Email problem

[toucanplace]

Someone has kidnapped my email. I keep getting bounced emails that I did not send. What can I do. Cancel the account and start over?

Hello,

The first steps are to immediately change your password and also change the security question and answer pairs required for resetting your email password.

It's possible the email is not actually being sent from your email account, but if it is that should correct the problem.

Is it possible that you were phished? http://www.emailquestions.com/email...otect-your-email-accounts-phishing-scams.html

Hello,

It appears that you are using the wrong SMTP server and should be using Comcast's outgoing smtp servers not Yahoo.

Change the settings in your mail program to use :

outgoing smtp mail server : smtp.comcast.net
outgoing smtp mail server port : 587

Check the box for "my outgoing mail server requires authentication" and use your Comcast user/pass for the smtp authentication.
