How do I report use of my email address by someone else (not my apple ID)

Hi there,
Someone has registered on apple, using my gmail address. This isn't my apple ID, but I don't want someone else using my email address for their account. Likewise, I don't want to end up receiving personal info or anything from this person as they use their account. How do I report this and get it stopped?
Thank you
Richard

Thank you anyway. I did try finding an appropriate discussion group to place this question but nothing came close! Thanks again for your help. I'll try and see if Apple Chat for purchase options can put me through to support tomorrow. They're closed for now.

Use a imac os x 10.4.11. I can't access my mail as of late yesterday. Is there a system problem or can I now longer use my .mac email address. I do not have any other device including a phone. thanks

I believe they discontinued all mobile.me accounts yesterday. It's been in the planning for a long time with lots of notification. I believe you can still get access to the e-mail from Tiger but you'd need to browse past discussions on this forum for details on how.

I reset the password. As you instructed, but that was not enough to solve the problem.
To solve the problem I also did the following:
For my user name I included @me.com., but I'm not sure that made any difference.
I think the key to solving this was that I pushed past the error I got on the Outgoing Mail Server window. I wasn't sure I should do that but I was desperate:
Next I got this window and checked SSL.
That was it!
Finally I went into account preferences and checked the outgoing mail server settings to be sure the server port was correct. It was.
Thank you for your help.

HT204053 How do I set up a rescue email address if I already have an Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID, but I did not set up a rescue email address. Now I need a rescue email address in order to reset my security questions/answers. How can I set up the rescue email address?

You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, so you will need to get them reset first - see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
When you can answer the questions you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use - from here :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

Can I use a different email address for the forums than my Apple ID?

Hi,
I generally use a particular email address for all my computer/IT forum questions. This email address is different than my Apple ID email address.
Can I change my forum email address (doesn't look that way) without changing my Apple ID address?
Thanks,
Scott

Fair warning... years ago I went with my work email address as my Apple ID. Now, with the advent of iCloud and all the other 'services' attached to your Apple ID, I find that half the time I cannot log into any one particular service. Apple's servers and ID system is getting way too messy. Keep it as simple as you can. If you add a different email address you are pretty much guaranteed that things will get more complicated.
These days, to log into these forums I actually have to log into Apple Store first. The discussion log in page will not allow me to log in any longer.
Keep it simple!

How can I re-use my ePrint email address after deleting and re-adding ENVY 110 print services?

I recently had to delete and re-add my ENVY 110 series printer (D411c) to ePrint in an attempt to solve a Web Services connectivity problem, and now I cannot re-use my original ePrint email address. Is there a way to reset the address or am I stuck with a new one?

You are stuck with the new one. The old one will be released for use after 6 months.

How do I un-link my email address from someone else's Apple ID?

Recently someone in India bought an iPhone 5 and now every time he downloads an app to it, I get the receipt for it in my inbox. His apple ID is his gmail address, which is somewhat similar to mine, so I'm guessing he set my email address as his accidentally, and was apparently able to do so without verification (I find it hard to believe Apple would allow this, but apparently they do). I tried to log on to his Apple ID account to change the settings, but the recovery email address for the password reset is not set to my email address. So, can anyone help me figure out how to get his Apple ID unlinked from my email address? I would be grateful.
I got on gmail ca 2004 and was able to get simply my first name @gmail, which seemed amazing at the time, but now that the whole Indian subcontinent is getting online in full force, with many people apparently not understanding that you can't just use any email address you want, and because my first name is a common name in Pakistan and India, people accidentally sign me up for mailing lists over there multiple times a day. I get resumes sent to me daily, responses for classified ads that I didn't post, and often the sites are set up such that I have to log on to unsubscribe, but I don't have the password so I can't...it's getting out of control! How is it possible that Apple allows this kind of mistake as well by not requiring email verification?

I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity. If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.

My email address is being used to send emails everyday by someone else? Can I fix this?

I'm getting about 30 messages a day with this subject "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" and no recognizable email addresses in the list included.
Can I fix this without changing my email account?
If not, are there steps outlined for transferring from this account to a new one?
Thanks.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Receiving emails addressed to someone else

I recently switched my SIM card to a Blackberry I purchased overseas. I updated Blackberry (BIS) with the new handset's PIN and IMEI and all was well - I started receiving my emails. Then a day later I started receiving emails sent to someone I've never heard of to an email address I've never heard of. What could be wrong?? Appreciate any guidance!

You'll have to track down the original owner and ask them to contact THEIR old BIS provider ans ask that provider to remove the BlackBerry's PIN from their system. BIS email is delivered by PIN and requires no special setup to be received - only to be sent from that email address.
Use the unwanted email to track the person down.

Hi – I’m resending you the instructions I got from Adobe-Sarah below again.
Nancy
Sarahktrapp at Adobe sent me instructions on how to access my original account on behance. Please read all of this because it did not work completely the way she told me.
Phase 1:
Sarah’s from Adobe Instructions:
Thanks for getting in touch. Your Behance account (be.net/yourname) is connected to the Adobe ID ( your original behance email address), so this is what you'll need to use to login.
Please click login, click the Adobe ID button, and enter ( your original behance email address) and your Adobe ID password.
If you'd like to link your Behance account with a different Adobe ID, after you're into your account, you can visit this page and choose "link to a different Adobe ID:" https://www.behance.net/portfolio/promote
Phase 2:
My results and what I reported back to Sarah at Adobe:
I followed your instructions, but it did not work for me. I clicked login, and then clicked the Adobe ID, I entered ( my original behance email address) and my Adobe ID password. When I clicked Sign In a message says “The Adobe ID and password do not match. Please try again.” I then tried logging in by clicking the Adobe ID, added the (my original behance email address) with my password I used on the original Behance account. The Adobe ID asked my birthdate and it seemed to work. Not sure how it worked, but thanks.
I hope this helps you.

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

How do I report use of my email address by someone else (not my apple ID)
