Will apple send me an email asking me to confirm my Apple ID?

I received this email message following a purchase in the Apple Store:
Please confirm your apple ID.
Confirmation of your Apple ID gives you easy access to a variety of Apple services, including the iTunes Store, Apple Online Store, iChat, and more. We will not share your information with anyone else unless you authorize us to do so.
confirm Now
"Confirm Now" is a link. I have not clicked on it to see where it goes. If this is a phishing email, how did they know I was making purchases in the Apple Store?

It is indeed a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information.

HT4528 My phone will not send me the email to verify my iCloud account, how do I get this to happen?

I first got my iphone 5 in July and I set my phone but my iCloud account would not verify so I have tried to delete the account and do it again but it will not send me the email I need to verify my account. So please someone help me with this. Thanks

Hi Belinda80!
I have an article for you that can help you address this issue:
I cannot sign in to the iCloud Preferences pane on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
If you cannot sign in due to an alert stating "Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account":
Close and reopen the iCloud Preferences pane before logging in again.
If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button on the iCloud Preferences pane.

Thunderbird will not send or receive email in Windows 8.1 unless I re-install. The next time I open Thunderbird it is again broken.

Thunderbird will not send or receive email in Windows 8.1 unless I re-install it. The next time I open Thunderbird it is again broken. So, I have to repeat the un-install / re-install process. Currently I am using Version 31.0, but this was happening the the previous version as well.
Here are some of the messages in the error console:

That really sounds like anti virus scanning to me. Try rebooting your machine into safe mode with networking and see if it works correctly then.

Curve 9300 will not send or receive emails.

I have a curve 9360 that is out for repair. I have a 9300 as a loaner. my email account shows up, but I cannot send or receive emails. it wont let me access it via setup either!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

When my wife registered my phone number as her emergency rest number I then received an email asking me to confirm my Apple ID and Apple password.

When I was asked to confirm my ID and password by Apple it keeps saying ID and password do not match BUT if I go onto iTunes and log in using exactly the same ID and password they work perfectly???
I cannot register confirmation of acceptance as my wife's emergency backup email address

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Iphoto will not send photos by email?

Help - I have checked all the previous comments on the above issue and have tried the majority of them to no avail. I have checked another computer's details that now seems to work fine against my own. I have checked Mail preferences and iPhoto preferences ensuring that all the details were the same.
Have tried deleting iCloud from iPhoto and re-adding, and changing password to ensure it complies. Run disk utilities and checked that all is okay but still nothing seems to work. I did transfer from mobile me to iCloud but initially all seemed to work ok, have used the same system for years without any problems, then all of a sudden it stops working.
My outgoing server is smtp.me.com have tried adding mail to it but that does note work.
I use the book facility for holiday photos sending them off to Apple via iPhoto but fear unless I can get this working again may not be able to use this either.
Would appreciate it if anyone else has any ideas what I can try.

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

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.

Mail will not send from designated email account

I have several emails set up in Mail. Everything has been working great until a couple days ago. I haven't changed anything, made any updates, or added any new accounts.
Let's call the two accounts A and B. My main account is A. When I am sending an email, A is my default. It is designated as such. When I send an email from account A, I double check in each email. It shows it is coming from that default account. However, my recipient is receiving the email from account B. I only know this because when they reply, their response shows up in account B's inbox. The weird thing? My sent email folder shows as being sent from the correct account-- account A.
I have re-installed the accounts, double-checked everything. The problem still exists.
This is the weirdest issue. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks so much for the help.

Probably because it is using the server of account B to send from. When it goes through B's server, the server changes the sent address to that of B's email address. Either you have the wrong outgoing server set up for account A or there is a problem with it and it's switching to account B's server.
Open account preferences and highlight account A. Look at the SMTP server list and see which it shows. Select the correct one and check the box to use only that server for that account. If it fails in the future, you will get an alert that it failed and the option to choose another outgoing server.
Make sure all information for that server is correct and that it has the correct user name and password. Once you get that working, do the same for account B and make sure it has the correct outgoing server and check the box for that one also.

TS4002 iCloud will not send to yahoo email addresses, and is stating SMTP transmission failure has occurred. Can anyone help ?

Hi, iCloud will not let me send mail to some yahoo accounts, stating SMTP transmission failure has occurred. Can anyone help ?.

Try two things
1. try to send mail from icloud.com - by that we eliminate possible problem on your device.
2. Sending mail to the same yahoo address from other email - that way we can eliminate or pinpoint problem with icloud smtp server. ( for that one you will have to give it a few hours, cause another server may give you delayed failure.)

Submit button in form will not send info to email

I had a friend build a website in Dreamweaver CS5.5. Now that it is live, I can't get the "send" button on the form to send the information to my email.There is a sendmail.php set up. Any help would be much appreciated...Thank you.
The page is http://www.shieldscontracting.com/contact.html
The html is
    <form id="ContactForm" action="sendmail.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="margin-left:350px; margin-top:-20px;">
      <div class="rowi">
                      <p>Name:<br />
                                <input type="text" name="name" class="input required" />
                      </p>

                  <a href="thankyou.html" class="link" onclick="sendmail.php"><span>Send</span></a></div>
    </form>
The sendmail.php is
<?php
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
mail( "[email protected]", "Website Contact",
"Contact From Website
Name: $name
Email: $email
Phone: $phone
Message: $message", "From: $email" );
   header( "Location: thankyou.html" );
?>

First, the page is down, I just get a generic page. Second you may need to reach out to your web host. I see that you are using hosting from Intuit. Being that they have a proprietary setup, some custom scripts may not work.
Third, once that is confirmed, if you are making this script I would recommend changing the $_REQUEST text in the sendmail to $_POST. $_REQUEST means that your form can get spammed because they can pass the data via GET or POST. The $_POST is just the first step to ensure the data came from your form.
