Why am I getting unauthorised emails into my account and can't remove
I switched my domain from long term USA hosting, to 1and1 in UK and now have a problem with my Mozilla Thunderbird email client.
I set up my email addresses only with no web page file uploads. I decided 1and1 were not for me, so I cancelled my account the following day and removed all of my email addresses from the hosting account. Since then, emails continued to arrive from 1and1.
Initially four emails IN folders were somehow created, which I deleted and have not reappeared. However the emails folders (?) which were in my account have returned and continue to do so almost immediately after I delete them as follows...
No uploads and/or copy/paste?
OK ? ? ? ? OK
I have contacted 1and1 a number of times to ask them to clear my hosting account completely including all my files. They have assured me that my domain has been cleared completely and I assume they have done so. My ISP account is clear too.
It is a mystery to me and I am somewhat concerned that a spammer or hacker has installed malware or similar on my PC. I have checked with my Panda anti-virus, Malware Bytes and AdWcleaner.
Could you please advise.
Thank you,
Art.
Note that there are sites that sell your email address to spammers when you signup with sites. Are you sure this is not the case.
This is something that happened to my Gmail account and I switched providers, haven't seen problems since.

I have set up two email accounts on my iphone4, one with tiscali, my ISP, and the other on gmail. I am able to receive emails on both accounts, and can send emails from my gmail account, but am "Unable to Send Email" from my tiscali (talktalk) account. I get the error message "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address "name"@tiscali.co.uk was rejected by the server".

I need to get my emails via Optus webmail, and can't
we moved house and have gone from Internet cable with Optus, to ADSL via Telstra. I can still see all our emails on Mozilla Thunderbird (from the desktop), but cannot reply to them, forward them, or create a new message. However, my webmail via Optus isn't showing any incoming emails, or Contacts. When I rang Optus they say its a setting on Thunderbird that's stopping emails coming in (and having no Contacts showing) on my webmail account, and to contact you to get it fixed. I don't mind which way we access our emails - via Optus webmail, or Thunderbird, but whichever way works, it must work as it used to, and right now neither way works the way it ought to - can you help please? Vicki.
If you used Optus as ISP and then moved to Telsa as your ISP. Then perhaps you are not paying for the Optus service, so it will have no incoming or outgoing mail. the webmail account will be inactive. Sometimes they allow a short period to get emails off the server, but if you left Optus then they have no obligation to maintain the account.
''re: my webmail via Optus isn't showing any incoming emails, or Contacts. When I rang Optus they say its a setting on Thunderbird that's stopping emails coming in ''.
Thunderbird has nothing to do with Optus webmail account. If Optus webmail viewed via a browser has no emails coming in then it is likely to do with you not paying for Optus service.
Thunderbird downloads from Optus, if optus webmail account has no emails or service has been stopped then Thunderbird will not download anything.
what you do not say is whether you had all your emails in IMAP or Pop mail account with Optus.
If IMAP then move those emails into Local Folders.
What you also do not say is whether you are still using the same email address or have been issued with another to use with Telsa.
Does Telsa allow you to use the email address you either used with or were issued by Optus?
Usually, if you stop using current ISP and they issued the email address, then the email address cannot be used via another ISP.
Have you set up a new email account to use Telsa? -
FAQ: I opted out of marketing email from Adobe. Why did I get an email about Elements membership?
Q: I opted out of marketing email from Adobe. Why did I get an email about Elements membership?
A: The email you received was an operational notice regarding changes to Elements membership. Only users who may be affected by these changes received this email.Hi Steve,
I can personally ensure you get it if after waiting the 60 days you still haven't recieved it yet.
You would also want to ensure:
- You have the annual (yearly) Creative Cloud plan
- You log into the Creative Cloud website from within 3 of the Adobe Touch Apps from the tablet using your Adobe ID associated with your membership
If all this looks correct and you don't recieve an email after the 60 days, send me a private message and I'll ensure you get it.

I placed an order to upgrade my phone yesterday, and the order went through, I was told the new phone would arrive Thursday. After I got home from work today I saw an email from Verizon that says "Dear Customer:
Verizon Fraud Prevention Team is currently reviewing the following order on your wireless account. Please call the Verizon Fraud Prevention Team at 888-483-7200 option 3, press 1 to verify this Order."
I called this number immediately, since I need this phone ASAP, assuming it would just be a recording and I would have to verify an account number or something. But instead, after following the instructions, I was put on hold because I needed to speak to someone in person. After several instances of my call being cut off after being on hold for at least half an hour, I finally got through after three hours and was able to speak to a fraud representative. I gave her my info and told her the problem and she told me I had called the wrong department. Instead of the fraud department, I needed the online order department. She transferred me, and I waited on hold again. When the representative from the online order dept picked up, she first told me if it was a fraud issue I'd need to speak with the fraud dept - who had JUST transferred me to her. After this, she said that my order is not on hold, because it hasn't even been processed yet or had the credit check done. When I asked if this meant I hadn't needed to call at all, she said yes. Is this actually true or is there a chance that there's an issue with my order I don't know about? If there is no issue, these emails really shouldn't be sent out, they're incredibly misleading, and I've wasted a whole lot of time and experienced an incredible amount of anxiety for no reason.Hi. I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put in the first place
1. Because if you could, someone who breaks into your account could do it as well.
2. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

TS4009 Why did I get an email from apple saying my iCloud storage is being downgraded?
Why did I get an email from apple saying my iCloud storage is being downgraded?
You were (previously) a member at MobileMe and got 20GB's of free iCloud storage in addition to the 5GB's offered by the "free" iCloud service.
At the end of this month the 20GB's will go "poof" (like the rest of MobileMe). -
Hello sir Every time I do the process of registration in Mogah Apple Store and the period and the period of the account is lost I do not know what the problem is there are people who enter into my account and change email We ask God to help you have an account I can not restore it the way I do not know where and I do not speak English Aalit Aalit help me I'm in a state of panic for your reply eagerly awaited
This old Emily Hope you reply and help me [email protected]For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is talking. How do I make the voice stop and my IPAD work again.
If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither -
I have just downloaded ML. I can get my email via iCloud, but I can't get it on MAIL 6.0. I have done the JAVA thing--seems to be OK. MAIL 6.0 on my desktop won't sync with Mobile Me and won't download emails. Any suggestions?
Just did something--am not sure what, probably in the "iCloud"--but seems to be working at last!

icloud keeps emailing me saying my account cannot be billed - please go to "settings" and click on "accounts". There is no "accounts" in my icloud . I checked into apple accounts and it says the credit card has expired. It has not. what now?
The credit card used is that registered in the iTunes Store. Open the Store and go to your account. Click 'edit' next to 'payment details' and amend the card details if necessary.

Someone has hacked into my account and sending emails (iCloud) pretending to be me. I've changed my icloud password. Do i need to do anything else?
You should consider enabling two-factor verification on your Apple ID, to further protect it. Without doing that, it's entirely possible that a hacker who gains access to your account in the future could take control of your Apple ID away from you entirely.
You also should consider whether any confidential information might be stored in iCloud. If you have made the mistake of putting a list of passwords in the Notes app, for example, that list should be considered compromised, and all passwords should be changed (and removed from the Notes app).
If you used the same password as your old iCloud password for other accounts, you need to change the password on all those accounts.
You should also alert your contacts that your e-mail was compromised, so that they are cautious about trusting any attachments supposedly coming from you. Keep in mind that the spammer can continue to "spoof" your e-mail address on the From line of new e-mail messages, even without access to your e-mail account. -
I was ask for my secure question and they did not work. So I went into my account and tap on my secure question that I forgot my secure question. It replied back that it just sent me a email. The email never came. I did this three time. You have myy email as correct. I have check my account and it show as being correct.
It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there.
