when I start typing a name with the letter 'L', instead of the 4 names in my contact list that start with 'L', I get the full name of a spammer, let's call him "loser at lumphead dot com. When I went to my list of contacts to remove this stupid I couldn't find this address! So I have 3 questions. Where Mail did in fact raise the file which has the coordinates? How an address to get into the system like that and stand out of the list of contacts? Most important: how to remove a contact 'hidden' like that?

    Thank you for your quick response.
    No, Shawns response suggested to go to the C:\users\myname\contacts file and delete it from there. I had tried before when I tried to locate the list of contacts somewhere outside Mail (sorry I forgot to mention that). But the contacts Vista file did not show this 'hidden contact' either. But further down the page, I found an answer to a similar problem. Gary van in reply to "re: delete contacts autocomplété" gave this link.

    http://www.Winhelponline.com/articles/264/1/utility-to-clear-recently-used-email-addresses-in-Windows-mail.html

    This leads to a file called winmailmru.zip. This tool allowed me to bring up a window showing ALL the contacts which it previously 'hidden', with options to remove them. I selected and deleted. Problem solved.
     
    But I still wonder: where was hiding the contact "hidden"? If it wasn't not in Contacts of Vista directory where Mail was from?  How this winmailmru.exe utility it found? It is also strange that the contact in question seems to have the ability to bypass the selection popup box that shows generally all other contacts beginning with the letter typed and force his way into the 'To' box, excluding the possibility of chooseing another contact. I am happy that my immediate problem is solved, but I wonder if the ability of a person sending a mail to 'hide' a normal contact and overide process in Mail is a security problem or just a nuisence? Anyway, thanks again for putting me on the path to the solution.

  • Firefox 4 for MAC: How can I sort the bookmarks by name that are not in the files?

    Solution in site and forum, Firefox does not work on Firefox 4 for Mac, i.e. Control View-Sidebar-bookmarks, etc.

    All the Favorites are in folders.

    • The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (view > toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    • The bookmarks Menu folder stores the bookmarks that you see in the menu bookmarks and create via ' bookmarks > bookmark this Page "or" bookmark this link "in the context menu.
    • The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores which inserts created bookmarks by clicking on the star on the right end of the address bar.

    You can right click on a such main folder (root) to sort the bookmarks in that folder.

  • You can add a mouse to a slide that has not already been registered with one?

    Sometimes I can easily copy - paste a slide, use the image overlay and utalize the movement of the mouse and minipulate the path. Is it possible to simply add a mouse to an average slide?

    I sappose I could add a picture of the cursor and then add "movement"...

    Any other ideas?

    Yes, you can of course. Go to insert a Standard object, and you'll see mice as one of the elements. You can then define where it begins and ends and the path it takes.

  • Mail from a sender has not received in Outlook Express

    I am with outlook express for my e-mail and have oneseniors as my ISP, but I can't receive e-mail from a * address email is removed from the privacy *, they sent me a little but I t I have them.

    You cannot receive messages from a sender? As you can see the e-mail address has been removed, but this is not important. Send a test message to that person and ask them to use the response to send to you and see if you get that. If you do, they don't have your correct e-mail address in their address book.

    Do you mean to create a clickable hyperlink while composing a new mail?

    Just above the text box that allows you to enter the text of the message, there usually a bar of buttons with buttons to add updated text in shape like the bold and italic.

    This toolbar can also have a button to activate a clickable hyperlink text link (look for a string like button).

    You can select the text and click on this button to activate the link into a clickable hyperlink.

    If you can not find the button, and then move all the to check the ToolTip of each.
