Something is using my yahoo mail on ipad to send to all my contacts

Something is using my Yahoo mail to send messages to my entire contact list.  I believe I know the email it came in with (or on), and have deleted that.  I have deleted all mail from inbox and trash, but do not seem to be able to delete drafts.  The drafts have all been cancelled and not sent, but still appear on screen.  The drafts appear to be the offending messages and have some bizarre to: names as well as my whole contact list.
What is it?  What further can I do to couteract?  How do I make sure I have taken care of all the damage?

Yahoo is horrible at the moment. Out of the 30 spam I may find in a day, over half of them originate from [email protected] The hackers and phishers seem to have gotten into their database bad.
What you're seeing isn't something on your iPad per se, but most likely yahoo itself. Changing the password helps. and make it a tougher one, letters and numbers.

    It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it. 
    I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

  • When using rogers.yahoo mail, I need to refresh my screen after every 2-3 actions.

    While using Rogers.yahoo mail in FireFox, the screen freezes after every 2-3 actions (read email, delete email, respond to email, move email to folder etc.). I have to refresh the screen and then it goes along for another 2-3 actions and I have to refresh again. Very frustrating. I opened the same email account in Google Chrome and IE and it works fine there. This started happening yesterday.
    In perhaps an unrelated thing, I get this error message every day, once, when I start up my PC for the past 2 months:
    Microsoft.NET Framework
    Unhanded exception has occurred in your application If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Unable to load DLL 'hppatusg01.dll': The specified module could not be found (Exception from HRESULT:0x8007007E)

    No problem.
    If the above does not fix the issue, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email.  When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing.  All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

    iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email.  When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing.  All the folders are emptied. All my mail is either read, trash, or deleted. Also, when I tap on the mail app on iPad home page, gmail is no problem but for yahoo I get error: no password for yahoo. Go to Mail Account Settings and enter password.  I'm stuck. Suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ask and you shell receive.....lol
    Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
    Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
    Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
    The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
    The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
    Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
    Go look at pop download
    There you'll find 3 numbered lines
    Go to 1. Status
    And select enable pop for all mail
    Then save the settings
    Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
    Let me know how it works out.
    I just did it and it sync within minutes.

  • TS2621 Cannot access my yahoo mail in iPad. Receive it on my iPhone. Have stopped & started both. Put the fetch to "off" & manually. Not sure what else to do.

    Cannot access my yahoo mail in iPad. Receive it on my iPhone. Have stopped &amp; started both. Put the fetch to "off" &amp; manually. Not sure what else to do.comes up with message "connection to server failed". This started when I transferred my service to a iPhone 4 to a 4s.

    Reinstalling would be about the most useless thing you could do, given that the test with the other User account works -- that means the application is OK.
    The next step that would be indicated would to remove the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences, after having Quit Mail. Subsequently when you relaunch Mail it will open as though New, but if you only enter the setup information for each account, and DECLINE when prompt to ask if you want to Import anything. Mail should rediscover the existing account folders, and all should be well.
    As a precaution, open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder -- Duplicate the Mail folder, and drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup.

  • HT201365 Since updating my iphone and adding icloud, I can no longer retrieve my yahoo mail.  I've already exhausted all options in the settings menu on my iphone.  What next?  Thanks!

    Since updating my iphone and adding icloud, I can no longer retrieve my yahoo mail.  I've already exhausted all options in the settings menu on my iphone.  What next?  Thanks!

    I just want to be able to USE iCloud on my phone
    To do that, you don't go to iCloud.com on your iPhone. You use the apps that all your iCloud data is synced into, such as Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, Reminders, Safari (for bookmarks), Photos (for Photostream) etc.

  • Having trouble receiving Yahoo mail on iPhone 6 sending mail is no problem?

    Having trouble receiving Yahoo mail on iPhone 6 sending mail is no problem?

    Any chance you use two step verification on your Yahoo account? If you've ever had to enter a code that was text messaged to you when you log into your Yahoo account on a new computer, then two step verification is probably on.
    If that is the case, you'll have to generate an app specific password in the Yahoo web mail page and enter that as your password on your Apple Device instead of your standard password in Mail Settings.

  • HT201342 will my e-mail address be automatically sent to all my contacts?

    will my e-mail address be automatically sent to all my contacts?

    No.
    If you choose to start using the optional @icloud.com email address, you will have to notify your contacts of the change.
    You'll still get all emails sent to your @me.com addresses regardless.

  • I changed my yahoo mail password. iPad--no problem, but I can't use mail on iphone5, even after going to Settings. HELP!

    I cant use yahoo mail on iPhone 5 after changing yahoo password. iPad had no problems, but nothing on iPhone 5, even after looking to "Settings". Keeps saying "Server Failed". Does anyone know how to fix this Gris Gris?

    There currently is no solution.  Apple lovers will tell you to deal with the yahoo side of things when in fact it is ALL Ape's fault.  Imagine my frustration when I finally got an iPhone 5 only to see that Yahoo IMAP mail does not work.  Thanks for technology boost, Apple!

  • Yahoo Mail On iPad - Attachments Appearing As Question Marks

    A relative of mine has a Yahoo! Mail account which she uses for e-mail on her iPad.
    She's had a problem recently that some of the attachments (JPGs) she's received haven't appeared in the Mail app on the iPad. Instead, they've shown up as question marks in boxes.
    Anyone heard of this happening before? What's going wrong?

    Your yahoo password is the same no matter what platform you access it on.
    How are you trying to get at your mail? via the mail app? yahoo app? or via yahoo's mobile site and safari?
    Try going into the settings, safari, passwords and autofill.
    look for the site in question and tap on it. You may need to enter your passcode to access the info, but once you do you can see the password you used for that site.
    On the main page that lists them all, you can see an 'edit' option. Choose that and you shoudl be able to delete the saved password for the site.

  • How do you log out of yahoo mail on ipad ?

    How do you log out from Yahoo Mail on a Ipad?

    Using the mail app? You don't. THe ipad was created to be a single user device so there's no support for locking down any single part of it.
    If you have your mail and want to keep it from other users, your best bet is to access yahoo via safari where you can log in and log out. You still get your mail access but it can be locked out as well.

  • Syncing contacts from Yahoo Mail to IPad

    I have tried to sync my Yahoo contacts to my IPad without success. My wife, who also uses the IPad had been successful in syncing her Exchange contacts but I can't do so from Yahoo.
    When I set up Yahoo mail as an account, it doesn't give you the option (in settings) to sync contacts. In setting up an Exchange account (which my wife did) there is a spot to indicate synching contacts in Settings. Any ideas on how to fix?

    With your iPad connected to your computer go to the Info Pane and there are check boxes for syncing various items. From page 31 of the iPad Users Guide:
    Contacts
    You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo!
    Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book,
    Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows
    Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
    contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one
    application at a time.)
    If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your
    new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve
    set up syncing.

  • I like Firefox browser when I use my Yahoo mail reverts to "oreiginal/old " version from latest version and this does not bhappen with Exploer or Chrome

    Using Firefox browser I can convert to the newest version of Yahoo mail and for this conversion it works satisfactorily. If I close Yahoo mail , either going to another site or closing the Browser, next time I open Yahoo mail it has reverted to old version (occasionally this does not happen but 80% of time it reverts). This does not happen with Explorer or Chrome. I have ensured updated Firefox. Tried Yahoo Ask for answer but no luck.I like Firefox Browser.
