Email address being altered for Reply

My reply to an email from a friend, also on Btinternet, wasn't received.  When I checked my Sent Mails the message was there but the To address had been changed from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]".  The change must have happened at my end when I clicked the Reply button and I have replicated the fault.  What is going on?

Hi.
Do you still have the original email ?
Are you sure that the email was from your friend, and not a spammer who by chance has either used the friend's email address as the "From" address, but set a "Reply to" address - or the account has been hacked, and when an email is sent from your friend, a "Reply-To" address has been set.
It's not your end, but your friend. They need to check their settings in email (probably webmail - so use the Options/Mail Options/Mail Accounts, pick the account and see if "reply to address" is set).
They need to alter their password too.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

  • Can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud

    can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an icloud email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud.can any one help me about this.

    It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked.  This article explains:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
    If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password.  This is an anti-theft measure.

  • Forgot my email address and password for old accou...

    I have forgotten my email address and password for my old skype account. -_-" I made this one so I could post on here. I was wondering if I could get my old account back. The username is kaseynevada. I would greatly appreciate it. And even if you can't change my password if you could just remind me what email account I used with my that account that would be awesome. I'm pretty sure I can figure out the password for my email.

  • Controlling which email address is used for group members?

    Howdy Folks,
    Is there a way to control which email address is used for contacts that you have put into a group in Address Book?
    For example, say John Smith is a member of an Address Book group I have created. John's Address Book entry contains two email addresses for him, one for work and one for home.
    When I send an email to the group I want to have it sent to John's work email address.
    I have experimented by editing the entry and making sure the desired address is the first one listed for the individual in question, but that doesn't do the trick.
    Thanks in advance for any tips!

    Launch Address Book, choose Help > Address Book Help and type "group addresses" in the search box. Read the article titled "Selecting which addresses to use for members of a group". Does that solve your problem?

  • I don't remember the email address I used for my apple ID

    I don't remember the email address I used for my apple ID. I got locked out of my iPod, cause I didn't remember the four-digit code.
    Now its asking me to enter the ID and password. I can't even remember the password either. I think I remember the questions/answers. I can't start over and get a new account.

  • Arbitrary email addresses in send and reply fields

    I have been trying to figure this out for a while, so apologies if it seems obvious. I have a domain foo.com and use many different addresses [email protected], [email protected], etc to distinguish mail from different senders. For example, if I set up an account at amazon I give an email address of [email protected] to allow simple spam filtering and categorization. Then I open a gate in mac mail by adding a rule saying allow mail to "[email protected]". All these addresses (and there are MANY of them) are directed through a single account by my host service. Though the "to" field distinguishes them, the account they come in under is associated with an official email address of "[email protected]".
    Sometimes I need to send an email from one of these addresses. In particular, certain sites require an email+reply confirmation process which demands that the reply come from the [email protected] address. Often the original is sent via a web form, so mac mail plays no role. In mac mail, I can set the default to reply from a fixed address (from the list of official account email addresses) or from the official address of the "account" I last looked at, etc. I can also select from a pull down list of the official account email addresses. However, without adding a bzillion email addresses to the list by hand (and selecting or changing the prefs each time), I can't seem to simply modify the reply-from address or the sent-from address to be arbitrary. I want to do 1 of 2 things:
    1. Easily and directly edit the sent from or reply from field of a single email without changing any default settings or going into a preferences pane.
    or 2. Set a default of "reply-from" the address to which the email was addressed (rather than the account).
    I imagine the 2nd is problematic because there is no way to identify the address which is "me" in the recipient line if it is not known (like the "official" account address). I know how to do the 1st with sendmail, but that kind of defeats the purpose of using mac mail for integration.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Cheers,
    Ken

    Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't quite help. I don't want to have to go into preferences and add a new address each time I reply. There are over 100 of these addresses and most get used infrequently. I want to simply edit a field in the email directly. The drop down menu solution doesn't work with a large and constantly growing set of addresses. Imagine you have [email protected] through [email protected] on your domain bar.com. If you get an email addressed to [email protected] you wouldn't want to have to go into preferences and add that to the allowed list before being able to reply. I want to simply reply as [email protected] There are legitimate reasons to set stuff up like this. I just want to be able to edit the "from" field in an email message the same way I can edit the "to" field. It would be equally frustrating if I had to go into preferences to add a recipient's email address every time I wanted to send one out.

  • HT204053 My old email address is used for my iCloud and I can't change it to my new apple ID

    I can't change my iCloud ID to my new apple ID. My iCloud ID is my old email address which is no longer in use.

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Email Address used only for Skype is now receiving...

    My [email protected] email address which has only ever been used by me to register for Skype is now receiving a lot of junk mail. Has Skype been careless with my details or are they in the business of selling personal information or is there another reason?

    at&t has something on their website as well about reporting fraud (email)
    Check the e-mail fraud examples to see if you have received a known phishing scam. If your e-mail looks like one of the examples, delete it. AT&T may be aware of the current fraudulent activities and working with the appropriate agencies to resolve this issue.
    If your e-mail doesn't match any of the examples, please forward the e-mail to AT&T Security.
    Option 2: If the phish does not resemble a message from AT&T but is from a AT&T address, send an e-mail to [email protected]
    Option 3: For all other cases (non-AT&T messages from other e-mail accounts, bank scams, etc.) send an e-mail to [email protected]
    So looks like you want to check the examples to see if it's a known scam,   if it is not then forward it to the [email protected] to report it.
     Verizon also has a way for you to report a threat to them as well but looks like it may be more geared towards their own customers, like AT&T does for theirs.
    If you receive a suspicious email, you should not reply to it, nor should you open any attachments, click on links contained in the email or provide any information in response to it. You can report suspected fraud involving Verizon or Verizon Wireless to [email protected] or [email protected], respectively. Please include the word "phishing" in the subject line of your email and provide as much information as possible about the fraudulent activity or message.
