Account being spoofed – using my address book from previous hack

04. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I recently began receiving bounced email alerts for email I didn't send. I immediately changed my password, but that has not stopped the bounced email notifications.

I believe that someone is using my old address book from a previous hack and spoofing my account. It's very easy to do that of course.

How can I stop this person from spoofing my email?

Here's a portion of the header from one of the spam firewalls who rejected it:

Email notifications

Do you think that MSN will ever build an email notification icon in the upper right side of the web browser?  It would be so convenient to know when a new email arrives in my inbox.  And perhaps a little number next to the icon to show how many emails are in the inbox?

Stopped receiving email notifications from Youtube. (And Don’t Know Why?)

I recently stopped getting email notifications from the channels I subscribed to on Youtube. I've checked all my subscriptions on Youtube, to make sure that I do have the box checked to receive email notifications when a video is posted. No changes have been made there. Everything has been working fine, since the change from Hotmail to Outlook, but for the last few weeks, I haven't been getting any emails from Youtube. 

Can no longer receive Youtube email notifications from the channels I subscribed to.

messages for moderation of yahoogroups are fltered as junk email

16. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,

Hi,

I'm a moderator of a yahoogroup and get email notifications for moderation of messages/members. All these email notifications go to junk mail. I've tried to add @yahoogroups.com as a safe sender, however this for some reason doesn't work with Outlook.

 

Does anyone have an idea for why is outlook not allowing me to add @yahoogroups.com as a safe sender? Or how can I avoid those moderation action emails to not go to junk? Note that the string before the '@' is always different for those emails.

Calendar email notifications without user name

16. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Hello
I've noticed that email notifications on changes in calendar do not contain email address of a user who added a new event in calendar.
The previous layout of email notification (the one before a switch to Outlook.com) contained this information, which was very helpful for us.

Is it possible to show user name/his email address?

I'm attaching two screens. First is the old layout, with a user email address and second is a new one, without information about user.




I will be very glad for help.

why am I no longer receiving email notifications when someone updates my shared calendar?

11. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
I created a little work group using the shared calendar in outlook.com. Whenerver someone schedule an event, everyone normally receives an email notification. Since September 6 2013,.  The notifications are no longer generated whenever changes are made .. I'm wondering if microsoft has changed something...  or having trouble.....   

How to stop getting email notifications of people’s birthdays?

19. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I get email notifications of people's birthdays, I permanently deactivated Facebook and opted out of receiving future emails from Facebook so it's not from Facebook. I only have Skype and men connected to my hotmail account so I don't know where they are coming from. More than 95% of the emails are of contacts I don't even have and it may as well be practically all of them because I only have 8 contacts on man that I ACTUALLY talk to.

Someone is trying to hack my account, and I have gotten a million SMS & email notifications about password resets.

I am inclined to believe the attempted hacker is Latin American because they tried to sign up on Facebook from this account, and my inbox was flooded with emails in Spanish. How do I make the notifications stop?
