Just received a cryptic e-mail from my macbook dated 2009??

Hi all,
I have a MacBook Pro. On all networks etc it's name is "James' MacBook Pro". The account name I use is "James". I was therefore suprised when I just received an e-mail (Sunday 21st August 2011 - today) from "[email protected]". It is dated "Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 1:18 AM" and the content is just:
ulcGGL |F4  uJ%3 ;ZEG 9R&/ i4eU eR5o L+{.U B{u@-g |b]2 )st! ,SA] #4|} zog_ +@*( UmzBa< +:*2 V0i  c{7V"Q SB+f |/?%,v !k$"&{f 9gFS TbEA^ *(?d} bqg-F veRR ;(_hO dZ!6
So ... yeah, what? I don't understand what's happened here.
All help appreciated
Thanks
James

Thanks. I did think it improbable that they would use an AOL address which is why I mentioned it. Mail is now deleted. ;-)

  • I want to have Mail list Received e-mails chronologically without attaching new e-mails received to older e-mails from the same recipient.  Is their a Preferences setting or a toggle to set this?

    I want to have Mail list Received e-mails chronologically without attaching new e-mails received to older e-mails from the same recipient/with the same title.  Is there a Preferences setting or a toggle to set this?

    View menu.
    Uncheck "Organize by Conversation."

    BTW: Mail is part of the bundled "System software" and is discussed in the community for your version of OS X:
    Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
    The link will take you there.
    Edit: I see someone has requested a transfer, and this conversation is now in the correct space.

    Suggest you try the password for the Macbook, not the previous one.

  • ICloud works on my iPhone but I cannot access my mail from my macbook.

    iCloud works on my iPhone but I cannot access my mail from my macbook. I keep getting a server error message;
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “iCloud” or try again.
    The server returned the error: The iCloud IMAP server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” doesn’t support External (TLS client Certificate) authentication. Verify your account settings and try again.
    I've done everything possible and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions.?????

    Have you tried to completely sign out of iCloud and then adding it back again? By the way, a software update to the latest version of OSX could also help to fix it (think about it, because Mavericks is a free upgrade).

  • Not receiving the verification e-mail from Apple

    Any suggestions how to get past this please ?
    Thanks in advance

  • I'm not receiving a 'Reset Password' mail from Apple for my old registered id?

    I received a mail from Apple with regards to change in settings of my iTunes or Apple ID on my Hotmail Account. So I clicked the change account and created a new Account using my Gmail ID. Little did I know, after successfull completion that the apps downloaded using my hotmail id would not be allowed to update using my ne registered gmail id.
    So, I try to login using my old id (yes hotmail). Now the catch is I forgot the pass for this id. So I click 'forgot pass' and a msg comes send email notification.
    Now comes the main point! I'm not recieving a single mail from apple on my pass retrival?! Which means i cannot update my apps (including the paid one's) + I'm scared that my CC deatails will be miss-used on the old id!
    Please help ASAP.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hey @mandaB97 - Never recvd any communication from Apple. Never expected this kind of service from Apple. Felt really mind-****** by this thing. Finally I gave up all my paid apps, and started using a new id.
    Felt really horrible, that all my paid apps went down the drain. The app guys couldn't help me too!

  • I received (and opened) a mail from a friend, it contained a link that I could not open ( I tried, though) . It was a hacked message, she later apologized.. Can my iPad2 be affected? please advise

    I received ( and opened, because I knew her address as safe) a mail from  friend, it contained a link that I tried to open, but it could not.
    It was clear it was a hacked email, she then apologized..could my iPad2 be affected by this? Please advise, thank you.

    You SHOULD be safe. The iPad's operating system is different from PC or Mac ones, and most viruses and malware are written to infect PC's or Mac's.
    If, for example, that link led to an .exe file the iOS can't run that so it does nothing.

  • How do I hear audio from my Macbook Pro 2009 to my LED TV?

    I recently received an adapter for my Macbook Pro 2009, Mini DisplayPort (Mini DP) to HDMI Female Adapter + HDMI Cable for my birthday.  I knew before receiving this adapter I needed something to transmit audio to my TV.  However, th 1/8' (3.5mm) to RCA stereo audio cable I purchased does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on which cable I need to purchase next to make the sound component work when connecting my laptop to my Toshiba LED TV?

    The Mac's audio output doubles as a optical Toslink stereo mini jack, just use a adapter to regular Toslink and plug the optical cable to your surround sound system. Fiddle with the sound settings to enable optical output.
    Mac's pass surround sound through, they don't do any processing.

  • HT201303 i just rec'd an e-mail from Apple INC email adrress ******* stating that my Apple ID was just used to purchase "Assassin's Creed Pirates" from the iTunes Store from an account in Russia , i live in Ireland. i have very little credit

    Hi,
    I did  not make this purchase – Is this a genuine e-mail account from Apple

    Subject: Your recent purchase with your Apple ID
    Your Apple ID ******** was just used to purchase "Assassin's Creed Pirates" from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase.
    This purchase was initiated from Russia.
    If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
    If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account .

    I can't see anything genuine about it!
    Since the link to the Apple id: Tips for...   actually says it goes to a site named "bingo", I think it's quite clear that this is a phishing email, designed to get you to click on and go to their site, not an Apple one. I hope you have not clicked on the link.
    It is not a good idea to put your own persoanl information in a post on a public forum. I will ask our hosts to remove it and the link. Don't be surprised if they remove the entire thread.

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac users must click send/receive to get new mail from exchange 2013 server

    I recently switched our primary CAS servers over from a single exchange 2010 cas/mailbox/hub server to a couple new exchange 2013 CAS/Mailbox servers.  Exchange 2013 has cu3, and is hosted on windows server 2012.  Anyone who has their mailbox hosted
    on one of these exchange 2013 servers has an issue where they must click the send/receive button to get new messages downloaded to their client. This is only the case for outlook 2011 for mac client.  Activesync clients, mac mail, OWA, and Outlook 2010/13
    all behave normally.
    Where can I look or what can I check to troubleshoot this issue?
