Your help, please...contacts received cryptic e-mails that I did not send

Your help, please...
Some of my contacts have received cryptic e-mails that I did not send.
How do I "clean" my computer?
Thank you!

There's nothing wrong with your Mac. One of your PC friends/co-workers has had his address book compromised and the malware is sending out emails from his address book as if they came from the person who's name is in their address book.

Friend received a text from me saying that to read the text he should hit the download button that i did not send

Just got a text from a friend that claims he received a text from me. This text told him that to "receive my text" he needed to hit a download button that was in the text. i DID NOT send him any text! This is alarming! I immediately changed my Apple ID and password. Should i be worried? Has anyone experienced this and what does it mean?!

Perhaps your friends phone has been hacked.
Unless yours has been jailbroken, it has not been hacked.
It would seem far more likely that your friend has the issue, than you.

Yahoo mail sent from iPhone 4 that I did not send

There have been two messages that show they were sent from my iPhone yahoo account (set up in the regular mailbox, not another application for email) that are links. Other than the link, it only says it is sent from iPhone. The message is not shown in my sent mail (like all other messages I send), and it gets sent to a few random recipients from my contact list (not the entire list).
Is this a virus? Would it be coming from some application I have on the phone? Please help! I don't want to have my phone sending people random links!
Thank you

The problem is with your email provider. I suspect someone has hacked your account because you use the same password for most of your online work. You should change your password and not use the same password for most of your on-line accounts, most people are lazy and don't use different passwords because they can't remember them all. You should begin changing your passwords and using a password management tool to help you remember. If you need help choosing one Google "OS X Password Managers" to find some reviews.

How to block or stop hundreds of mail delivery notices that I did not send

how to block hundreds of incoming email delivery notices that I did not send out

It sounds as though someone hacked into your email account and/or the account of one of your friends and stole email addresses to use as sender and recipient for spam messages.
Since the damage is already done so to speak, there isn't a whole lot to do but: do change your email address and send out an email to your friends that the other emails are not from you and not to open or click on anything contained in them.
Unfortunately, this is happening more and more.

Mail Returned That I did not send

i am getting email returned that I did not send. Frequently it is to Russia

A common spamming technique. Of course you want to ignore it and perhaps report it as spam.

I am getting undeliverable mail from people I did not send mail to. How can I get this to stop?

I recently received rejected mail notices from Postmaster that I did not send and are encrytped. My address is being used, and I do not know these web addresses these emails were being sent to. How can I resolve this issue?

We will need more information to be able to assist you.
These message yoy are receiving are probably just a particular type of spam. However it is also possible (unlikely) that your email account is being used to send spam, and that these are the bounce messages.
To tell the difference, you need to look at the email headers. Open the message, then go to the View menu and select Message -> All Headers.
Select the text and post it back here (remembering to obscure your own email address first).

Friends Receiving Texts from Me I Did NOT Send

Apparently over the past week my friends have been getting a strange poem texted from my number that I did not send them, the text does not appear on my iPhone 4S either, the text says:
"because i've taken upon the challenge
to write a book this month
chup and i have resorted to the one
thing we avoid like a mortal enemy:
a schedule.
each hour is designated as a workspace
each day has an ample to do list
we're dedicated to accomplishing
the work.
with my time allotted out
and not much for wiggle room
i am surprised to find how much more
i get done in a day.
yesterday i wrote,
i cooked
i worked
i cleaned
i fed the baby
(interspersing)
i napped
i read books to the children
and just before sunset
we hiked the dusty
shoreline trail.
it makes me wonder
if having a schedule gives me
so much more time,
will my second mortal enemy
(a budget)
give me
more
money?
thanks Page and dog Dixie for the beautiful evening on the trail.
this month I've decided to write a book while simultaneously breastfeeding my baby and battling the postpartum blues. should be a blast. will i get it done?
stay tuned . . "
Pretty strange....thanks in advance for any help.

2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different). I am running 10.7.5. I searched everywhere and nothing. Not on iCloud either.

2 people sent e-mails to me today and I did not receive them. They both were replies to my e-mail (both different). I am running 10.7.5. I searched everywhere and nothing. Not on iCloud either. This happened a few years ago and never noticed it again. I received emails before and after the 2 that never showed up so can't figure out why I didn't get them! Does Apple automatically delete some emails based on text? These were nothing crazy. One was about decorating cookies for a party and which colors to use! HELP! Now I am worried I am missing important emails!

Greetings Val Val,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are not receiving some email from an account that you have set up on your Mac. To begin the troubleshooting process, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article.

Have a great day,

Some received an e-mail i did not send! have i been hacked? what do i do?

Someone just asked if I sent an e-mail to her...and a lot of other people that are in my address list were sent it as well. I DID NOT send it! What do I do? Have I been hacked? Help please.
Thank you!

Was it some kind of spam?
One possibility is that someone has access to your account. The best thing to do about that is immediately change your password.
Another possibility is that there is malware on your computer manipulating it. This article lists a variety of tools you can use to supplement your regular security software in checking for and removing malware: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Another possibility is that at some point, someone got a copy of your address book, but they are sending the messages from a different account. Unfortunately, it is easy for spammers to "forge" your name and email address as the sender of a message.
Or maybe it's a coincidence and spammers are randomly mixing and matching from and to addresses to see if they can slip past the filters?
I think without more information from the recipient(s), it is difficult to know which of these is the case. For example, the recipients could compare the message headers for a real message and a spam message and compare the servers the messages passed through. Spam sent by automated means from elsewhere on the internet usually travels through a different set of servers between the sender and recipient. That's what I would expect to find. If they are identical, then I would be more concerned about malware or an intruder on your account.

Hello,
I'll try to explain my problem (not that you did not understand, but my explanations may be long and difficult).
I'm Lion 10.7.3 on iMac and I use Mail as my mail manager.
My ISP (access , mails) is "VOO".
At mail I am often "over quota" because the server VOO grants only 40M. I would like to address this problem. I contacted VOO but they tell me not to know and do not appear to increase capacity at the moment.
My idea was:
- All messages received at the server VOO would be automatically transferred to another address (eg ................. @me.com, my address icloud) whose capacity is much greater.
- But the problem is that nothing is planned at the server level VOO to perform this maneuver!
- Therefore, I turn to you to ask yourself the question, one of you has it you an idea, a suggestion, a solution?
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thank you in advance for taking the trouble to read and possibly to follow up my request.
How do I ask to go and read icloud (permanently) my mail to another address, that of my server?
Philippe (philippe.thiriet @ me.com)

Thank you for your reply and the clarification it brings me.
Voo is imap of course and does not provide the possibility of forwarder mails to another address.
Since I use MAIL and I receive messages without any problems sent to me on my address icloud (............... @me.com) I think to ask all in my address book to send me on my address on icloud. Is it a good idea?
Could you tell me how much space I have in icloud? 40M is the highest in VOO.
Thank you for your help and for the time you devote to my problem.
Philippe

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I am receiving emails from apple to reset my password that I have not requested

Hi wondering if anyone could help. About 3 weeks ago I received an email from apple that my apple ID was used to download an app that was not from the device which is normally used. This was initiated from the United States, I am in n.ireland. As this was not me I followed the instructions & changed my password. However the past 2 days I have received 7 emails from apple on how to reset my apple ID that I did not initiate & am concerned that someone is trying to get access to my apple account. Has this ever happened anyone else? If so how did you deal with the problem as I can't seem to get through to apple to discus the matter. Thanks

That's very scary. They might do it, but I personally have never had Apple contact me re id's except on their site when signing in. I suggest you DO NOT respond until you have a phone conversation with Apple security. They can verify if they sent you the e-mail and why.
While it's very possible it's true,again, I suggest you not respond until you speak to someone at Apple. I've often read here that when people sign in they are not allowed to because "someone else has used the id" type of statement.
Also, you should be able to go to the app store and see what apps you have downloaded.
Though it could have been a free app, have you checked to see if any were bought with your id account?
I've gotten these types of e-mails from places like USPS and FedEx which look amazingly authentic and were from their website. I also received an odd e-mail from my cousin in Ireland last year that clearly was not from him. It was also sent to others in his family in Ireland. I e-mailed him that I only opened it because it had a .ie, but suggested he change... Days later I received mail from 'him' - same name, but at yahoo.com.
Again, I would call Apple. You can also report it at [email protected], but I would not settle for that given your situation. If nothing else, call Apple sales (sales depts. anywhere answer fast) and ask them to transfer you to security. Apple will not want anybody accessing their name, and while it's unlikely, it's not impossible that it is someone phishing.
Hope this helps and can you let the support community know your results by posting on this thread when you're done? Thank you.
Hope this helps.
