Exclamation Are these sent or received emails?

I’m not totally sure that I understand your problem. If it’s just lotsa spam from people kindly offering to improve certain physical characteristics of yours, or $30m from a frozen account in Nigeria, then, fine, we all get those. I agree with the above posts.

But if other people are receiving spam allegedly from your email address – that could be serious, as (just maybe) they have not only your email addy but your password as well. ***in that case change your password, like, NOW***. This means that you will need to adjust your mailbox settings and probably the password settings of your router/modem, otherwise you will have disconnected yourself, which ain’t the object of the exercise. But better safe, huh?

Besterluck,
Jim.
