I had the same problem a while ago. The fix seemed to be changing the password to the email account.

Enjoy

Ditto with email spamming people. As FBN suggests changing the password can work, you can also tell if security has been compromised by checking under 'options' and if you have an alternative email address inserted there or details you don't recognise you would need to report this. Another way to prevent this happening is to remove 'contacts' as ordinarily the spam will be sent to those in your contents folder. If your own email address is spamming you, don't open the email but mark it as spam. Finally, make sure when you use free wifi that the network is secure as this too can compromise your security :wink:

I get viagra spam ever since I was 20. Maybe in fifty years I'll finally answer one of their spams!
