Why do my emails appear as spam to some recipients?

I use Timewarner as my internet provider. My email through them is [email protected] I have a gmail account: [email protected] Many times when I use Thunderbird to send emails they get bounced back to me with messages telling me they're spam (they're not). Sometimes they end up in the recipients junk folder but many times they simply disappear. If I go to the Timewarner website and send the exact same email from their server it gets delivered properly. Same with gmail. It's as if Thunderbird is making my emails into spam. The recipients that I'm having trouble with do not have me marked in their spam filter. Also, it's with recipients that I've had no problems in the past-it's just suddenly they can't receive my emails. Sometimes it clears up on it's own. Other times it comes and goes. I've been using Thunderbird for over 10 years and it's only had this issue for the last year or so.
Also, possibly related, sometimes when I write a long emails and send it I get a message saying "attaching" even though there's no attachment. The email won't get sent. If I copy the email text, cancel the original, and resend it quickly it goes through. I have done several virus checks and everything seems clear.
Thank you

your latter issue sounds very like McAfee anti viruses. Your first could be anti virus related as well.

Thank you, Matt. I may have had McAfee on this computer in the past but it's long gone. I've been using Microsoft security essentials. It runs virus checks daily.
I suspect a bug in Firefox. I'm tempted to reload it but I don't want to lose any of my emails.

  • Why do my emails appear briefly, then promptly disappear?

    I am not using the cloud as my computer has programs that only work with Snow Leopard. I can send emails from either mac.com or me.com, on my iPhone or my computer, to any address and the email appears briefly, but then instantly disappears and the relevant inbox shows no messages. There is also no record on my mobile me account, which is otherwise working fine (storing pictures and files etc). The local Apple store has tried to fix it, even contacting Apple chat while I was there, but so far everyone is baffled. Any ideas?

    Correction to the above. The email only disappears if sent to the mobile me or mobile mac address. An email sent FROM either of these Apple addresses, to a different address works fine. Sorry!

  • Why does my email appear when i send an imessage?

    When I send an iMessage to someone else with an iPhone, it comes up as my email instead of my cell phone number. I haved looked all over the internet and I have also been on the phone with Tech Support for over an hour. But then he was gone all of the sudden? Does anyone know how to make my number show up instead of my email?

    Yeah send it from your phone.
    Your computer has no knowledge of your phones phone number, it is not a phone.

  • My email signature appears as attachments to some recipients

    I put an email signature together using two logos in jpeg format along with text in Mail Preferences. I just found out that people are getting these as separate attachments instead of what I see before I hit Send.
    Is there a solution to this?
    Thanks

    Thank you, this is also a problem for me.
    Is there a different file type that would allow me to include my company logo in my signature?
    Additionally, I have begun having problems in Mail where before there were none; with .pdf attachments not showing up at the recipient. Some are on MACs, some on PCs, but they show an attachment is there (paperclip) but cannot see or open an attachment. Any thoughts? If so please use plain English, I am in way over my head.
    Many thanks!!

  • TS3276 Difficulties using Stationary in Mail: Cannot save to send separately to multiple email addresses or groups. Some recipients do not see the whole email- bottom is cut off. Anyone else wrestling with this?

    Using Stationary in Mail:
    How can you save to resend to additional emails or groups? When you hit SAVE where is it saved to? SAVE AS is not an option.
    I have received complaints that only Half the message was received. Is Stationary not compatible with all mail programs or operating systems?

    O.K. I typed:
    pear upgrade --alldeps pear
    and this is what I got:
    downloading PEAR-1.4.9.tgz ...
    Starting to download PEAR-1.4.9.tgz (283,443 bytes)

    I wasn't sure if it actually upgraded it or not so I typed:
    pear info PEAR
    and I get:

    If I type:

    What does the Array() mean anyways? Moving on, then I typed:
    sudo pear upgrade --alldeps Mail
    and it upgraded successfully. Now the code is working and I am sending email again! Thank you so much for your help in leading me to the solution (--alldeps). If you find out how to get the error reporting to work again let me know, and I will do the same if I figure it out.

  • Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
    So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
    Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
    Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
    By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

  • Why my sent emails do not appear in Sent Folder?

    why my sent emails do not appear in Sent Folder?

    Are you using the Mail Ap which is apart of the Mac OS?
    Are you using an Email linked to the Mail AP, I.E. Gmail, Yahoo?
    I have noticed this issue with my Yahoo Account. Certain sent items will only be viewable on the device I sent the Email on. When I log in to my email from my Web Browser all sent mail is there. This is as far I know... I think there is something with Icloud in my suspicion will resolve this.

  • Why do some emails appear in Intenet Explorer but not on Firefox?

    My friend sent an email using a program in which she used her handwriting for the fonts. The email appears clearly when I use Internet Explorer but all that arrives when I use Firefox is a blank page although her name appears in the Inbox. I can't open some emails that require media player, either.
    Fafing

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Why do i have so much spam

    Why do I have so much spam in my in box

    Hi,
    Probably because you have visited many places and entered your email address to one place somehow. Normally you have to use filter(s) in your email agent/client to filter spams. I have to use filters for my gmail, yahoo and hotmail (Windows live) ... and they are very good. You may want to do the same.
    Regards.

  • Why my old emails show up when I use the spotlight search?

    why my deleted emails show up when I use the Spotlight search?

    Hi ..
    Try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • My iCloud email is being spammed every day now.

    I'm posting this merely to gather other users' experiences with iCloud mail recently.  I used to brag zealously that Apple's .Mac/MobileMe/iCloud mail was fantastic because I rarely received Junk Mail and when I did, it was forwarded to [email protected] to rarely return.  As of less than a month ago, my email address has been oblitereated with spam daily. It started with 5-10 a day and is now 1 every few minutes throughout the day. I'm doing the recommended "Mark As Junk" and "Forward As Attachment" to [email protected], but there's been no mercy.
    What has been your experience with your iCloud email service recently?

    I've been bombarded by SPAM to mail the past month ... it has gotten worse the last few weeks. I am using trial software called SPAMsieve --- which costs $30, but I can't imagine why Mail/icloud cannot handle the SPAM without me having to purchase a plug-in. The SPAM coming through is so obviously spam ... it is not even close to being questionable as being otherwise.

  • Sent email appears on Inbox???

    Hi,
    Every time when I push to reply to an incoming email and then push to send, this "sent" email appears on "Inbox" as well as on "Sent" folders. Its quiet annoying to delete them manually from inbox every time. Why sent emails should be on Inbox? How to avoid it?
    Thanks

    BBC is short for Blind Carbon Copy. When addressing an email, if you place a contact or contacts in the BCC field along with contacts in the To and CC fields (CC is short for Carbon Copy), the contacts entered in the BCC field will not be seen with the email recipients entered in the To and CC fields when the email is received by all recipients.

  • I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5.  When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different.  Why doesn't it appear edited?

    People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
    People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
    ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
    Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
    So IMO we can divide image processing into:
    operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
    operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
    When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
    Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
    ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

  • HT5624 Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ????

    Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ???? I also set up my apple ID with a new email account and also I signed up for iCloud but used the same apple I'd email and password but it gave me a I cloud email! I did activate the favorites in my email . Noticed the from field has my fathers name and contact and it is a notification about me using my apple ID to sign in to FaceTime! Something is messed up, not sure how or why???

    i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
    do a true clean install
    reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
    at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
    exit disk utlity
    at menu, choose install OSX
    this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
    you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue
