Suddenly I'm getting spam emails everyday. Never happened b4..?
Luv your ID. Someone may have gotten your email address from another person's email account. It has happened to my aunt, and when it happened to her, it happened to everyone she sent emails to. I ended up having to start up a new account. I was getting the Nigerian bank letters and someone was trying to get my account information through phony Amazon emails and bank emails. If you get those, report them to Amazon by going to Amazon by typing www.Amazon.com in the search bar. Never click on a site offered inside an email requesting information or that alerts you to "someone trying to break into your account". It's a phony site. Once you report it to whatever site was forged, then you give them the power to search for the phony account and get it shut down. A lot of times, companies have programs that randomly create email addresses to send items to. I would actually report each letter to spam@uce.gov. They will keep coming, but at least you can report them to the government. Getting sexual content when you never visited a porn site is not uncommon. It likely was an email address generator that happened to randomly piece together your email address. If you've ever opened one of the emails (even by accident), a message gets back to the email generator that the ID is valid and then the spam really starts hitting the fan. You may be able to change your spam filter in Yahoo Mail to a stronger one. Go to Yahoo Mail, select "options" and then select "Spam Protection". Make sure it says SpamGuard is on. If you get too frustrated with all the junk that is coming your way, you can always change your email address to something else and then notify your address book members. I had to do that and now I don't get spam anymore. I also make sure I only open emails from people I know and report the emails of the people I don't by clicking the 'spam" button, like you've been doing (make sure the setting in the Spam Protection page I gave you instructions to above is set to block user address when you identify it as "spam".)
What happens if I sent an email to a no one used email address?
When you send email to an unused domain, the DNS (name) lookup will fail and the local mail agent will send you an error message by email.When you send mail to an unused account at a working domain, the remote mail agent will send you an error message by email. It may keep a copy of the message, but typically will not.If a domain has a "catch all" email address account, the message will be quietly ingested without error and delivered to the "catch all" mailbox. You will never receive an error.I have a domain that is similar in spelling to another one and I periodically get mail for users on that domain. Because I am a nice guy, I forward them along. However, if I chose to ignore them, the sender would have no idea why their mail was not delivered since they would get no error message.
What happens to emails sent to a terminated Yahoo email address? Does the sender get any notification?
The SMTP standard (think of this as the way that mail servers talk to each other) has an explicit error code for User Not Found and this is the 550 error. A correctly configured mail server will send this response code to the sending server (your email address) and it will ususually have the subject of Undelivered: and your subject line.This is your way of knowing that the account is no longer accepting emails and to find an alternate way of communicating with the person.To echo some of the other statements:Yes Yahoo knows that you sent a messageYes Yahoo logs the messageYes the sender gets a notification
What would happen if I send an email to a non existent account? And if I activation it after I send my email can I receive it？
There are two parts to an email address. The first is the domain. It’s behind the “@” symbol after the address. If the email address’ domain doesn’t exist your email server will go looking for it, not find it, send a query to a DNS server then up the line to discover if that one exists. If not you will get an email back informing you it doesn’t exist or can’t be found.The part in front of the “@” symbol is the recipient on that domain’s email server. If the domain exists but the recipient doesn’t then that email server will either send a reply stating no such recipient or it won’t reply at all, depending on how the administrator wants that handled. The default is to sent a no recipient message.If you create an email address on an existing domain right after having sent an email to the not yet existing address on that domain, the recipient doesn’t exist message is probably going to be in your inbox before you can finish creating said address.Because the search can take a bit longer it might be possible to create a domain and address in time to get a response but I really rather doubt it. Creating a domain requires from 6 to 24 hours if everything works right to propagate to the DNS master. Sometimes that search can take a while. While this is something you might see in a Mission Impossible episode it just isn’t going to happen.I hope I have answered this to your satisfaction.
If I delete my gmail account from one device, are my emails still on my other devices?
If you are deleting one account from one device, then yes, your emails will be on every device they were previously on.If you are actually deleting the services and deactivating the account from one device, you will not have the emails on your other devices.If you want to deactivate your entire email address, go to settings, delete products, and deactivate account.If you simply would like to delete your email address from that one device, you can go a number of routes to solve this problem.You can open “Settings” and “Accounts” in your mobile phone to view all accounts you’re logged into (from Google, SoundCloud, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.). You can sign out of Google right there if you’d like.If I was deleting a google account completely from a device, I would use a backup for the device and wipe the entire system. There are more bugs and malware than most can imagine so I take the time to get my device working properly.
I am not getting my emails about yahoo answers ?
Maybe it just happened that no one is sending you E-mails through Y! Answers. I tried to send you E-mail via Y! Answers link. If you received it, your problem is solved.
What happens with my email when domain expires?
Email is controlled by the MX record in DNS, which points to your mailserver. If your domain expires, the entry for your DNS server will be removed from the top-level DNS (.com or .net etc.). Since DNS entries are cached across the internet, it will take a few hours (depending on the lifetime configured for your entries) for the cached copies to disappear - basically, someone who has been sending you regular hourly mail will continue to be able to send mail for a while, but a new contact who did not have your records cached would not. If there is no A or MX record for your mail domain, mailservers will treat it as a permanent failure (550 Host unknown) and generate a nondelivery notice to the sender. If someone else registers the domain and configures an A or MX record, mailservers will try to send mail to those IP addresses. If there is no server configured, they will treat it as a temporary failure and keep trying for about 3 days on the offchance that a server will be plugged in and started. If there is a running server, mail will be delivered to the new owner - if the account exists - or rejected with “no such user”.
If I delete my email account, what will happen to all my accounts subscribed with it?
You mean, I presume, that you are suggesting deletion of an email account with your ISP, or with a free on-line provider such as Gmail or hotmail, etc. Your ISP will remain until you change to another ISP, and all accounts will be transferred to this new ISP. If you do not get a new ISP, you will no longer have access to the internet from your own computer. If you swap over to Gmail or similar, you will need to inform anyone who you would like to hear from.Overall it is a rather drastic decision to start closing channels of communication before opening others. If yo have a problem with your ISP you should contact them and discuss it. I have always found the ones we have in Australia to be very co-operative in solving difficulties.

Yahoo! Mail - Old emails have disappeared.?
A number of people are having this problem of entire blocks of e-mail vanishing Yahoo have no idea why. The number of people on here who lose important mail, photo's, document's et al is amazing. The first rule of computers is make a back up. The second is..another one. . Hard drives die, memory sticks die, mail goes missing, with 1 Tb drives at the price they are now it's not that expensive. Better safe than sorry.
