Why is Adobe selling my email address?

Can you please tell me why you are selling my email address? I am now getting my inbox full of spam!

I started receiving spam on 6th February. The chat session went like this...
Pradeep: Please be informed that Adobe does not sell the email address to any third parties. Also there is no reports of any suspicious activity on our servers. Is there anything else I can help you with
Me: Okay, so the only explanation is that someone has successfully circumvented your security and taken information without your knowledge?
Pradeep: I am sorry but Adobe has all the confidential information stored securely. We have not lost any of our information.... We do not have any confidential data lost from our servers.
Me: Either you are lying or the adobe website is wrong. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/customer-alert.html
He went on to tell me that my information was not lost in the October 2013 incident. So there must be another one. All mails sent to my adobe address are now being redirected to spamcop and I am very unimpressed with Pradeep's response.

Adobe sharing your email address with spammers

On 16th Jan 2009 I downloaded Adobe Flash player. To do this
I was required to provide an email address. As I can't stand spam,
I bought my own domain, and never provide the same email address
twice. Different person or company, different email address
provided. Yes, it's a bit more work, but you do get to find out who
is spamming, and who is selling your email address to spammers.
Okay, so today 26th March 2009, I get an email with following
contents:
and one night she captured my soul
kuavnaibezi.com
***** couple,how spend moments together....
The email was supposedly from "Chadwick Witten", with "from"
address of "[email protected]". The site being promoted sells
viagra etc.
The email address that this spam was sent to was provided on
the adobe flash download site in a form, and nowhere else.
I expect that the above spam will also be sent to most of the
people in this forum. Now you know why it got to you.

Hate to break it to you, but that does not specifically
implicate Adobe in the leaking of that email address.
It means 1 of 2 things:
1. As you say, Adobe shares
OR
2. That form has been compromised by a hacker.
BUT
I never gave Adobe my email address to download the
flashPlayer - are you sure you were on the Adobe site and not a
mocked one?
|| EDIT ||
Just confirmed my suspiction myself. Went to
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
(the official page) and all that I was presented with to get the
download was a button. Click the button, the install happens - no
email to input.

Adobe ID old email address

I got a new iPad and downloaded the reader app for my Sony Ereader. It asks me to login to Adobe but the email address we originally used to set this up is no longer valid. I have tried every combination I can think of.
Is there any way to change the email address to my current one??
I cannot reset the password as I can't retrieve the email sent to that non existent email address.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you have forgotten the password and don't have access to the email any more, try Adobe Live Chat: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
If you don't have any DRM books that are associated with your old ID, just forget the ID and set yourself up a new one.

Adobe ID: Change Email Address

My ID is using an email address that I'm trying to get rid of.
Can I change my contact email and will my Adobe ID change too? Will this affect my Creative Cloud membership?
Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
Go to the My Adobe page and click My Adobe ID under My Information. Specify your Adobe ID (that is not an email address) and Adobe ID password. After you sign in, you can change your Adobe ID to your email address.
As in the exceprts in the Documents, I could find:
Customers can update their Adobe ID in My Adobe providing the email address hasn’t already been used to create an Adobe ID

Adobe SEND - Contact email addresses lost during SendNow to Send conversion. In addition, SEND does not remember email addresses. Boooo!

Why would Adobe ignore such a convenient feature.
It's a hassle to keep on entering the sale email addresses over and over again.

Hi,
According to the error message, outlook.com block your IP address. This may be caused by that your Exchange server was affected by some malware and send out many junk emails. Thus, I recommend you apply more Exchange server protection method:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691338(v=exchg.141).aspx
And you can use Sender Filter agent to block messages:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124354(v=exchg.141).aspx
Additionally, We understand the issue brings troubles and inconveniences to you. However, since your account is blocked by Outlook.com, We’d better post the issue on Outlook.com Forum for more help:

Thanks for your understanding in advance.

Why does Signature with an email address appear on the top left hand corner of each template? Is there a way to remove this or is it standard? Thank you!

I'm not sure this is necessary or is it proof to the customer of where the proof/invoice is coming from for approval?
Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi Brandon,
By default, if you are not placing the signature field in document manually, a signature block ( having signature and email address ) is placed at the bottom left corner of document by default.
While sending the document from Send tab, just check "Preview, Position Signatures or add form fields" and hit Next. In Preview page, you can drag and drop Signature field along with other form fields at appropriate position in document.
Here is the link for reference:

Let me know if you need more help.

Why Can't I slide email addresses from MAIL to ADDRESS BOOK :-(

Am I missing something?
Why can't I slide all the email addresses from an email to a group in my Address Boob. I am shocked that this is not easily possible.
Am I missing the easy way to do this?

In addition to the suggestions, [Mails Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has an applescript that will collect all the addresses in an email and give you the option to select a subset and save to a group or make a new group.

Why can't Mail access email addresses from Contacts?

So, here is a typical scenario: I have an email to write to a friend of mine. Being a close friend of mine, his email address is saved in Contacts. I boot up Apple Mail, and create a new email. So far so good. I start typing my friend's name into the "To:" field, but nothing comes up in the auto-search. I remember how his email starts, so I start typing his email in, but once again, nothing comes up. I boot up Contacts, just to be sure, and his email is in there. Finally I copy and paste it into Mail.
WHAT THE ****??? AM I MISSING SOMETHING??
I know that I can look up Contacts from within Mail, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want Mail to automatically start search through my Contacts whenever I start typing into the To: field. But instead, it only searches through my previous recipients? I've also noticed that it doesn't pull up email addresses that were CC'd on emails I've recieved. In order to find those, I have to do a Spotlight search in Mail (which immediately finds the email address and even identifies it as a person), and then copy and paste it from Mail into Mail.
Am I missing some setting? When did the automatic search in the To: field become useless? Did I go into a coma and wake up in a world where Apple hates a positive user experience? Which OS update killed this functionality and why?
Really, any light on the subject or work-arounds would be appreciated. I've tried Postbox, and while the To: search works sensibly there, the program is slow as molassas. It is as awful to use as Mail, just in different ways. I'd switch to browser based email, but I have three addresses, and Gmail only imports POP accounts, one of mine is IMAP only . . . honestly, I'm to the point where I want to just stop using email all together. I have other complaints, but this is the most inexplicable and annoying.
Maybe I'll invest in carrier pidgeons.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Why must I reinsert my email address and password ...

When I try to view new pages within the Bt website I get the log in message even if I've just logged in. Why does this happen? Also when I try to log in to my "new" homepage which is hideous by the way the site miraculously refuses to log me in even though I us the remember my tick box WHY?

Hi shelby,
You need to do the following:
1.     Sign into Manage your Apple ID with your current ID and password, and EDIT the ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account.Type in your current password when asked, then follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account from your device
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old ID and the current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to the new email address. You may have to verify it again.
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new ID
Cheers,

Why people get a wierd email address along side my main address when I reply through iPhone?

Hi,
it was brought to my attention that we I sent a reply to someone through iPhone, first the recipient doesnt see my address in "From" and when they hit reply back to me, another strange email appears along side my email.
For example: I emailed "[email protected]", she gets my email but my email address doenst appear in the "From" field and when press reply back to me, two address appear "mine" and this strange address "[email protected]" which btw keeps chaning with each email exchange to [email protected] o or [email protected]..etc
and this only happens when I send an email from iPhone..it doesnt appear when I use my desktop email client.
is this a normal thing?

We are short on information. Settings may depend on your Mac OSX version, which we don't yet know. Please let us know the version, plus how you are sending/receiving mail: a mail client installed like Apple Mail, Ms Outlook, or Entourage; or by visiting a web site like yahoo, hotmail, or gmail.

Why can't I enter email addresses?

I registered on my Macbook last night for Facetime but I can't enter email addresses or phone numbers into those fields under New Contact. As soon as I type the first character, a red NO ENTRY sign appears to the left of the field.

The Facetime contacts list mirrors your contacts list on your Mac. To add a contact to your Facetime contacts list, you would go to your Mac contacts list and you should find it imported to your Facetime contacts . I am not familiar with a designated "new contacts" list, as I don't have that option on my iMac or iPad.

Why does Apple claim my email address is invalid?

I'm attempting to change my alternate email address from a "hotmail.com" to a "ymail.com". When I type in my "ymail.com" address, I get an error (in RED) under my email address that states: "Please specify a valid email address". Whom do I inform that "ymail.com" (as well as "rocketmail.com") is part of "yahoo.com", and is clearly a VALID email domain?

it is doing the same thing to me and my brother

Why won't my iCloud email address set up on mac mail?

Been trying to use my iCloud alias email address by setting up iCloud on my mac mail. It connects iCloud but says the password is wrong for the icloud address...but it's just my AppleID password.
Tried setting up as account 'other' and enetering the settings from here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864 but still saying password not correct.
Driving me mad!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

Why can't Adobe verify my email address and blames my computer settings?

I'm logged into my Adobe account. I try to signup for a subscription to the Creative Cloud. A window opens stating, "Join the Creative Cloud; 1. First you need an Adobe ID." I enter my ID and password. Then I get a message that my email must be verified. I follOW instructions. I open my email and click the link. I get a message "This operations has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Well, this is my personal computer. I have no difficulty on any other site, subscribing, downloading, etc. I have no problem logging into my Adobe account.
This message gives no clue as to what Adobe does not like about my computer.
Does Adobe really want anyone to subscribe to their software?. GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets take something simple and make it really complex!!!

Thank you. This did allow me to get to Step 5. The site has been grinding away for about 20 minutes, trying to place the order. Can you help with this?
