    It seems that the only thing they have is your email address that is not desirable, but not a disaster. I suggest you (in this order):

    1 scan you PC for malware using at least 2 good name * anti-malware products. Assuming that you have a product of real-time protection in place (for example, Norton, Microsoft Security Essentials) use it as a. The other could be the free www.malwarebytes.org demand scanner.

    2. now that your pretty confident that your PC is free of malware change your password for a very tough - it is one of the most important things you can do to secure messaging accouunts (such as Hotmail). For advice about strong passwords, see:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/passwords-create.aspx

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/pc-security/password-checker.aspx .

    Always use a different password for each different account otherwise if an account is hacked other accounts is more vulnerabe to be hacked too.

    Finally, if you are really worried then change your e-mail account and close the one they know.

    Hello CharoltteOAH,

    Mail applications and people don't work that way. You must manually enter your contacts in the people application.

    If you have set up a Hotmail account or Outlook.com in your e-mail application, contacts you enter here or People.live.com will synchronize on the people app.

  • Add address of the sender to the address book using filtaquilla?

    When the sender is not in the address book, I want to give the user an option to add it. Is this possible with filtaquilla?

    There is a filter action, provided by FiltaQuilla, to "Add sender to the address list", and among all the proposed locations, your address books are included.

    But I see no way easy to offer the user a dialog to allow him to choose or not to do. Perhaps a javascript maven could do something here.

    Any sender can easily be added to the address book by clicking on its name/address in the header of the received message. Maybe you can use a filter just to highlight the messages from unknown senders in order to prompt the user to consider adding to their address book. Or you can create a saved search to collect such messages. Then, their mere presence in this saved search folder would indicate their status is unknown.

  • Computer account simple add to group

    Hey all,.

    I'm doing something very simple, or what should be simple.  I am trying simply to add a computer account to a group with vRA with vRO.  Sounds simple with this workflow, add computers to the group members.  However, I need to spend in the channels.

    I could get the converted channels (or thought) to correct complex data types.

    Ad:usergroup

    Table / AD:ComputerAD.

    The part of the computer account works fine with this code (stolen from here)

    var computer = ActiveDirectory.getComputerADRecursively (computerName);

    System.log ("count of the computer:"+ computers.length ");

    for each {(pc computer)

    System.log ("computer audit:" + pc.name);

    If (computerName.toLowerCase () is {pc.name.toLowerCase ()})

    System.log ("found computer:" + pc.name);

    return the pc;

    }

    }


    Found anything so throw exception:

    throw ' not found corresponding computer: "+ ComputerName;»

    I tried to do the same for the group with this code.

    userGroup var = ActiveDirectory.searchExactMatch ("UserGroup", userGroup_str, 1);

    System.log ("user control:" + userGroup).

    It fails.  When I click on the variable after the fact, I see the computers variable looks appropriate such that it has the DN, etc. etc.  When I go to the other variable, it doesn't look good.  When you use this code to add items (the account to the Group)

    userGroup.addElements (adServer);

    I get this error.

    15:08:26.669 15/05/21] [I] TypeError: cannot find the addElements function in the DynamicWrapper (Instance) subject: [AD_UserGroup]-[class ch.dunes.ad.object.UserGroup] - VALUE: usergroup rest the DN of the group is here...

    I'm not manipulating the table correctly, and I'm obviously not an expert.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to set up "Add sender to address book."

    Somehow, I lost all my contacts! How can I add the sender of an e-mail to my address book on a base with a single click. I think I tried all avenues without success. Did I miss something? Thank you

  • in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

    In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

    *********************

    You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.
