Email worm? A friend tells me I sent him a multiplying email this morning (via gmail), which he now has received many times. What to do?

I sent an email to a friend via gmail, which is proliferating. He has now received the same email from me more than 8 times, and counting.  (I'm not using Apple Mail here in Mexico because it is cumbersome to login to RoadRunner or Me.com, whereas Gmail remains ready to go.)  Any instructions on resolving this issue are gratefully received.  ~eric.

The replicating has ceased. I've upgraded the answer to CORRECT.
Thanks.

Says it needs to be done within 48 hours. Is this legit? It gives me a link to go to but I am not sure if this is a scam. Also it's signed Yours faithfully "apple iguru"

  • TS3276 I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail.  What could be wrong ?

    I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail.  What could be wrong ?

    SMTP is the protocol used to send mail, where IMAP and POP are the protocols used to receive mail.  ISPs can have different servers for these protocols. 
    In this case, the specified receiving (IMAP or POP) server, or the receiving user and password credentials, are likely incorrect.
    What does the Connection Doctor diagnostic tool report?
    Mail.app's Window menu > Connection Doctor
    To check or change the settings, select Mail.app's Mail menu > Preferences... > Accounts and select the account you need to edit in the left column.
    The receiving information will be displayed for the selected Account, with either POP or IMAP shown.  Confirm with the ISP that your POP or IMAP mail settings are correct per the ISP's recommendations, as well.   And in general, IMAP is preferable to POP, if you have the option of using either of those with your ISP.

  • Cannot retrieve email this morning.

    CAN NOT retrieve email this morning. It just keeps trying without success. It's been appox. 3 weeks and I'm still having trouble with deleting emails. Verizon has increased the cost of the internet and has lowered their standards. As a retiree, I'm enbrassed to say I worked for this company for 25 yrs. Get it together Verizon.

    If you have another email account, try setting that up on your phone and try receiving an email.  If you can receive email with another account, then the problem's not with your iPhone; if you can't send anything then the problem is with your phone.
    If you either don't have another email account or you can't receive any email the you'll have to restore your iPhone with a backup created before you started having trouble.

  • Upgraded to ios6 this morning on iphone 4. Now my email will not work and the settings are correct

    upgraded to ios6 this morning on iphone 4. Now my email will not work and the settings are correct

    Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps that can apply to any iPad issue.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    None of these things may work, but without more specific information, they are a good place to start.

  • Thunderbird sent out 100+ scam emails this morning from one of my Gmail accounts.

    Thunderbird is my email software. It handles my email account from my ISP (used for private business), plus 2 other Gmail accounts one for family and one for the local camera club.
    This morning, some 100+ spam email messages were sent from one of the Gmail accounts, but accessed the address book of all 3 email accounts - most of the names in each address book are only unique to one address book and not duplicated across the other address books.
    I have Forefront, Karpersky and Norton running on the notebook, but nothing showing as a problem. And supposedly, Gmail is meant to scan emails before it delivers them.
    The scam emails are all similar - one word in the subject, but with a space in the word (ie De livered), a one line message saying I sent you a message, please open it and then a link to open.
    Please help.

    One anti virus is all any computer can cope with more simply means more false positive and more chance of none of them working.
    Now you say Thunderbired sent these mails. Did a message come up when you started Thunderbird asking to send unsent mails (as would happen if they were added to it's outbox while it was closed.)
    did you see anything saying Thunderbird was sending mail?
    Or is the mail actually from some web site that your logged into using your, say facebook, credentials that has now spammed your contacts list bacause you allowed to list on that web site.

    Thank you for your assistance.
    Unable to send or receive messages for the Verizon (xxxxxxxxx) account. The connection to the server has failed.

    Hi nerry1990,
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed so we can see connected devices:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:

  • HT201274 A update came on my phone 4s general and I hit it . It uploaded and shut down . When I tried to turn it back on it told me to hook up to iTunes and when I did it tells me to reset but if I do this I will lose all my contact and photo info. What c

    My iPhone 4S had an update for general and I hit it and the screen had a line that filled up and then the phone shut off , apron restarting it shows you to connect to iTunes and when I did it told me to reset my phone which will erase all my photos and contact data . Is there any thing I can do at this point to back out of the upload or finish it without losing info?Keep in mind that at this point my phone will not turn on it only comes on and shows and tells me to plug into iTunes . Please help

    There are many ways to back up photos and contacts on an iPhone:
    Photos - copy them to your computer with a USB cable; the phone will appear in Windows or Mac as a digital camera.
    Photos - Enable Photo Stream, which saves them to iCloud and syncs to your computers(s)
    Contacts - set to sync to any contact app on your computer (e.g., Outlook, Address Book)
    Contacts - Enable sync to iCloud. This is real time and will always be up to date
    Everything on the phone (including contacts and photos) - Back up to iTunes on your computer
    Everything on the phone - Back up to iCloud
    All of these are described in the manual.
    If you did not do ANY of these then the contents are already lost.

  • Can't attach some files when sending an email through Safari (via Gmail)

    I'm trying to send an email to myself, and I can't seem to attach files that were created using iWork programs (Pages, Numbers etc.) How can I get Safari/Gmail to allow me to email these files?

    I can't seem to attach files that were created using iWork programs (Pages, Numbers etc.)
    These are not files; they are folders that appear as files to the user. To email them to anyone you must create an archive (.zip file) of them and email that archive to the recipient.
