German email attacking my account- help please

we keep getting hundreds of emails from german addresses. do we have a virus? will reinstalling mail help? Any suggestions?

do we have a virus?
No.
will reinstalling mail help?
No.
Any suggestions?
Many PCs are infected. One of the things that can happen on such a machine is that it will send messages to every address in the machines address book. Often, it will set the sending address to be one of those addresses chosen at random, so you will often see undeliverable messages coming back to you for messages you didn't send. There is nothing much that can be done. You could look at the message headers in the mails, and if the earliest "received" on the messages are all from the same source try contacting the ISP.
In the normal course of events these things pass ...

Since upgrading to Yosemite three days ago I cannot send/receive emails. Can anyone help please?

Since upgrading to Yosemite three days ago I cannot send/receive emails. Can anyone help please?

I would try to reset all the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts (outgoing and incoming servers) according to your mail providers specs.

After update, cannot send email via any accounts! Please help!

First of all, thank you for reading my thread.
After updating few days ago, I cannot send any email via any acounts. I have .mac email and yahoo email. But I still can receive emails. I have checked message borad, it said "Some members experienced difficulty sending .Mac Mail via computer email applications from 3:30 am to 6 am Pacific Time. Normal service has been restored." But mine hasn't!!! It has been almost a week!!
The erro message says "cannot send email using this mail server, please choose one of the following server and retry again"
My english is not very good, I hope you understand my question and any help would be appreciated, thank you again.

Thank you very much for your reply!
This is what I got:
PING smtp.mac.com (17.250.248.45): 56 data bytes
--- smtp.mac.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
PING mail.mac.com (17.250.248.152): 56 data bytes
--- mail.mac.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
It seems the problem is the server, but it has been many days, I don't think apple haven't had notice this.
What should I do next?

EMAIL PROBLEMS APPRECIATE SOME HELP PLEASE

I accidentally tried to send a large pdf file by email via my .mac account. I tried to cancel the send when I realised it was 192meg
Since then I cannot send or receive email at all and the little circle thing (that spins when checking email on an account) keeps searching but does nothing else (been doing it for nearly 4 hours now!)
Every now and then a message comes up saying: Some actions taken while the account ".mac" was offline could not be completed online...Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online. Mail has saved other messages in mailbox “On My Mac” in “On My Mac” so that you can complete the actions while online. Additional information: The connection to the server “mail.mac.com” on port 993 timed out.
I click the only options, which is 'ok' then it continues searching
So I read the help topic and it gave an option that perhaps my account is full so i clicked get info, the relevant account, then quota limits as instructed
it says it is 'calculating sizes' but has done that for nearly the past 2 hours now and doing nothing! So as a last resort I am hoping somebody on here could advise what I can do.
thank you

At this point I think you need to call .mac and ask them to look into and delete the messages. If your mac is no longer connected to the server, and it's still duplicating then it's not your mac sending the command to copy, it's something on the .mac end.

Hi, since my friend has updated to iOS 8 she has lost sight of what is being typed on messages, emails etc. can anyone help, please?

Not sure if I'm repeating myself here, but here is a repeat:
HI, my friend has updated her iPad to iOS8 and has since lost sight of anything she types, ie, email, chat in games, etc. can anyone help, please?

If the keyboard is in the middle of the screen tap the tiny keyboard in the lower right corner of the keyboard then slide your finger up to dock then release finger.

TS4058 HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE AN IWEB but I cannot create a .mac account help please?

Hello,
I am having trouble trying with publishing my iWeb site however I am taking to log in screen for the .mac account and cannot log into it. I am not sure if I have one created. I created one through iChat I believe but it is still giving me an invalid account name or password after submitting the website to be published. Can anyone help please? I am currently using a Macbook 2008 series with Leopard 10.5 OS... thank you, Sahara

iChat and MobileMe are NOT the same thing. .Mac does not exist and has not now for several years - it is MobileMe instead, but unless you already have an account which is sounds as if you don't, then it is too late. You can't get one now.
If you want to publish your site, then you'll have to find a domain name registrar and register a domain name of choice and then purcahse hosting too and then you can publish by publishing to a local folder and then uploading using an ftp client such as Cyberduck.
Start by taking a look at http://www.godaddy.com or http://www.hostexcellence.com where you can register a domain name and purchase hosting.
MobileMe will no longer exist as of 30th June this year - it is going and iCloud has taken over, but will not host websites so everyone on this forum is having to search for alternative hosting.
Perhaps do a search of this forum for the relevant topics.

Issues with a email server migration - URGENT HELP PLEASE

Hi,
My online company uses TB and we recently changed our email server provider to resolve a serious problem we were having with the previous one. Both servers (old and new) are IMAP.
The problem is that since we have made this server migration we are having a lot of strange things happening on TB such as:
1. When I mark a email read I can no longer mark it as unread. I've tried to click on the little ball, to select 'Mark as unread' by clicking on the right side of the mouse, etc and nothing!
2. When I reply and forward an email the reply and forward arrow is not showing up so sometimes we don't know what emails have been done
3. Sometimes the emails are sent and don't show up in the sent folder. So we need to put our own email in BCC to be sure that they have been answered.
The guy who organised the server migration suggested us to move to outlook, but outlook is not resolving the problem either. On top of that it makes our computers as slow as snails. I'm on a free trial with outlook that will expire in two days and I want to go back to TB as I find it much easier and straight forward.
Has anyone have a similar issue? Can someone HELP please?
Many thanks in advance.

No clue on other issues Just remember that your old e-mails are not on your new server.

Hacked email account- help please!!

My hotmail account was hacked so I am primarily using my gmail account... So I bought Skype credit BEFORE I changed my primary account to gmail..... I tried to make a call using my credit and it's telling me that I don't have any credit. Would Skype have sent me some activation thing to use my credit to my hotmail account that I cannot get into anymore??

I think if you change your "registered email address" (not profile email address/es), any further emails will be sent to the new address you specified. Well, I suggest that you just contact customer service for accurate explanations.

Email Account Help Please!

Hello All!
I just recently purchased a blackberry curve 8330 from someone off of ebay. When I try to set up email it is saying that there is one that is already established for this blackberry. I got the previous person to delete their email account and she did now it's still saying the same thing. What do I do in this case?
I know the previous person had verizon service but I am using page plus as a provider.
My husbands work and he had purchased his from a previous verizon carrier as well.
What to do?????? I don't understand, I thought you were able to create up to 10 accounts on these anyway.

Hi there!
The prior owner needs to take some additional steps...see this KB:
KB05099 Steps to take before selling, or after buying, a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
Removing their old email account isn't even listed -- since it is removing the association between the BB and that carriers BIS is what is needed, and that will accomplish removing the associated email account as well. So, they need to contact their old carrier and have them release the PIN from their BIS and their network. Then you should be able to create what you need with your carrier.
Oh...and just to clarify...email and texting are separate functions, often requiring different service plans from the carriers. Texting is usually part of their voice service plans. Email is usually part of their data service plans -- and even more than that, often part of their BB data service plans...often, a generic data plan will be insufficient to use email on a BB.
If your carrier does not have a dedicated BIS site, then only the device interface to BIS will function. But, if if only shows "Enterprise" and not "Personal" email, then you don't have an adequate data plan from your carrier to provide you access to email via BIS. You can check for carriers BIS sites via this portal:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F
Oh, and btw...did the BB itself get unlocked from the prior carrier? That as well is necessary before it can be fully used on another carrier. All BB's are initially locked to their original carrier and must be unlocked before using on another carrier. See this article:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_unlock_my_BlackBerry%3F
Good luck and let us know!

HT1146 I can not delete messages from my gmail account - help please

My deleted messages from my gmail account keep coming back. How can I permanently delete them?

Hello,
Certain Thunderbird problems can be solved by peforming a ''Clean Reinstall''. This means you remove Thunderbird's Program Files then reinstall Thunderbird. Please follow these steps:
#Download the latest version of Thunderbird from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download is complete, close all Thunderbird windows (Click Exit/Quit from the menu button on the right).
#*'''Windows:'''
#** C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#** C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Thunderbird from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Thunderbird with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Thunderbird on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird Download Page], simply remove the folder ''thunderbird'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Thunderbird:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to open Thunderbird after clicking the Finish button.
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Thunderbird's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Thunderbird data, including but not limited to, extensions,emails, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Two 9320 Curve on one account - Help please :-)

I have two BB Curve 9320 on one email account with separate ID's and pin. One device BBM locked out and asked to verify log in details. Tried this but device synced BBM contacts from other device. Any ideas on how to create individual identities for each device would be welcomed
Many thanks

Hi izzywizzy
Welcome to Support Forums
You cannot have the same email address as your BlackBerry ID on both of your devices , because this newer BBM version integrates with your BlackBerry ID.
So if you remember your email and the password of your BlackBeerry ID then from a PC go to www.blackberry.com/blackberryid first try changing the Username or the email associated with any one of your device , for further help refer to this Knowledge Base :
KB28060 : How to change or update a BlackBerry ID username on the BlackBerry ID website.
Please try it and see if that resolves your issue.

If Problem Resolves mark the post(s) as " Solution ", so that other can make use of it.

Apple Account Help please!

After I updated to iOS6, I cannot update any apps because it asks for the password to an email that is not my apple account. I have tried going into the settings and changing the ID to mine, and it says its mine, but the other email still pops up when I try to update or download anything. Coincedently, the Email that its asking for is my brother's, but we don't share iTunes accounts. Could this be related to iCloud? Please help because I can't download or update anything! D=

I did. I went there and it says my account's email adress. I signed out of it and signed back in, but it still prompts me to sign into a different E-mail when attempting to update or download apps.

ITunes artist account HELP PLEASE

Hi
can anyone help me?? I have discovered that my album is selling on iTunes. It might have got there through a third party website. I need to find out what my account details are so as to make sure any royalties come to me and do not get lost.
Can anyone tell me who to contact, or how to log in somehow to confirm all my account details??
Any help will be appreciated
many thanks
Selwyn

You can't delete the account per se - it's needed to maintain your ability to play any songs you have bought - but you can delete your credit card information.
Have a look at the section How do I delete my credit card number? on this Support page .
