I got a notification from Apple saying my email was in use by another computer. Very troubling.

Is this possible and is there a way to stop someone from opening your email?

iMac 27″ 5K

Hi there Beta216,


We'd like to learn more to see how we can help. Was this notification advising that someone else had access to your email or that your Apple ID was used to sign in on a device? If the notification was related to your Apple ID, we'd suggest reviewing the information in this support article to check where you're signed in and remove any devices you don't recognize: Check your Apple ID device list to find where you're signed in - Apple Support


If the notification was specifically related to your email, please provide some additional information about what it said exactly and how it appeared on your iMac. We ask because it's possible it may have been a phishing attempt. Learn more about those here: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Thanks!
