HI,
It's just spam but there is something you can do.
When you get mail such as this, from your Mac Mail Menu Bar click Message / Bounce.
The sender will receive a notification that your e-mail address was invalid.

Mail account has been disabled, it's my primary ac...

Hi all,
I carried out a vigorous search before posting!
Issue:
I logged into our primary BT account (which was fine, no issues there; aware of outage today etc); upon clicking on the mail icon I was met with the below message:
Your Yahoo! Mail Account is no longer active.
Unfortunately, we cannot reactivate your account because:
Your Yahoo! Mail account has been disabled. Please contact user support.
Reasons why this may have happened:
It may have been as a result of not using/sending emails from the account within a given period of time. We hardly use the primary address email; it usually only receives BT offers and BT warnings about usage! The disablement is not as a result of hacking and I’m not aware we broke any yahoo mail rules as it’s barely used!
Worries:
I’ve tried with no luck to raise this with yahoo and I’m beginning to feel a little disheartened at the lack of support from Yahoo and everything associated!
The email acts as our primary account, without it I won’t receive emails re: usage warnings, offers etc and if I need to verify something I won’t be able to!
I could create a sub account but it won’t receive the same emails as the primary account.
More worries:
I’m also worried the email primary email will eventually disappear because after a period of time you can’t reactivate a yahoo mail account, and then I’ll be met with an even bigger problem...
Anyone had this issue or be able to provide support and/or advice? Just to clarify, no problem logging in, that's fine; can do everything else, we just can't access the yahoo mail account!
Many thanks,
Officeworker.

HT5312 My e-mail account has been frozen for security reasons. I do not have a rescue e-mail address on file so when I try to use "forgot" it goes to the e-mail address that is frozen. How can I gain access to my e-mail address

My e-mail account has been frozen for security reasons. I do not have a rescue e-mail address on file so when I try to reset my password the instructions are sent to the e-mail address that is frozen. How can I get Apple to remove the frozen status from my e-mail account?

I need to change my iCloud e-mail to my new e-mail because my old e-mail account has been deleted and i haven't been using it for a while.

i need to change my iCloud e-mail to my new e-mail because my old e-mail account has been deleted and i haven't been using it for a while.
my new e-mail is my apple ID but my iCloud one wont change over.

If the old ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, try temporarily recreating the old ID by going 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.

HELP! iTunes account has been disabled? Can't find help

Tonight, I tried to buy a single track from the itunes store and I got this message:
"You cannot buy because your account has been disabled.
to continue using your account it must be enabled by the itunes store customer service. you can contact customer service at..."
I don't understand what's going on? I bought music this morning using an itunes card from target and now all of a sudden my entire account is disabled??? I have like $800 bucks in music I've purchased from the itunes store and I don't want to lose it! I sent an email to Apple's customer service address and I've yet to receive a reply.
Is this some sort of bug in the system??

I too am having problems.
1 - I can't listen to Purchased music
2 - when I synched the iPod None of the purchased music is working - including on the playlists
3 - I cannot find Customer Support info - in fact I think this is a disgrace - you waste time going around in circles - this is hidden info (more below)
4 - yesterday I sucessfully Bought some tracks (can you believe that!) but I can't listen to ANY of my other purchased stuff.
5 - I am being asked repeatedly to Authorise my computer - which I do and it says the computer IS authorised - then I get asked again for my details.
6 - contacted IM support 3 days ago (I have no idea how I did this) and tried fixing the problem live with a technician - no good. I cannot find this service since.
Therefore - I can't get tech help.
I think Apple have big problems they need to sort out - and should have done so years ago. This is really appalling & it should be the case that people should be financially compensated for the hassle and difficulty caused. The excuse of conflicts with other software etc is Not tenable.
If there was a choice out there I'd be using it.

I forgot my password on icloud account. how can i change my icloud account if my e-mail account has been compromised?

i forgot my icloud and e-mail account password. is there any possible way to change my icloud account?

Hey there apolman,
It sounds like you want to change your iCloud email address but cannot remember the password to do so. You should be able to reset the password for your account with this article:
iCloud: Change your iCloud password
Change your iCloud (Apple ID) password
Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
On a Mac: Open iCloud preferences.
On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode. If your device has iOS 5 or iOS 6, go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.)
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My account has been hijacked Help please

Hi Skype,
I am an extremely fustrated user. Yesterday, my account was hijack from someone using a .ru email address. When I attempted to contact skype for help, I have filled out the identify verification form 4 TIMES! and the end result per Diane R is that the information that I provided is still not sufficient to identify my identity.
This is absolutely not acceptable, I have provided so much information over 4 times, including snapshots of emails that I received from Skype notifying me of the change in email address, skype credit which was deposited into my account using iTunes, and an original email from skype welcoming me to skype.
I can bring in so many users who can vouch that I owed that account etc. What do I need to do to speak to someone who can help me rather than just fustrate the heck out of the user?

So was mine. They were trying to set up a recurring payment of some sort... I got a notice on my phone that my password had been changed... then charges trying to be made... then suspicious activity and my account was frozen. I was able to change my psswrd, and the charges did not go through, because thankfully I have no credit cards associated with Skype.

I think my account has been hijacked!

I just received 41 "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" emails in the last 2 minutes.
Changed my password but of course .Mac support stops answering the phones at 6:00PM.
Any ideas?

It's likely a friend of yours has a virus which is pulling addresses out of their address book, and using them as the reply-to address in the attempt to spread itself. There is nothing you can really do except contact your PC using friends, and tell them to check for viruses with updated definitions.
Sure is annoying, but not much you can do to prevent it.

Help, email down! - "Your Yahoo! Mail account has ...

Hi all
For some reason I can no longer use BT Yahoo email servers or services. I hope someone can help.
I have been a BT Infinity customer for about 6 months without issue. Tonight my email stopped working. The only change I made today is opting back in to BT FON WiFi Community using the portal on the Home Hub. This could be a red herring but no other account, router or service changes have been made.
1. If Outlook attempts to connect I get a username or password error. Emails stick in the Outbox.
2. If I send from another account to my btinternet address I get an NDR from a bt.mail.ird.yahoo.com mail server:
Sorry your message to <me>@btinternet.com cannot be delivered. This account has been disabled or discontinued [#102].
Despite the send/receive errors in Outlook (see #1), the email is still received.
3. I can log in to BT Yahoo member page, but if I click on Email:
Your Yahoo! Mail Account is no longer active.
Unfortunately, we cannot reactivate your account because:
Your Yahoo! Mail account has been disabled. Please contact user support.
Any help greatly appreciated. I don't use my btinternet.com address to receive email (I use a catch-all address with a registered domain name to forward to gmail). However I need to use their SMTP servers to send email, which at the moment I'm unable to do.
Regards, Dave
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem is now resolved.
I called BT yesterday on 0800 111 4567 and raised a support ticket. They confirmed the problem wasn't at my end so they raised a (free) support ticket. They said my email account looked ok from their end too, so they'd escalated it to the Yahoo server team. This morning all worked fine again when outbound SMTP email was triggered at 6am.
I don't know what the problem or resolution was but I'm glad to be back up and running. Full credit to BT. I was given a maximum response time of 48 hours from this morning (when Yahoo would pick up the call). I was therefore looking at 3 days of potential downtime. After a bit of a grumble from my end, the duty manager agreed to prioritise the call which he appears to have done successfully.
Thanks to anyone who's read this far! Regards, Dave

Hi JkeeneSoldano,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
From:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

sorry for my some mistake in descussion because i am bad in english.

Welcome to the Apple community moonlight94.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
