My contacts receive e-mails from me that I didn't send it please can you advise me what to do.

Hello

Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make. Of course, it does
it look like you or the other person has sent the e-mail. Someone intercepted an email and
It may not be you who caused him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
or even someone could have sent an email on your behalf to someone else who has been
compromise. Your friend can access headers and block the real senders of
those who will change often.

  • 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!

  • Cannot receive e-mail from specific sender

    I was sent an important e-mail from the Student Finance regarding my student loan, but on student finance site it says that users of microsoft accounts cannot receive e-mail from them and I need to contact my provider.  I find the Microsoft support Web site very difficult to navigate and have not been able to find a phone number for a hotline.  Maybe you can help me understand how to get microsoft to allow funding student emails to send to microsoft accounts?

    Ok. Now that I know it is a Hotmail account, please ask the experts Forum Hotmail here and give them when you post a link.

    These messages are never true. Microsoft does not have lotteries, and
    Microsoft does not send e-mails.

    It is a complete scam. Do not respond to it.

  • Why I have not received e-mails from the last 2 days?

    It seems that my account has been hacked. All my contacts were deleted and some of my emails from my inbox sent have also been removed. Quite simply, I can't receive emails. I tried to use my son's account to see if there is no message, but nothing whatsoever, just, I don't get the emails. What can I do to start getting emails again and maybe even get all my contacts back?

    Send you an email and see if you receive?  If this isn't the case, then there are probably a problem with your account.   If you get it, you may have no emails in the last 2 days (or if you are unsure that you did, just on).  If you use an e-mail program, go to the place on your online account and see if the emails are there - then the problem is that they are not transmitted for some reason any (it could be your e-mail program or it could be the provider - difficult to say at this stage).

    You need to discuss with your email provider (one that provides you with e-mail service - perhaps your ISP, but maybe someone else entirely).  They are the ones who can access these things on your account and understand what is the problem (or help you to fix your computer's settings so that you get emails again).

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry 8330 smartphones cannot receive e-mail from the ISP

    I tried and tried to set up my own domain mail server to receive e-mail. I even picked up the phone to Sprint and they tried, but we are unable to read incoming messages. Sending works fine.

    I think that I followed it to down to the fact that I use the mail server's 'pop' in the name if the Blackberry Internet Service thinks its an IMAP4 e-mail account, it is not. My server name is "mondomaine.fr", without mail or pop in front of the name. I can't understand how to change this setting advanced since the Blackberry or on the site of Sprint, even though I see the setting as IMAP4.

    Any ideas?

    It turns out that the firewall on my Blackberry settings were set to block all messages from BIS. I had removed the battery because of a condition of hanging a few months ago, and I guess that this reset that firewall setting. If I wasn't a geek, I never would have figured this out and Sprint and this forum was no help at all.

    Thought I'd know others where they have the same problem. You need to go to Options > Security Options > firewall > and look for the check mark next to Blackberry Internet Service and uncheck the box. Then save. E-mail started downhill a few minutes.

  • How to avoid receiving e-mails from commercial sites

    Original title: unsubscribe e-mail

    Is there a way to prevent the receipt of e-mails from a commercial site that does not take into account your request should be removed from their mailing list?

    About all you can do is to set up a message rule to send these messages to a junk folder.  Verizon may these features via webmail (such as block spammers), but you should check their Web site.

  • I received an email with songs that I didn't not buy what is a phishing e-mail?

    Just curious to know if it would be a phishing e-mail. Said that I bought 3 songs the amount is in pounds and I am in the States. So I thought that it is one of these just phishing emails try to dispute the charges to get my personal info with me. I would be OK? I have not seen any invoice attached to my credit card on the account. Thank you. Not so computer savvy, tim

    Yes, more than likely it is. You can simply delete the email, or you can send to Apple to [email protected] and then delete.
