Receiving mail to someone else

Hey there,


I seem to be receiving mail to an account which isn't mine. It's all junk mail, and I don't know how it got there or why it appears in my inbox. The "opt-out" buttons don't work.

How do I get rid of it and why is it coming to my mailbox?


Many thanks!

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Load remote content in messages

When remote content is retrieved from a server, information about your Mac can be revealed. You can deselect the option for increased security, but some messages may not display correctly.

Remote content isn’t displayed in messages that Mail marks as junk.
