why do I keep getting e-mails addressed to other people?

if they're not to your exact address, but have a similar screenname as you, then it's most likely spam. i've gotten emails like that and it's always about "work at home and make millions!" etc. just add it to your spam. next time you see an email sender's address that looks funny, don't open it because it will tell the sender that your address is still active and you'll just get more and more!!

Why do they keep e-mailing you? Well you could go to each of them, go to settings, and click unsubscribe, or do not send me emails no more. But chances are, you will still be spammed.

I get those emails at least once a week.\n\nOne email came from a Yahoo! address.  I forwarded the email with the headers to abuse@yahoo.com, AND copied the sender.  In the body of the email I requested that the person be investigated for fraud.\n\nScammer actually sent me another email asking for my contact info, so we could discuss "business!"\n\nI guess they will keep going as long as people fall for them.

if you don't know the sender then don't open it, its probably spam, and some might infect your computer with virus. to avoid receiving them, avoid giving your email accounts on the internet. if you're posting on boards, try typing your email address like this\n\naccount name[at]blah.com\n\nalso try having 2 separate email accounts, one for your personal address and another for purposes like joining accounts in internet sites etc. most spams came from these

This is not that uncommon, someone used your address as a reply to address in a spam campaign. Irritating but not too much you can do about it.

Ask them not to send you emails like that. Tell them it bothers you. If they are really friends, they will understand, and respect your wishes. If that doesn't work, filter them into the junk/spam bin.

Everyone gets 'em, not just you.  Some ppl have better spam filters or blockers on their email account.  Make sure yours is set to high.  \n\nAnd please don't believe any of them.  I'm sick of getting chain letters from ppl stating they're gonna get a $500 gift card from Applebees just b/c they're sending the stupid email to 10 ppl.

You must be in bcc. There's no way to stop them. They just keep coming. They should normally get to your bulk folder; so once a day have a quick look at all the mails [I mean the sender and the subject] in the Bulk folder, look to see if one your friends' mail has accidentally been delivered to you Bulk folder, mark it as Not Spam. If you dont recognize any sender, just do a 'Select All' and delete.

Sometimes there is a link in the mail from advertisers affording you the opportunity to opt out of them sending you emails.  As for individuals, I know that Yahoo has this feature where you can block emails or maybe you can report this mail as spam.

You personally know 3,000 people that you need a separate account for to email them?  Maybe if you explain your request a little more... otherwise sounds suspiciously like spam to me.

This is because the mails are sent to someone by using your mail id. It dont mean that they are sending the mail from your mail box. But rather they are duping your mail id. And the return Path on this mails is your ID so all the mails which are not delivered are bouncing to your mail box. To ignore those you can do following\n1. Create a filter for the mails.\n     Options -->Filters\n     Add the mail ID or subject from where you are getting this mail to be filtered and just reditrect those mail to any folder. So you wont be bothered with this mailes in you inbox. \n2. Change your password ASAP

Your spam guard might be kicking them back.  Add the senders address to your contact and that should solve the problem with your clients.

A while back, a friend of mine (on AOL) wasn't recieving my emails because her account was set to only recieve emails from people in her address book.  Check in the account's settings, you can probably change it.

When you try to email somebody in some programs, it will run your default email client software to do this. So, it's normal. Or you can change it to other software.

When people sign up for things and don't want it emailed to them, they put in fake addresses. Do you have something random? Like sdifh@yahoo.com because I do that all the time.
