HT201320 How do I block email? Got email from someone I don't know
I received a email from someone I don't know, can I block the email so they can't send me mail again?
Also, when my email down loads it goes into the IN box then it quickly goes into the trash even before I can read it, how can I fix this?
Thanks, Lulu----2014
Mail > Preferences > Rules > Add Rule
Make a rule that's something like this...
If: From Contains saidperson@saidperson's email address
Perform the following actions: Delete Message
Do that and you'll never see emails from said person.

My email has me as someone I don't know on fB
I'm baffled.... The picture of "me" that shows up in the corner of my emails is someone I have never met before. When I got to preferences > accounts, only my accounts are listed. Yet somehow my email is bringing up the name and picture of some random facebook user. I do have facebook notifications forwarded to my account, however, the ones that are forwarded are all MY messages - not this other user. And, when I reply to posts from me account, they appear as me and not this other user. Should I be concerned? What's the fix for this?
I should clarify, when I say brings up the "name and picture", I mean the small icon has someone else's picture and when I open it, it is labeled as "me" and with this other person's name.

I have been trying to email someone some photos (only 10) from iPhoto. That darn pop-up window keeps popping up, telling me to check my email server, etc. I have NO idea what to do. I have tried doing what other posters have suggested - to no avail. Is there someone who can tell me what to do using non-tech language? This is SO frustrating...
Hi ..
It's just a matter of giving iPhoto your email reader.
Quit iPhoto if it's open.
Open the Mac Mail app.
From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Select your mail accoun tfrom the: Default email reader pop up menu.
Relaunch iPhoto.
Select a photo then go to the iPhoto menu bar click Share > Email -
TS3276 How do I block an unwanted email sender?
Other than bouncing back to sender, or changing my email address, putting them in junk mail or a file, how do I block my abusive ex from sending me unwanted emails?
FWIW, If there were a simpler way, I would have posted it, and I am not intentionally withholding information here, nor are other folks.
As mentioned upthread, you can use server-side mail rules to delete (and generally not block, nor bounce) incoming mail messages, though whether you or your mail provider can access the mail server varies by provider, and by mail server. Some providers have this capability. Some do not. Some provide web access into SpamAssassin or other server-side rules. Others do not.
Check with your mail ISP for details here.
I do use server-side rules to blacklist specific users and specific domains. This is possible with OS X Server hosting your mail, and with hosting providers that offer SpamAssassin or similar access.
Locally within a client, you can use mail rules within Mail.app or similar mechanisms available within other mail clients to delete messages from specific senders. Not all mail clients have this capability. If your mail client lacks rules — such as the iOS mail client — then you can potentially have a computer system — a desktop that can remain powered on at all times — then that system can generally be configured to recieve and delete these mail messages on behalf of the script-less clients.
Alternatively, use the junk button a few times, and train the junk filter to find and nuke the messages.
If you want to see Mail.app provide a one-click nuke button, then please send the suggestion to Apple. There's a suggestion submission item within the Mavericks Mail.app menus, and probably earlier. The folks might or might not see what's posted here. -
my iphone offers no "SEND" button when I'm reading regular inbound email and I want to respond or forward...something got switched off and I don't know how to fix it...
Close out of the mail app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your email again. -
Using iOS 8 how do I block an unwanted email source
On my iPhone 6, how do I block an unwanted email source. I send a particular piece of spam to "junk," and the next day another piece of spam arrives from the same source. How do I block the sender permanently?
Thanks,
hawgjohnThat's not something you can do from the built in Mail program. Check with your email provider to see if they have spam filters that you can access through their web interface.

Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????
If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up. Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID. If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple. -
I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?
There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -

I recently got a new computer and don't know how to get music from my ipod touch to show on my itunes library.
You need to transfer the iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one.

My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden. -
