Seven people accessing my e mail??

I was having difficulty getting my email to day and spoke with Verizon (my ISP), Apple (my cpu) and eventually through Google to "Tech Support Corner" who through Logmein told me that seven people had access to my email and tried to sell me an expensive comprehensive security system.
Is it possible for there to be a Trojan Horse (?) on my Mac if that is the problem?
Is there a way of eliminating it/them if it is a problem?
How can this tech support/salesman see that there are 7 people having access to my email?
I am not sure I have all the information correct as i was was quite surprised and somewhat confused by the revelation.
Any thoughts or experiemce with this?
Thanks
Martin
I am using a MacBook Pro with System 10.8.5

I don't necessarily think that it is a Trojan Horse that is on your computer causing any issues. From what I understand there isn't those type of things on Mac computers, but that isn't to say that it can't happen. Are you using the same password on Gmail that you use on other sites? If this is the case, you could have someone who has gotten information from those sites that then has your password to your email. I would make sure your password is different there then on other sites, that is one of the reason they tell you not to use the same one there. The person from Gmail can take a look and see who has access to your site by taking a look at what devices are able to connect. This can be done by taking a look at MAC addresses and IP address and things like that which are connecting to the account.

Trouble with people using my e-mail link on my contact page

Some people using my e-mail link on my contact page aren't able to reach my e-mail account. I use statcounter so I can see that they have exited through the e-mail link, but then I never get the e-mail. I use g-mail and anytime I test the link it seems to work.
Anyone else have trouble like this?
Is there a more reliable way to have email access using iWeb?

Firefox will not automatically load Tiscali and after I have loaded using START it will not access my e-mails on tiscali

Until I loaded the latest version of Firefox I accessed Tiscali without difficulty usong the Icon. Now it will not access the internet at all and I have to use Windows to access the internet. Tiscali then loads but i cannot access my e-mails and I get a message telling me I have 'undefined e-mails'. Windows Explorer works perfectly

Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

How can I confirm my e-mail address if I can't access my e-mails, which is what my question is about.

You've just asked me to confirm my e-mail address as an e-mail will be sent to me. Since my original question was that I can't access my e-mails, how do you suppose I can confirm my e-mail address. I thought this was supposed to help me, not complicate my problems with Firefox.

It looks as though you got through somehow. I replied to your actual question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/954553

Can I Access my iCloud mails from 10.6

Hi Haven't upgraded my mail mobileme account to icloud because I need access to the mails while working in 10.6. I do spent a fair amount of my sparetime editing in Final Cut Pro Studio on my Mac Pro. And I have been unable to get it to work proberly in 10.7.x. I thus do need access to 10.6.x. I tried installing Final Cut on a newly formatted and installed 10.7.x disc, but the program crashes on startup. It does not do that when working in 10.6.x
If I upgrade to iCloude. Will I then be able to access my mails while working in 10.6.x ?
Best regards

You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You may be able to sync you calendars to iCloud by means of a hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarsk and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

I want to set up an email alias but I keep being told I need to access "preferences" in mail. I don't seem to have that open when I go into mail it takes me straight to my inbox. Thanks for any help.

Hi. I am new to using an iPad. I have set up an icloud email address for use by all the family.. I want to set up my own as my pop email does not seem to work well on this apple platform. I have tried to self help but I'm being asked to access the icloud mail preferences. I can't seem to do that. When I go into my mail app it takes me straight to my in box. I can't find a way of accessing preferences. Can someone help please?

An Alias would be an email address that is delivered to a different account's inbox.
For instance if you have [email protected] and have [email protected] Then [email protected] would be an alias if mails from that address arrive at the icloud address.
If you want to add a completely different account, with a spearate inbox, like an account in hotmail and one in say yahoo mail. Then as has been pointed out, you need to go into the Settings Icon, Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then on add account. The iPad has several services preconfigured, you can tap on one of those from the list to setup an email for that service. Such as Hotmail, Gmail etc...
Or you can tap on other to add a personal pop3 or imap type email like from your office, or your school.

Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail. Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
Thanks in advance

Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address.

Hi there
I had the same problem and I found this answer to a similar question to ours, so I copied and pasted it for you
Reset the device by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds. After it resets the message will be gone and you can go to settings > icloud and put in your password.
That seems to be a bug with the password alert where it won't respond correctly sometimes.
Hope this helps

Unable to access my iCloud mail from an portal and need in ASAP. How can I access my messages?

At around 9:00P Pacific last night, I received my last email message through iCloud to my [email protected] address. I've tried on my iPad, PC, MacBook Pro and iPhone. I've done a full password reset to be compliant with the newest password standards. I've deleted my iCloud account from my MacBook Pro and iPhone. I've reset network setting on iPhone. Then I tried to log into iCloud.com (should have tried earlier) and I can get to all my applications (calendar, documents, etc.), EXCEPT Mail. I can't find any available route to access my .me mail and need to get to it urgently for travel plans and work documents.
Any suggestions? Please assist if possible.
So far, Apple hasn't been able to help either.
TA

The Apple Support Page, http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/ has the following on the status:
iCloud: Mail & Notes - Users Affected: <1%
01/08/2012 09:43 PST
Users may be unable to access Mail. Service is expected to be restored by 8pm PST today. All messages will be delivered at that time.

I use Firefox to access AOL e mail, I want to delete a username where I sign in for AOL mail. How do I do this?

One day I went on Firefox to go to AOL, once on AOL I went to sign in to get my e mail. By mistake I typed my password in the space for Username. I erased it but ever since that day, when I click on the username space, among the offered usernames, from the drop down menu, is my pass word and I want to delete it so it never appears on that drop down menu of usernames. Thanks.
JEFF

Thanks, Mandel. The undesired username is not stored in AOL. For instance if I would use Safari to access AOL e mail, the undesirable username '''''does not''''' appear. It only appears when I'm using Firefox to access AOL and then sign in for my AOL e mail and click on the username space. This bad username is there because one day I typed it in by mistake and Firefox for some reason remembers it whenever I sign on. Thanks for any further info. JEFF
