Spam is being sent with my email address on it!

I get a few spam messages re drugs every day.  What concerns me is that they may be using my email address to send these messages to others.  How do I stop them from posting messages with my email address on them?  How do I deal with this?  Any hints?

Once a spammer has your email address that is pretty much end of it.  Nothing you can do other make a main account email address for only important things and use the other free email address until they get spammed like this and delete them.  then start a new email.
Another option is to use Gmail and use it as a spam filter in a way.  Use Gmail to read and send emails, but make it forward only the emails you want to you verizon email address. 
Stay clear from Env3 and Env Touch. They are sub-par due to many software problems that need addressed. The consumer is the guinea pig in this lab experiment they want to call a 'cellphone'......

    No that was not it. I was signed into my iMessages under my email address as soon as I signed out others can now receive my texts under my number. Thanks for the help though

  • When I try to sign in to iCloud it says it needs to be verified by a different email. But no email is being sent to this email address. Why not?

    I keep trying to sign in and it keeps saying "Check your email at ***********.com for instructions to verify this account." But there is no email or message being received at this email address. I really want to use iCloud and I'm not understanding why this is not working. I'm thinking there needs to be another email sent but I am just not aware of how to send it. Please help me.

    You must have had another apple ID at some stage with its own password and it is that ID that must e the primary or rescure email address for the ID.  Go to appleid.apple.com and then to manage ID and see if you can't sort it there

  • Images not being sent with forwarded emails

    Hi,
    When I forward an email sent to me that has attached images, those images are not being sent when I forward the email.
    Yes, I am being asked to "Include" the attachments, and I click the Include button.
    I see the images in my message to be forwarded just before I send it, but the recipient does not get the images.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Forwarding Mail fails to include pictures

    Recently I've had a problem with my iPhone 3Gs when I forward an email that contains graphics. The graphic is fine on my iPhone but when it arrives the picture is missing. I am selecting 'include graphics'.
    I've re-booted - no change.
    I've restored from a backup - no change.
    I've restored without using the backup - no change (other than I lost a couple email accounts etc.)
    Anybody got any other suggestions?
    TIA

    I have been having the same issue since late September and been in touch with Apple support since. First they said they had no other reports on it so it was my phone. I started checking and found many other with the same issue. I called back and finally in November I was told they were aware of the issue and was working on it. The first week of January I called again and was told the update first week of February was going to correct this. I did the new software update and guest what....IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!!! It is now February 14th and I am on the phone once again for the same issue that was known back in October 2009. I am paying $30 for data plan that I can not utilize 100%. My question after being patient for 5 months is who is going to refund me a portion of my data plan? Apple or AT&T?? This is a software problem that really needs addressed. Apple just releases an iPAD and can't correct this email issue??

  • Password reset email being sent to an email address other than my id

    Hi,
    I am having a strange issue with password reset emails. I have two email addresses. Hypothetically [email protected] and [email protected] My apple ID uses the login id of [email protected] and has another account associated with it called [email protected] When I request a password reset it is sent to [email protected] I can't find out why it's sending it to this account that I don't see as being linked to my apple ID. At some point in the past I have must have had this email address, [email protected], associated with my account but don't see it anywhere. I can still access this email address and can still retrieve the emails but I will be losing this email address next year... I get all notification emails to my @home address - only the reset emails go to @work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Serialc

    So an example of why this is weird if I was not clear. When I change my apple id phone numer I receive an email on [email protected], when I ask for a password reminder I receive it on [email protected]
    I have tried changing my primary username/password to [email protected] and back to [email protected] to try and reset things - no change.

  • How do you stop sms messages automatically being sent to an email address instead of a phone number?

    I have noticed that sometimes (particularly when sending an sms to multiple people) my iphone 4s will send the message to peoples email addresses. This happens despite there being a phone number listed on the contact. You would have thought that an sms would automatically send to a phone number if there is one available for the contact, but instead it is sending the sms to an email address without warning. This results in me being charged for an mms and the recipient not recieving the text at their phone number. It happens when sending messages to both iphone users and non iphone users.
    Does anyone know a way of fixing this?

    I think its fixed. I had to sign iMessages in on my Apple ID, but then deselect my email addresses to make it behave the way it should. Now if I could get iMessage to only send response alerts to the last device I used, instead of late night texts going to every device I own in the house and waking everyone up.
    For some reason, the free iCloud address I automatically received (when Apple was trying to force people to leave Mac.com) is "hardwired" into iMessage. People were also getting texts from that address even though I was on my phone. I tried to delete it but iOS tells me I can't. I don't use that address, I won't ever use it, too bad I can't make it go away.

  • Outgoing emails are not being sent from my email address all of a sudden. It started happening when I changed my gmail password

    After I changed my gmail password my outgoing emails are no longer being sent from my gmail account, but are being sent from my spouse's account so that replies go into her inbox, not mine. 

    rigoran1231,
    You may have a corrupt preference, in order to correct this open Mail - Preferences - Accounts and re-input all the preferences for the account. While they may look ok one or more may be corrupt.

  • My imessage texts are being sent from my email address and not my phone number.

    How do I change so imessages are sent from my phone number again and not my email?

    To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address.  Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage.  If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

    All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • I have a problem with a few emails i wrote which were in the outbox. The outbox disappeared all of a sudden with my mails... However they were not sent since the email address was not correct (just 3 initials). Is there a way to get it back somewhere?

    Hello,
    I have a problem with a few emails i wrote which were in the outbox. The outbox disappeared all of a sudden with my mails... However they were not sent since the email address was not correct (just 3 initials). I was waiting to find out the correct email address of that person, put in in and then sen it...Is there a way to get it back somewhere on the ipad or in some cached folder?
    Many thanks for an answe to this.
    Swisslady2

    There is no cache where the emails would be stored on the iPad, but you could try quitting the mail app and then launch it again and see if the emails return.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Tap the home button. Then try mail again.
