    Dear Linda_2905,if even after changing the password the emails continue, post here again and we will try to take other measures.

    Thank you and have a great weekend!

    You can't stop that from happening. The From address in reality has nothing to do with who sent the message and any address at all can be used. The spammer is simply using your own address for the From address.

    Hi Luiz, it is the exact same email address. I am getting emails sent from "me" to "me" with the exact same email address. I am changing my email password. My microsoft account has a different password. Anything else I can do? Thanks

    Hello Linda_2905,my name is Luiz Cruz independent consultant and I'm here to help you.

    Is it the exact same email or an email similar to yours?

    If they are sending emails from the same address as your email, I suggest you try to reset your email password.

    Is it the same email as your Microsoft account?

    See you soon!
