Mail apparently sending emails, that I did not write?

So, I was invited on the strange emails, usually carrying suspicious links, people on my contacts received. That happened a few times after that I got my MacBook Pro, but it ended shortly after he started, and I don't remember what I did to stop it, if anything. Now, recently I was told that this goes again, in the last days - maybe even weeks - except now emails claim that they are sent through my iPad Pro. The most curious thing about this, is that none of these emails are in my "sent folder" on any of my devices.

I had a friend that it happened to a couple of years back. It has a MacBook Pro, an older model as mine and like what happens to me now, it was e-mails with suspicious links sent through her e-mail address, without his knowledge and also not found in his file "sent" when he watched. It didn't happen for him in quite awhile, but I don't know what could be causing it first.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it possible to fix it? Change my password might be a possible solution, but that raises the question of how the original password was acquired to allow this to occur initially and may therefore be very temporary at best.

It is very easy to send an email with the address of someone else as the sender. The same technique is used in phishing attempts: http://www.phishing.org/resources/phishing-spoofing/

So the fact that a person receives mail with your name on it, does not necessarily mean, it came from your account. And there is nothing you can do about it.
