Phishing emails that purport to be sent by Apple

Ignore emails titled "IOS 7.1.6 - Security - Apple ID" (or similar). They are NOT from Apple and are phishing emails. They look very authentic, but do not click on any links in these emails. I've recently gotten two of them: (1) sent 3/10/2014 from email address 'valdosaurus.mschosting.com' and (2) sent 3/20/2014 from email address 'webxc28s01.ad.aruba.it'. These emails claimed that information about my Credit Card had recently been changed in my Apple (store) account, and was a warning to me in case I had not made any such change on the dates the emails were generated.
In fact I had no credit card on file in my Apple account, nor had I accessed my account in recent months. An Apple website support representative that I talked to said Apple does not sent emails to Apple website users, and that the email addresses of the 2 emails I received are not associated with Apple. I did not click on any of the authentically-identified links in these emails, so I don't know where they really would have taken me, but not likely where they indicated.

No, in terms of Mail.app. As WZZZ said, this limit is set by your ISP.
Yes, in terms of netiquette. Google it. Any file > 1MB is, IMHO, too big for e-mail. Nowadays, this rule may be more relaxed, because more people have broadband. You should check with your intended recipient.

HT204266 I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion. I can't find the email thats supposed to be sent automatically

I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion for my workplace. I can't find the email that's supposed to be sent automatically. Any suggestions ?

If you just purchased Mountain Lion, wait a couple of days. It sometimes takes that long for the receipt to arrive. Also check any anti-spam filters on your email application or email account to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked.
If no receipt shows up within a couple of days, you can ask your company if a screen print of the order information from the Purchase History, which should be available through iTunes by viewing your account, would be sufficient. If not, you can contact Mac App Store Customer Service and ask if they can resend the receipt.
Regards.

My iPad sent an email that was in the sent box but I never sent it.

I found and flagged an email that was generated from my iPad and sent to a now defunct email address without my knowledge or permission.
The email contained a subject of just a capital letter. "A" and contained I.I in the body of the message and my signature "Sent from my iPad"
I was not using my iPad at the time the email was generated. The only reason I noticed was the Postmaster Failure message.
This has never happened before and I've just recently updated to 6.1 yesterday. I will keep an I on my sent message box and think someone from Apple should look into this ASAP as it seems like a malicious exploit of my .mac Mail account.

It's gmail too... Surely there's something

Phishing Email that pretends to be from BT

While phishing emails are common targetting bank customers I have just received one targetting BT customers.
It appears as Sender BT, Title Important , Recipient "blank"
The content says BT have been unable to take a payment and asks you to confirm your payment details.
Surprisingly it uses a BT email address of mine that I thought only BT knew about.
Does BT have an email address similar to most banks that I can pass this email onto ?
Solved!

HT1040 book is fine in preview and there was confirmation that the book was sent, but apple saying there are errors

i have done a number of books successfully in aperture 3.
I have done a book using instagram photoes.
I have previewed the book in PDF and there are no errors.
I sent the book off, with a confirmation fro apple that the book was sent.
Then i get an email saying:
Dear Apple customer,
It appears that when your order was submitted to Apple, an error caused the image file to be unreadable or unprintable. As a result, Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged.
We recommend previewing your print product and placing the order again. For instructions on how to preview your order, refer to the article below.

question:
Does the file size of the book matter?
Does color format matter e.g. RGB etc

Things that may prevent printing:
Default text or default images, for example missing background photos or captions
Non-standard fonts - did you use any non-Apple fonts or font sizes?
Low resolution - did any yellow low-resolution warning triangles show? In that case move the image in question to smaller photo boxes or replace them by versions with a higher resolution.
Corrupted image files or non-standard image file formats.
If the preview is o.k. without any warning, try again. Maybe it was just a transmission error.

HT5622 I changed my email that was associated with my last Apple ID.the old email keeps popping up every time I want to purchase a new app. From the app. Store

I am having trouble getting free appt..from the App Store...I changed my email that is associated with my Apple ID..when I go into the app. Store my old email address keeps popping up..I need help

Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them. Whenever you
try to update an app downloaded with the old ID, you will be asked for that old ID.
Delete the apps and redownload with your new ID - you will have to pay again
for any purchased apps. Or use the old ID. Or am I not understanding what you
are asking?
Did you log out of the AppStore after changing the email and log back in again?

Keep getting unreadable emails that say theyr'e sent from my email address sometimes every minute

I keep getting undelivered mail with attachments which say they have come from me, its all rubbish with the words all messed about, the last one came from America, Is it because I don't have a spam folder so that they are sitting in my in box, and what do I need to do, as soon as I hover over them they open. how on earth do all these people have my email address. Any help please would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you've guessed it.
Someone is abusing and using your email address.
They are randomly sending to a load of email address which they hope will get a response. If any email address is not valid or blocking, then you will receive the Mailor daemon message that it is undelivered.
This at least tells you that someone has used your email address.
Do not respond to anything.
Do not open any attachement.
Delete those emails.
Just in case any of your contacts have received one of these emails, you should alert them to the fact.
Send them an email stating that someone is abusing your email address.
Suggest you add a specific signature to your emails and tell your contacts that anything genuinely from you will have your signature. Tell them not to open an attachment and delete those emails. Usually, they do not even look like they came from the alledged sender.
What you need to assess is whether this is just someone spoofing your email address (more common) or whether your computer or account have been compromised.
Reboot computer in safe mode and run your anti-virus software.
change passwords after checking no malware on computer - key logging etc.
You cannot stop this kind of abuse.
You can help to try to avoid this by never disclosing your email address in any forum etc.
Sometimes people forward emails they think are amusing etc, but they do not remove the email addresses before forwarding, so after the email has been forward a zillion times, who knows how many people may end up knowing your email address.

Im having problem in Mail. Sent is showing incorrect date and also not showing sent emails that have been successfully sent. Is it a virus?

Having trouble in MAIL. Running MacOSX(10.6.8) and in MAIL the SENT both doesnt show sent messages( successfully received) and doesnt show correct date sent. Any ideas??

Not sure about the time stamp problem, but the missing "Sent" mails problem is not uncommon. This problem is one that a lot of people have and in my opinion, I think it's a problem with Apple's mail application, nothing at the user's end.
Does this happen only when you include an attachment or does that matter? Also, does it only happen when your outgoing message is delayed a bit? Check your junk/spam folder to see if your sent messages went in there.
This doesn't fix anything, but you might change your e-mail settings so that all new mails are automatically sent Bcc to yourself.
Sometimes the "missing" sent mails are not going in the right folder. I'm sure you probably already know, but in the left-hand column in MAIL, under Mailboxes, there is a second "sent" folder way at the bottom, depending on your other e-mail accounts, such as Yahoo or Gmail). Many people have discovered their missing "sent" e-mails in those.
It is a big hassle, for sure, and has been officially reported. Users with complaints are being told that Apple's Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) systems block the connection from a user's e-mail client when it attempts to store outgoing e-mails, which contain attachments, to the users' sent folder.
This is supposedly due to the Mac OS/Mac Mail sending non-standard or erroneous commands to the server, emulating the activity which would be generated by an attacker attempting to abuse an exploit in the IMAP server. I doubt you are doing anything wrong, so it's just a matter of waiting for them to FIX this annoying issue.

How do I remove an upper righthand picture that is embedded in emails that I send? I use apple mail v3.6, OS X 10.5.8

I use mail v 3.6 and os 10.5.8.
My email has an annoying picture embedded in upper right hand side of outgoing emails. How do I remove it?
I can't find an obvious way to do this.
Thanks

The picture shows there if the contact has a picture in your address book. If you don't want a picture, remove their picture from your Address Book.
There's no way to do it from within Mail.
And if the recipient of the email is on a Mac and has your picture in their address book, they'll see that picture attached to any emails they receive from you. There is no way to change that.

I have 4 email accts, all but one work fine, the main one doesn't receive emails that are sent to me at all? Any idea what went wrong?

After the download, I began entering my email accounts manually. The first one "[email protected]" doesn't appear to be working properly. Emails that my friends have sent to me are not being received, test emails I have sent from my office are not geting to me either.
I have looked at the setups for the other 3 accounts and all are the same as the first, so why is this happening?? Hopefully, when you send me an answer, I will get it???
Thanks,
Ron

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Emails that were sent out of my account that i did not send that resulted in failed attempts

When checking my emails today. I noticed four emails that had apparently been sent at 4:00 am that I did not send. They appeared in the inbox as failed emails.
I am not sure what to do about this.

Contact your e-mail provider (Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc). Your mail account may be compromised.
