How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

    There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

    How do I get rid of a "bot" on my Mac that is sending out erroneous emails to everyone in our address book? 

    You will have to look around your machine & figure out the name of the program.
    try /application/utilities/activity monitor
    I recommend that you get a littlesnitch. littlesnitch will track your Web traffic and tell you which applications are sending data from your computer. Be sure to run it awhile because it will trigger a number of alerts. In trail mode, it will run for three hours per boot for a about a month.

    This list maybe different in your release of X.
    Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse.  It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book.  At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

    My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse.  It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book.  I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month.  It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone.  Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word.  The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer.  It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have.  The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up.  If it pulls up at all.  I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean.  I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks.  I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either.  I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me.  I do remember when I believe my computer became infected:  I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected.  I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late.  I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all.  I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer.  It refuses to uninstall.  The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible.  If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,

    Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

  • How can I stop my computer from logging off automatically when the computer is dormant for a few minutes?

    I must have changed a setting by mistake.
    Now, after a period of dormancy, my computer shuts down all apps and logs off.
    How can I stop it from doing that?
    I've tried to retrace any recent steps in the Preferences, but to no avail.
    Steve

    Niel, thanks for putting me on the right track.  I had to go to the "advanced" section of the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences to find that option.  I had almost given up searching the 4 tabs on the main page in vain.
    But I found it and it's turned off
    Thanks again

  • How do I stop my computer from asking me if I want to authorize my computer?

    Every time I hook up my iphone to my macbook pro, it says the computer is not authorized to save certain apps from my phone.  Then it asks me if I'd like to authoirize the computer, so I hit "authorize" (yes).  I type in my apple ID and password and hit enter.  Then a box pops up that says this computer is already authorized.  This is a never-ending circle.  How do I stop this?

    PollyZ:
    <code>about:config</code> isn't a feature found in Windows. It's a hidden website in Firefox that allows you to change a ton of prefs in Firefox (if you know what you are doing of course)
    Please enter <code>about:config</code> into the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. Once there, click the button that says <code>I'll be careful, I promise!</code> Search for the following prefs and set it to false
    * app.update.auto
    * app.update.enabled
    * app.update.silent

  • How can I stop community updates from sending to my inbox

    Hi
    Even though I disabled the email preferences not to send email notifications when someone starts a new discussions, Apple keeps  sending me updates regardless of my preference setting which is not to receive updates.
    This started yesterday for no apparent reason, it has been fine for months, now my inbox has 1500 messages since yesterday. I have been deleting them but it is driving crazy, it is like a SPAM.
    How can I contact Apple that there is a bug with their Community updates notifications system? As if it was not bad enough with Apple Maps!
    Since Steve has departed Apple have become more prone to errors.

    Jeff:
    My Operating system is Windows XP, Version 2002, with Service Pack 3.
    My Add/Remove Programs list shows that I have Reader 9,4,4, Flash Player 11 ActiveX, Photoshop elements 6, and Acrobat.com.
    My browser is Windows Internet  Explorer 6
    The updates do not give me a choice as to which program to apply the update to.  I guess I never get that far.

  • How do I stop my iphone from deleting emails from the server and visa versa

    I have the iphone 4, recently my phone started sending email info to the server. Meaning it deletes emails from my hotmail account if I delete them off my phone and visa versa. I know there is a setting under advanced setting, I don't have that button. I showed someone in the apple store and she said it was a software issue and to wipe my phone and back it up from my back up, this didn't help anything, neither did re setting the settings. I don't even have the spot in the settings where I can put in the pop3 information. This is a new thing my phone started doing and I don't understand why I don't have the same setting buttons as everyone else. Any advice? The only other thing I can think is wiping my phone and starting over but I don't want to lose the data in my aps
    I'm on the newest software version, this started happening just before I did that update.

    POP3 settings won't appear if an IMAP service can be found. Basically, you're going to have to set up the account with bogus information so that the phone can't find the server by itself. Then, when it can't, you'll be presented with the advanced settings where you can set it up as POP3 and enter the settings you want to use.
    POP3 is considered pretty much obsolete these days. The whole point of IMAP is to allow you replicate the server based mail store completely so that all information is available across all of your devices. If you don't want things crowding your in-box, but don't want to delete it entirely, why not just set up folders and move things where you want them to be once you read them?
