Our Yahoo email account is sending out spam messages

our yahoo email account received a spam message that I stupidly opened. Now we are receiving messages from our contacts saying they are receiving strange attachments. We changed the password. Should we be sending a group message to all of our contacts? Should we be scanning the iPad for viruses?

There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). So you didn't get infected with anything, and opening the message had nothing to do with it.
Your e-mail account probably got hacked and is being used to send spam. Changing the password was all that is needed, just make sure it's a good, strong password not used by any other online accounts. Also, if you were using your old e-mail password for any other online accounts, they may have been compromised. There's a lot of information in the typical e-mail account that can help a hacker locate all your other online accounts.

Is there any way to setup a email account for sending only

is there any way to setup a email account for sending only? i have a pop account that i fwd to my google acct, so all my mail is mapi thru google/exchange. i do need this account as a send email address so currently i have entered a wrong password so i do not duplicate my inbox. its annoying as i get the bad reteival popup continuessly. Many email products, like outlook allow you to decide which accounts to download. it should be a simple fix from Apple, but dont think there is any one to talk too about this. other option is to use the gmail app or chrome, but like apple's email better for iphone Any ideas??

Email account can send email but cannot recieve

My new contractor email account can send email but cannot receive. GIT had identified the problem "Mail record not created in LDAP" but it has been more than a week and still no fix.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
James

Hi James,
Contractors by default are not provided email access. Your manager needs to request for a mail record from APS. If your manager had already requested for a mail record, then you need to raise a service request with helpdesk.
Moreover you're reporting this issue in the wrong forum.
Thanks,

How do I set up email accounts to send emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

How do I set up email accounts to send and receive
emails while travelling overseas using various wifi locations?

Many ISP provided email accounts limit connections to their outgoing SMTP email servers to only connections coming from their own network. So, if you try to send email when not connected to their network (i.e. when not at home), the connection will be rejected.
If you are using an ISP provided email address, in these circumstances, you'll need to ask your ISP if they provide an "authenticated SMTP connection" so that you can send email via their SMTP server when not actually accessing the internet via their network. You'll need to enter your email account username and password in the Outgoing SMTP server settings and possible configure SSL or outgoing port numbers. Your ISP will be able to advise on this though, as the exact setting vary between ISPs.
By far the best solution though, is to use an email account that is not tied to any particular ISP, such as a GMail account, as these can be used from anywhere, on any network and provide authenticated SMTP as standard.

Hi.
The failure notices (typically probably from mailer daemon) are due to a spammer using your email address as the "From" address in their spam run. This is usually a random act by their software, and after an initial barrage, they trickle to a stop.
However it shouldn't stop you sending emails.
Are you sending emails from a browser login to BTYahoo! (i.e. via webmail) or using something like Outlook, Thunderbird or Windows Mail ?
Can you say what happens when you try to send emails, are they failing to send with an error message ? If so can you post any error message, first having removed any personal details like email address.

How to prevent exchange email account from sending emails in Outlook

Hello,
I'm using Outlook 2010 with two email accounts. First account is set up with pop/smtp (hosted email), Second account is set up with local exchange server 2003 (not full exchange, only used to store emails, calendars, public folders). For sending & receiving
emails we use hosted email account pop/smtp, which is default account.
The problem is when I receive meeting request.....if i hit Accept > Send the Response Now, for some reason it will try to send from the Exchange account (which is not set up for sending emails).
The only workaround I know is to hit Accept > Edit the Response before Sending > change account from exchange to pop and send.
Would you please help me if there is a fix or any way to disable exchange account from sending emails !!
Thanks a lot !!!

When the meeting is added to the exchange calendar, it wants to send the response. One way to solve it (and i think the easiest) is to configure the exchange account to send mail using a smart host. Configure your hosted email address as the default smtp
address - the server will send any mail it receives and the address on it will be your correct internet address.

How to select email account for sending notifications

I have three calendars (for example, C1, C2, C3). My Mail application has 3 email accounts (A1, A2, A3).
How can I make the calendar send notifications using a selected email account?
For example, I want all calendar email notifications to be sent using account A2.
I'll appreciate your help.

sd0084,
If I change, all my emails would go out the selected account.
Correct.
I routinely use that method, which means that I must select a different account in the "New Message" window "From:" field when I choose to send mail from a different account.

Using Several Email Accounts and Sending from One

First issue:
I use three email accounts on my iPhone (MobileMe, Gmail, and an institutional account). All of my incoming messages are routed to my MobileMe account. This way I can have access to all three accounts but I only have to look at the MobileMe inbox for new messages.
I'd like to respond to messages using my Gmail address even though I'm reading them in MobileMe to which they are redirected. Is it possible to set Gmail as the default outgoing address (even within the MobileMe view) so that I don't have to manually switch the "From" field when I compose a new message?
Second issue:
When I forget to switch the "From" field to Gmail, it tries to send using my MobileMe address, which seems like the natural result. But every time I hit send it tells me that the server can't be reached (or some similar error), and it refers to my address as "@mac.com" instead of "@me.com". Does the suffix account for the error? How can I fix this, assuming I can't resolve the first issue above?
Thanks.

check this:
Tools > Account Settings > Copies & Folders.
do not select / uncheck the box:
'place replies in the folder of the message being replied to'
click on OK to save changes.

Defining email account for sending invites

I think I'm using iCal as intended. I work at home and have multiple calendars but let's just say I have three calendars -- Home, Work and Other -- and I have three email accounts -- eHome, eWork and eOther.
I seem to have limited control over which email address is used to send invites from a particular calendar. I think I understand why it changes but what I can't understand is why can't I set the outbound email account on a per-calendar basis.
Ideally, I could click on the calendar and in the info pane, select one of the e-mail accounts in my mail application (Mail). That would be static such that any time I sent an invite from the Work calendar, it would be sent via my eWork account.
Is there a way to do this that I'm missing? This seems like a rather obvious weekness that is causing confusion with my various associates. Is there a way to address this?
Thank you,
Chip

Yes, I think you understand the situation. However, just yesterday something happened that really confused me. I thought the messages were sent via one of the accounts define in Mail. However, I sent out invitations to two people and got the responses back on my Blackberry! dress in the address book.
When I investigated, the replies were actually sent directly to the Blackberry's e-mail address and the invitees thought they may have come from that address. I have no Blackberry account defined in mail and only the address is listed in "MY" card in the Address Book. Very odd.
I've looked at some recent invites and they are being sent via several different addresses/accounts (e.g. work, DSL account, .Mac, etc.) The Blackberry thing definitely has me confused.

Select from multiple email accounts in Send Link ...

When I use Firefox's Send Link ... function to email a web address to a friend the "from" email account is always the first account in Thunderbird. Is ti possible in some way to select from other email accounts I have in Thunderbird, or, specify that the default account is the second, or third account listed in Thunderbird?

Sorry, there's no way to change that in Firefox. Try a Thunderbird support forum.

I have 2 emails accounts one sends and receives fine with a POP account the other IMAP and I'm buggered if i know how to change it or to even check the answer from this question. OMG is there a computer buddy who can help this idiot pleeeeease

Firstly I apologise for my dumness when it comes to computers.
We have a new imac and i have tried to set up our emails. One is setup up under POP (and is fine) and the other under IMAP, its the later that doesnt send or receive. What do I need to do to change the setup. I go into 'account' and where to from there??

You can access, usually under the Apple (icon) menu in the main desktop
window, note item with name "About this Mac" & click on that, to see more
information about your computer, its OS X version, and other. The system
version and build model are there. Do not post a serial number.
If you are setting up Mail in a Mavericks OS X 10.9.x system, there often
is access to information in the Help viewer from the main menu bar, or
in an open mail application. If you have a Gmail or other account, that
info is often on their home page where setup and help are located.
The settings of each email account may vary according to their provider;
so you would have to change your computer to accept them. An older
link to a general look at that issue, change IMAP to POP, is covered here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16770816#16770816
While that may not answer your question, you could use the info in
your Mac OS X system Help viewer and use its search; or maybe
a Spotlight search to see an answer online.
You have to learn some basic things in order to actually use these...
and it helps to expand that so you won't have to pay for tech service
on things you can do yourself in a few minutes, beyond easy stuff.
Of course, you're hearing this from a guy with no ISP email, ever.
So mine are web-mail only; & I never save email to a computer.
PS: If you have a new Mac with an AppleCare plan, you may be able
contact Support for help. Ask someone (for 90 days, or up to 3 years
if the Plan was extended) there at AppleCare, for their guidance.

MAIL - click REPLY, Mail uses different email account to send reply

MBP Early 2011
4 GB Memory 2.3 i5

Hi.
When I click reply in MAIL the from field gets filled with one of my other account emails. I want the from email address to be the same as the original address the other person used. I get the drop down window to decide which account to use. But MAIL always picks the same less used account to fill the field. I have looked and can't find the way to fix this.
The "send new message from" box has the proper email/account highlighted. Mail still uses one of my other accounts/emails -- mind you it is always the same account it uses.

One option you can do is to rename the plist file, which keeps track of your mail options. It's possible it's corrupt and not recognizing your change. The downside is you may have to enter your mail account information and options again.
If you want to try it, close the mail application. Go to "your user name"/library/preferences and find com.apple.mail.plist . Hold down the alt key, click on it, and rename it, perhaps to com.apple.mail.oldplist. Restart mail, which will create a new plist file. Go into Preferences and on the composing tab set it to what you want. If that now works, you can erase the file you renamed, or just leave it there if you want.

Hi, Rene -
I'm trying to change the email address that iCal uses. I use several email addresses, but the only account I have in Mac mail is my work email. iCal is using one of my personal accounts. Odd thing is, I only access my personal account on the web interface, because of firewall issues when I'm inside my corporate network or VPN (which is 95% of the time) - I don't use Mac mail.
I'd really love to know where this setting is so I can change it permanently or on the fly.
Anyone else have any ideas?

How do I change the email account that sends photos?

I have 2 email accounts on my phone. Currently it sends photos from my business account. I want it to send from my personal account. Any way to switch this?

Richard,
You need to change which email account is the default. Go to Settings -> Mail -> Default Account and choose your personal account. This will now be the default account whenever an account is not specified; i.e. sending links from Safari, emailing photos, etc. To send an email from your Business account you'll need to enter mail, touch the business account, and then choose to create a new email.
