Your email account has been hijacked. Change your password, and that should fix it.
Let me know.

I'm GOOD!
There are 'bots' that do it. They keep trying combinations until it's hit on. If you use difficult password sequences it wont happen. Use whacked stuff as in Aa1zt3xX, at least 8 characters in length. OR, you can get a password generator to make stuff up for you.

Franky, you never told us whether you use an online client, like Gmail or Hotmail, or a computer based client, like Outlook or Thunderbird. That will help us. : )

Hi DTM!...well I have a Yahoo! Mail account (Web Mail), but when i go to the "SENT" folder to see if something was sent, but nothing was sent....that's so weird.

Contact Yahoo support and tell them of the problem. I suspect in the end you will have to change your email address. : (

BTW, you might like Gmail. I have 3 accounts there, clean, simple, but very functional email, with chat/instant messaging, barely any ads at all. And you can use it with an email client like Thunderbird, Outlook, or Outlook Express.

Viruses have also been known to do this. Make sure you have an updated malware and virus protection and run full scans with both.
