Emails sent to me are Undeliverable A bank has attempted to send me several email alerts in the last week or so that they have marked as undeliverable in my online account. This means 3 attempts failed. They are not in the Junk folder. I have used the same email address with this bank for years. The email address the bank uses for their alerts is in my email provider's Contacts list. How do I go about looking into what the problem may be? Thank you.

Receiving emails that are not meant for me Yesterday I received an email from "service@intl.paypal.com" saying that I owed $1,299" to PayPal. The "To:" field in the email header was "member5@mitchellmart.store", which is NOT my email address!! Today I received two emails from other individuals apparently responding (harshly) to similar emails. Both emails again had "email@email.store" in the "To:" field. I have not had a PayPal account for many years and never attached to my current email address. How does "email@email.store" get forwarded to my email? How can I stop it? Thanks for any help you can provide. [Edited by Moderator]

Is this your Apple ID email address or another email address. If another email address, you can stop using the address, and get a new email address.

If it is your Apple ID email address, get another email address, and do a name change on your Apple ID. Note the restrictions in the article.

Apple ID Name Change.

What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
