Spam sent to contacts in the sent folder

These last two weeks I had spams sent from my hotmail account. I've changed the password several times, most recently yesterday to a complex password using numbers and letters of symbols. Even now, I have more spam that was sent from my Hotmail account. I see these messages in my sent folder, see "Delivered" in my Inbox. My family tells me these emails.

I rarely use my account Hotmail, its mainly here for subscription and FB reviews. What can I do to stop this as change my password doesn't seem to help. I have run scans for viruses on my computer at home and show no virus.

Hi RebeccaNicole,

As you mentioned you use Hotmail, I recommend that you post your question in Windows Live Solution Center for assistance.

  • When I click "not spam" on a message in the "junk" folder, the content of the message is changed

    the message seems to be moved, but the content is changed

    Re: when I click "not spam" on a message in the folder "undesirable."
    by "did not" I assume you mean 'delete '.
    by the "junk" folder, I assume you mean that the folder "Deleted" or "trash".

    I guess you mean:
    When I click "not spam" on a message; in the "junk" folder, the content of the message is changed.
    Until the message "Deleted" shows in the "Deleted" folder, but seems to have changed the content.

    Try to make the folder "Deleted".
    Right-click on the "Deleted/trash" folder and select "Properties".
    Click the 'repair file '.
    Click on 'OK '.

  • How can I find my sent folder and trash and my spam folder? No present more in the left panel.

    Until today, I could access my SENT, TRASH, SPAM, folders etc. from a list on the left side of my screen or by clicking the "inbox" tab icon in the corner of the very top left of my screen of Thunderbird. (The little envelope with the green arrow pointing to the top immediately followed by "Inbox"). Now, it is totally insensitive.

    I click on View/Toolbars/and all four are verified - Mail toolbar, the menu bar, status bar, the quick filter bar

    I click Show folders / and 'All' is checked.

    I am desperate... If I lose messages sent, I will have lost tons of work for my nonprofit. I have Thunderbird for years and years and NEVER had anything like that happen. I can sent you screen caps,... whatever it is, but please help me find this info.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    When I closed all open tabs and then clicking on the remaining "Inbox" tab, the drop-down list contained the choice "Close other tabs"... but it is grayed out.

    I have solved my problem, but goes to the computer of a friend with Thunderbird and then study its configurations and could still access my Envoy, trash and spam folders just by dragging the left edge of the Thunderbird "inbox" to the right, revealing the other folders in the control panel. (Curiously, with email from Thunderbird to my friend, under display/layout (from the menu bar), there is an option to check the 'folders pane", but who was Ghost out before I dragged the left edge of my Thunderbird to reveal this part of the file.

    Thank you for your help.

  • Sent messages appear twice in the "Sent" folder

    Whenever I'm using Thunderbird 38.1 on Windows 10 to send a message, the message is saved twice in the "Sent" folder I don't have an account with Thunderbird. If I delete this message, the single message sent is displayed twice in the folder "deleted".

    Also, is it possible for me to get rid of the files the? I never got a message in them, and I see no need of them. If they are useful, can I at least integrate with records above them, which contain all messages on my email account?

    1. it is indeed a problem with outlook.com.

    Simply right-click on the account in the folders pane and select settings.
    Copies and records say Thunderbird does not make a copy of the mail sent anywhere.

    2. that depends on your account is IMAP or pop.

    • If it's POP, you can combine

    In the account settings > server settings > select advanced use global inbox instead of the Inbox for this account.
    Note in this case to any mail account records in local folders first that account records will be more visible after the change.

    • If IMAP is all I can suggest use unified folders view. This is the view (alt + V) menu > folders > unified.

    Local folders are local storage. In the case of an IMAP account, it is very important. Move messages to local folders removes the mail from the server, so you can archive mail on your computer you want is no longer online. You can also use local folders to make copies of important mail if you have two chances to lose.
