Windows Mail send random email attachments to unknown recipients without my knowledge.

Windows Mail send random email attachments to unknown recipients without my knowledge. The only reason I know this is a postmaster rejects opinion. How can I stop it?

original title: Windows e-mail viruses

If you use Windows Mail in Vista, then go to tools | Options | Security and check the box warn if other applications send by mail like you.  I think, however, that your email address is being spoofed by another infected machine and send e-mails disguised coming from you.  There is not much you can do about it.

Make sure that you machine is not infected by a virus scan (for example www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/) and search for malware (www.malwarebytes.org). But it may be that you or your machine that is responsible for sending spam that appears to come from your hand.

    You try to send a file larger than 20 MB.  Try to reduce the size of the attachment of zipping it or go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and select the option to break messages apart large.  However, many recipients servers will not accept messages exceeds 10 megabytes, then you could try to send via another method.  BTW, if you attach a file, it must be encoded to be sent by e-mail, and this coding adds about 30-50% the size.

  • Windows Live Mail sends several emails to the recipient and gets stuck in the Outbox

    My windows live mail sends multiple messages for one of my email accounts (and only one). It seems stuck in the Outbox and not appear in my sent items folder, but the buyer complains to receive up to 25 times. I uninstalled norton antivirus completely because I've heard of a similar problem with outlook, but have seen no improvement. Please help, it's making me look very unprofessional. I tried same emailing with my current antivirus disabled, but have not seen any improvement.

  • Windows Mail sends a single attachment in the form of several parts in several emails

    When I send an email with an attachment that is larger than approximately 100 KB, Windows Mail it sends multiple messages.  Here's what happens:

    I try to send a message with an attachment that is larger than 100 KB.  When the tasks window comes up, slot the tab 'task', he says:
     
    "Send 5 messages using"Silverstar".
     
    [The number 5 is just one example.  He tried to send anywhere from 2 to 9 messages instead of just the 1, it should be sent.  The number seems to be proportional to the size of the attachment.]
     
    The part of the progression of the window, said
     
    «Sending message 1 of 5 (part) 1 of 5...» "
     
    When the 5 messages are received, they are identical, with the original filename of the attachment automatically added to the subject line.  In all the messages received, the accessory itself is unopenable, and its name was changed to '5'].  When I opened the attachment that works, the other 4 have received emails are automatically sent to the deleted items folder.

    Who receives these messages often get a warning from the attachment suspicious or it is blocked by their anti-virus software.

    This problem just started suddenly after that Windows Mail worked fine for centuries.

     
    Here's what I tried to do to diagnose the problem:
    I checked all my internet and dial-up connections, but all parameters were normal.
     

    I thought that the problem could be caused by a virus or a worm, so I checked all my security settings and ran all my scans of security...  Avast! Antivirus, Postini, Spybot Search & destroy, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.  [I keep up to date and run fast analyses daily and weekly in-depth analysis.]   All the scans came negative.

     
    So, what should I do now?

    Come on in ' tools | Accounts | (electronic mail). Properties | Advanced tab "and make sure the checkbox"Break apart messages Ko upper (xx)"has not become activated accidentally."

  • Windows mail problem receiving emails - error 0x800CCC0F

    I have Windows mail 6.0.6000.16386 v..  For some time now, it has become progressively more reluctant to receive emails, to the point at which it now 'expires' leaving me with error 0x800CCC0F.  I can send emails without any problem, but need to use Webmail to retrieve messages.  Any ideas?  Bob.

    Try to compact and repair the database of WinMail (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  Attention also to the antivirus interference that may lead to problems (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  You can also try to remove your e-mail account, then closing and reopening WinMail and add it again.  Sometimes, the parameters for a given account are 'lost' and which solves the problem.

    You can also check to see if a webmail access works very well, if you have this ability.

  • Windows Mail does not open attachments, cannot open the PDF, JPEG attachments.

    June 29, 2009
    PROBLEM OPENING JPEG AND PDF ATTACHMENTS TO EMAILS: CANNOT RUN COMMAND.  GET HELP FROM COMMUNITIES.

    I went to communities and found this answer:

    FIX ATTEMPT N ° 1

    > VISTA PROBLEM
    > To correct pass them: -.
    > Windows Mail
    > Tools
    > Options
    > Security

    I have done this and it does not solve the problem.

    ATTEMPT TO FIX N ° 2

    So I went to my Antivirus, Avira Antivirus program.
    and I changed:

    Configuration > CUSTODY > SCAN when READING and WRITING > USE FILE EXTENSIONS LIST >

    And here, in the list of extensions of files to analyze and prevent, I deleted the list: JPEG, JPG, PDF.

    This does not solve the problem.

    FIXING NO. 3

    I also run the new MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS BETA.

    went to MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIALS (BETA). SETTINGS > EXCLUDE FILE TYPES > and added *.jpeg and *.pdf

    There was no change, when I tried to open the PDF attachment, I always received: "command failed implementation.

    FIXING NO. 4

    (By the way, I have nothing better to do in my office on Monday morning held that fix this bug for MSFT).

    I removed IE 8 on my system and actually removed all IE from my system, I'll stick with Mozilla.

    No change.

    CORRECTION ATTEMPT N ° 5

    I finally found an electronic bulletin board and followed the suggestions to save the file to my desktop and then
    Open with Adobe and it worked well.

    WHY CAN'T I OPEN JUST JOINED MS MAIL?

    OK, I found another thread with an answer that works.

    Why this answer doesn't work, I have idea of NF.

    Instead of opening the e-mail from a shortcut program, on the desktop and open the e-mail program on the start menu to:

    Go to: all programs, then select Microsoft Mail.

    Then the attachments will be opened.

    It worked for me, it's worth a try.

    Good luck to you.  I know that's no fun.

  • Windows mail sends no message and said and was error if I try to delete

    My Windows mail client, version 6, stopped sending messages that remain in the Outbox.  If I try to delete the message, it indicates an error has occurred and suggest that to consult the community.  Any ideas?

    Thank you. Installation of service pack 1 seems to have done the trick.  We have a second device also running Vista Home Premiun with service Pack 3, which has a similar problem - this time the email get sent, but a copy is left in the Outbox.  In addition, if windows mail is asked to run just after the start, it fails.  During my recent attempt error 0x800CCC0F were reported.  A new attempt normally succeeds.

    The hotfix download, KB951090, suggested in a response to a similar problem I used also failed on the other computer.  I'll try the tool suggested to see if it works.  Benachie7

    Windows Mail has returned my email. I've been using Yahoo Mail and somehow all got transferred to Windows Mail. (I must have clicked on something)? It also took all the messages that have been saved out of the server and are now available on Windows Mail on this one computer. Can Q: I receive my messages stay on the server? I can't old messages on the server? Can I go to Yahoo Mail and have my old posts back to the server? I really liked Yahoo Mail and prefer to continue to use it. I spent an hour on the phonw with AT & T Yahoo technical support and they could not understand what happened.

    If you do not use Windows Mail, why don't you set up an account there? He did not by himself. If you do not want it: tools | Accounts and delete the account.

    A1: Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.

    A2: The only way to deliver the messages on the server must send to yourself. However, that will change all the message headers.
