    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

  3. Unable to send emails to my friends email address

    Hi Thomas,

    Thank you for responding.

    As per your suggestions I understand that your IP address might have blocked.

    Do let us know the type of the email address you are using (live.com/ outlook.com/ Hotmail.com)?

    Also, is this issue specific to the particular recipient?

    I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to log-in to the online account, try to send an email to the recipient and check.

    Step 2: Try to log-in to the web browser, perform step 1 and check.

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to contact the ESP/ ISP service provide and check if that helps.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue and required information for further assistance.
