Email recipient shows attachment to email, but I didn't send one

Strange story here and I need some help so it doesn't happen again.
My boyfriend sent an email to a realtor accidentially using my email account instead of his. It was a simple written inquiry. The realtor replied that he was confused, not only because the email was sent by me, who he doesn't know, but there was an attachment photo in it of a local politician. He contacted that person who had no idea why I would be emailing him her picture.
When he didn't hear back, by boyfriend emailed him again, this time with his own account. This is when he found out that this had happened.
I have the sent email. There is no attachment in it. I looked at the headers and full source and no attachment. So how did this happen?
Any ideas? I don't want it to ha

My message cut off there. What I was writing is that I don't want this to happen again. And thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Stefani

I can open my hotmail email but cannot reply or send new messages. this just started last week. Don't know why not. Is this a Firefox issue or a Microsoft issue? 'Cause it's near impossible to get Microsoft to get back to me. Hope you can help me.

I resolved both my problems. The problems with Walgreens is that my own Frontier internet connection is very slow and will allow only minimal downloads. When I used a Verizon Hot Spot to download pictures they downloaded without any problem. So I am working iwth Frontier to resolve my slow internet speed. The problem with pictures be syncronized to a gallery was resolved by using the Help column and the pictures were easily deleted by following their instructions.

Do you have your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) set correctly?

HT1277 I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

I have my Yahoo Mail "poped" over to Apple Mail. I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

Your outgoing mail server is different than your incoming server. Usually the outgoing mail server will have smtp in it. I noticed yours said "cannot send message using the server mail.wavecable.com". That sounds like an incoming mail server. Try setting your outgoing mail server to smtp.wavecable.com
I hope that helps.

My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again. I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

You could try asking MobileMe Support (I know you're on iCloud but there's no free support for that unless you have AppleCare: some people have haad success with MobileMe Support). Go to http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ww/ and select your country. In the next window click on a category to expand it, then on a subject to get a link to 'live chat'.

My MacBook is asking for a password to install a program, but I didn't set one.

My MacBook is asking for a password to install a program, but I didn't set one. I've just completely wiped my laptop due to corrupt files, which an Apple Genius in the store helped me with, and we didn't set a password. I'm now home and trying to download programs that I had on before, and it's asking for a password. I try to go to "change password" and it asks for the old before I can enter the new, but there is no old. What should I do?

Hello chilondon,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The password your Mac is prompting you for is your administrator password for the computer. If none of the attempts to enter it in worked, including leaving it blank, you can reset the password by following the directions in the link below.

Hi my name is Hajk and i got a friend that has a problem with her macbook, she gets a blue screen and cant log on. So i told her if she had an reinstall disk so that i could reinstall for her but she didn't get one with the macbook. what can she do ?

If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

Sent an email, but it did not show up in my sent folder. (Heard it fly off)
Any way to find it?
Thanks

In order for a call to show in recents, the call has to make it to the phone. If you're in an area of very poor signal, the call may never get to the phone but will go instead to voice mail, where your caller may or may not leave a message. I realize that doesn't explain what you seem to have seen recently. However, it would explain other instances where you've had no notification but a voice mail.
Best of luck.

Forgot security questions, have a rescue email but no option to send reset questions to rescue email

Hi
I have forgotten my security questions, and/or have never answered them before.
I have an alternate/rescue email address.
However when I attempt to answer the security questions i do not have an option to "Send reset security questions to rescue email......."
I have apple id and i know my password and i have a rescue email and i know that password as well. I have some credit on my account that I would like to use but cannot.
Also i have emailed them to ask them to reset my security questions to and send the link to rescue email but I have received a reply within 48 hours.
Please could someone advise

A rescue email address and an alternate email address are different settings/addresses on your account, the reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address.
If you aren't getting the link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset (it will by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

I am an iPad novice and whilst I have managed to set up my personal email, I have having trouble with my business email in that I can receive emails, but am unable to send and the message says 'this email address has been rejected by server'

That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.
