Scam Messages sent to my email account but not of anyone using my computer?

Hi when I accessed my email account this morning I noticed that I had a lot of delivery failure messages. Regarding the investigations into the reason why, I thought that an unknown person had somehow sent an email to everyone in my contacts list. When I checked my "sent" message box there is no trace on the e-mail. I have run Norton 360 on my laptop and it did not find any virus. I changed my password. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  • I used to have the date on my email accounts, but not now. How can I get that back?

    no date on the enamel of windows.

    If you double-click the message to open it in a separate window, you can see the date?  If so, then try to view | Columns and make sure that the date field is included.

    Otherwise, try compacting and repairing the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

  • emails sent from my account but not of/by me

    On several occasions, I've found that emails have been sent from my email address but I don't not sent them.  They seem to go to everyone in my contacts list and I know that when one or more fails to send. Emails are always to buy something online and have a website reference.

    In addition, there are two contacts in my contact list that I never added and I can't delete them.

    I have Norton 360 first Edition currently running.

    I'd appreciate any help to overcome the problem of the "automatic" email

  • text messages sent with an email address from a touch ipod duplicated on a second ipod touch using a different email address, but the two ipods are controlled by a parent with the same apple ID and password.

    Text messages sent with an email address from a touch ipod duplicated on a second ipod touch using a different email address, but the two ipods are controlled by a parent with the same apple ID and password.  This has happened recently.  My two girls have used their respective ipods and texting, without their messages of duplication for each of the other ipods for more than a year.  Somehow recently, both addresses seem to be synced with them or something, so that both see each and other messages.  I've recently updated two ipods, iTunes on my computer--not the cloud and added music for two ipods, but has not changed anything by email email settings or message I know.  Help, please!

  • Hotmail compromised and the e-mail sent from the account (but not by me)

    Hello.

    My hotmail account was accessed by someone other than me. In addition, they sent an email on my behalf * of my own account * to a friend. As the content is of a sensitive nature, it caused a lot of trouble for me.

    The person who consulted with my account was pretty sneaky to delete the email in the "sent" folder, but forgot the file deleted. If I was able to read and can say 100% that I never sent it me. I am very confused by the present.

    I have changed my password, but I would go at the bottom of this. I would like to know how my email was consulted in the first place, and more important again, if there is a way to find who did this, then I can take the case more far and possibly prosecute legal, as I feel that my privacy has been violated.

    I must point out that my password (at the time) has not changed. The one who did this, tact has left my account from what I can tell. Their agenda was just to send the mentioned e-mail, which leads me to believe that I probably know the person.

    On a note more and probably another case, I have a problem confirming my security information for more secure my account so that this does not happen. I wanted to add another phone number and e-mail, but it just repeat myself that when I try and click on the tab "validate":

    You added [email address] .com to your account, but it must be confirmed before you can use it.

    Note: You can use your computer approved to confirm this information, the sign from this computer, go on the account overview page and then click on confirm next to this information.

    I get a similar message when I try to confirm my phone number.

    Thanks for any help, because I am very stressed out of all this.

    I've had this year of email address and never been hacked before.

    You might well be a misinterpretation of the events. Another explanation is that one of your friends has a malware infestation. The malicious software causes the computer to send messages to all persons named in their address book.  The message is supposed to come from a person who is selected in the address book, but it's a subterfuge the message is actually the computer infected. This would explain why it is in your deleted items folder and not your sent items folder. Anti-spam on your computer defenses have identified the incoming spam message and put it where it belongs.

    It is generally not easy to identify who has the infected computer. In the only case that I met, it was possible to narrow down the identity of the infected computer from the list of people who receive messages. A close examination of the list revealed a name that was not known to all the others, except for one who had the infected computer. Anti-malware running on the infected computer software ended the avalanche of annoying messages

    You should be aware that what I have described is actually a very common way to distribute malicious software from one computer to another. Opening of the item deleted on your computer could lead to malware foothold on your computer and start a new wave of infected messages which, in this case, are sent from your computer to everyone in your address book. You must carefully check your computer for malware to make sure this does not happen or stop it if they started to be sent.

    Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

    Download and run SuperAntiSpyware (Free Edition)

    When talking to friends the problem, be very careful what you say that the charges can very quickly lose you your friends. Explain how you check your computer for malware so that they know how they can check their own computers. Let them do, and I hope that the problem will end.

  • Records related to the deleted email accounts are not deleted.

    Thunderbird (currently 24.6.0, Windows) current account settings window shows the folders the and RSS for RSS. I used to have 2 email accounts, but a long time ago I stopped using Thunderbird for them. When I removed the using the button 'delete account '. They were (and are) no longer appear.
    The other day, I went to transfer Thunderbird settings using MozBackup to another system. On this system, I could see the two accounts (including e-mail messages).
    Then, I checked in the Thunderbird profiles folder in Application Data. The accounts were still there.
    So my question is - how do I completely remove old email accounts. I read elsewhere that the e-mail account cannot be deleted. But the sub account in the profile folder folders can be deleted without causing other problems?

    Folder

    mail \server name
    IMAPMail\server name
    

    Delete server name records removes any residual mail account.

    Note the deletion of such a dossier for an active account is something of a disaster.

    If you are currently in the United States, then you must have a credit card US, with an address of billing in the United States, and then you can change for the US store. Without it, you wouldn't be able to change.

  • Messages sent from the wrong account

    I have 3 accounts gmail on T-Bird. When I send an email to an account, it goes to the recipient as if sent by one of the other accounts. two accounts of work and a private and I'm not really them mixed. Any suggestions?

    Y at - it with googlemail accounts?

    If you use googlemail smtp server to send, it inserts the address googlemail in sent messages. You are a few solutions:

    1. Set up specific googlemail smtp 'accounts', one for each ' from: ' address.
    2. Addresses non-googlemail account googlemail, allowing them to be used as ' from: ' addresses. If you do this, it may be appropriate to set the default address as additional identity in Thunderbird.
    3. Find an smtp server alternative non-googlemail. Maybe one offered by your ISP provider or by e-mail.

    In addition to all this, check in Thunderbird that he offered a suitable from: address. It will be by default using whatever account you happen to be open at the time you create a new message. Sale: addresses are available in a drop-down menu at the top of the form in which you write a message, even if the googlemail smtp server is ignoring this and silently to insert its own address.

    If it's a simple matter of you forget to check the From: address, there are to many Add-ons available to help with this, since a simple with color that requires you to make a choice, to more complex types, analyzing the message to which you answer. I find that these types are not quite as effective when starting a new e-mail messages, by opposition to forward or respond.
