Category: Email Issues

Another information technology problem occurring in the world order. This time I started receiving, no pun intended, a problem with my email server not receiving new email messages. Postfix mail stuck in queue is basically the problemo in a nut shell.

Administering your very own email server, can at times become a pain in the ass. However, the benefits versus using someone elses email service are productive enough for me to justify. I noticed all of the sudden I was not receiving any email.

I had not installed any updates to my email server in weeks. I logged into my control panel and I noticed some emails in the “deferred” que. Without going into too much technical jargon, the deferred que is for email messages that for whatever reason, are not successfully delivered to their destination.

Depending on your control panel, you may see these menu options listed below. Obviously, you will want to browse to your email section of your control panel.

• Refresh
• Process Queue
• Remove Everything
• Maildrop
• Incoming
• Hold
• Active
• Deferred

You can click on “Process Queue” which will send or receive any email messages on your server. I actually clicked on this button and I started receiving email messages again. However, the same problem occurred the next time I checked my email with my client software.

You can view email messages that are marked as “Defferred” by going into the deferred queue. Also, you can remove individual email messages or click on “Remove Everything”. Caveat emptor, you probably want to view your messages first before choosing this option.

Unless, you are being attacked with a huge amount of spam messages. By viewing each individual message you can obtain Internet Protocol address, from sender email address, etc. This can allow you to make sure that you do not accidentally remove any important email messages.

Actually, you can view the sender email address or organization, just by viewing the different queues, incoming, active, hold, deferred, etc. You can delete individual messages and groups of messages with “Remove selected” or something similar option. My Postfix mail stuck in queue problem did not disappear just by clicking on “Process Queue”.

That is a temporary work around. I do not want to have to fucking manually process the email queue each and everytime I want to check for email. However, I don’t like to waste much time checking email to begin with.

You can check the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf file. You can look for a properly formulated line(s) in this file. Here is an example entry you might see in your /etc/resolv.conf file on your email server:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain

xxx.xxx.xx.xxx myserver.governmentsucks.com 127.0.0.1 autoreply.myserver.governmentsucks.com

This last line in the example, should actually be all on one line. WordPress may have butchered it with their crappy Gutenberg editor. Anyways, make sure that there are spaces between the declarations.

For example this would be wrong:

xxx.xxx.xx.xxx myserver.governmentsucks.com127.0.0.1 autoreply.myserver.governmentsucks.com

There should be a space in between myserver.governmentsucks.com and 127.0.0.1. Those are separate declarations, that needs a space in between for the /etc/resolv.conf file to become processed correctly. Also, you can enter in the following command in a command line on your Linux email server.

ifconfig

You should see your email server network connection information, including the Internet Protocol address. Also, you should see the loopback device. Another place you can check for information that might help you troubleshoot your Postfix mail stuck in queue problem, is your email server log files.

Depending on what type of email server you have, you can look in the /var/log folder. You can view your “maillog” or something similar file. You want to look for any error messages or any details to help you fix your Postfix mail stuck in queue problem.

You can use these commands to view your maillog file on Linux.

tail -f maillog

vi maillog

Remember, there are alot of assholes and bitches on the Internet trying to send you spam, trying to circumvent your email server, trying to use it to send spam, etc. There maybe quite a few false positives, warnings, hacking attempts documented in this maillog file or similar log file. You want to look for any messages related to the Postfix mail queue not processing automatically.

These instructions were written for Postfix email server on Linux. However, you could possibly use these troubleshooting tips on other email servers with different Linux operating system distributions.

0:02:09.599,0:02:12.000
i’m saying

0:02:13.680,0:02:17.599
depending on your control panel i don’t

0:02:16.000,0:02:19.920
know what control panel you’re using

0:02:17.599,0:02:20.879
quite fucking frankly i don’t care you

0:02:19.920,0:02:23.040
know what i’m saying

0:02:20.879,0:02:24.319
a control panel whatever you use to

can do to quickly troubleshoot is try to

0:02:49.280,0:02:54.720
click on the process queue

0:02:51.280,0:02:57.519
that is a manual way that tells your

0:02:54.720,0:02:59.040
postfix email server to start fucking

0:02:57.519,0:03:01.360
getting off its lazy ass

0:03:04.560,0:03:09.840
like these americans

0:03:05.920,0:03:12.800
or there may be some overtime i got

0:03:09.840,0:03:14.159
cussed at again by two customers on this

0:03:12.800,0:03:16.000
third party website where i earn

0:03:14.159,0:03:17.840
supplemental income

0:03:16.000,0:03:19.120
again within the last week i’ve been

0:03:17.840,0:03:21.440
cussed at twice

0:03:19.120,0:03:21.440
all right

0:03:22.239,0:03:26.159
never ever enter information technology

0:03:25.040,0:03:28.959
as a help desk

0:03:26.159,0:03:29.760
or a desk site or don’t help people

0:03:28.959,0:03:31.920
learn how to

0:03:29.760,0:03:33.200
program learn how to code learn how to

0:03:31.920,0:03:34.959
become

0:03:33.200,0:03:38.400
self-employed and make a lot of money

0:03:34.959,0:03:38.400
programming you know i’m saying right

0:03:39.920,0:03:43.680
click on process q that was a temporary

0:03:43.200,0:03:46.080
fix

0:03:43.680,0:03:46.879
as soon as i clicked on the process q

0:03:46.080,0:03:49.840
button

0:03:46.879,0:03:51.280
which you can also this is on linux 2 so

0:03:49.840,0:03:56.080
you should know that that i

0:03:51.280,0:03:59.599
that my blog post has command line

0:03:56.080,0:04:00.720
that is for linux you can process the

0:03:59.599,0:04:03.040
queue manually

0:04:00.720,0:04:05.200
on the command line but if you log into

0:04:03.040,0:04:06.959
your control panel

0:04:05.200,0:04:09.040
it should also give you the option you

0:04:06.959,0:04:10.640
know i’m saying i immediately started

0:04:09.040,0:04:11.439
receiving email when i clicked on

0:04:10.640,0:04:15.280
process q

0:04:11.439,0:04:18.000
however the problem did not fix itself

0:04:15.280,0:04:20.000
after that because when i checked my

0:04:18.000,0:04:22.079
email again today

0:04:20.000,0:04:23.919
or or the next time i tried to check my

0:04:22.079,0:04:27.040
email no bueno

0:04:23.919,0:04:29.360
nothing i hate email

0:04:27.040,0:04:30.560
i don’t like wasting time reading email

0:04:29.360,0:04:33.040
i don’t like wasting time

0:04:30.560,0:04:34.320
sending email i don’t like wasting time

0:04:33.040,0:04:37.280
troubleshooting email

0:04:34.320,0:04:39.759
you know i’m saying that but however

0:04:37.280,0:04:41.840
that still is not to me a proper fix

0:04:39.759,0:04:42.639
it’s a temporary fix it’s a workaround

0:04:41.840,0:04:45.360
whatever

0:04:42.639,0:04:46.320
language you want to use whatever

0:04:45.360,0:04:48.639
colloquial

0:04:46.320,0:04:50.320
you know linguistics you want to

0:04:48.639,0:04:52.479
brainwash your

0:04:50.320,0:04:54.320
sheeple speaking of brainwashing are the

0:04:52.479,0:04:56.080
youtube technology shells

0:04:54.320,0:04:58.160
ever going to help people or are they

0:04:56.080,0:04:59.759
gonna get political oh my god new york

0:04:58.160,0:05:02.800
city is failing because the

0:04:59.759,0:05:05.199
governor is a democrat well no

0:05:02.800,0:05:06.880
no the left and the right are the same

0:05:05.199,0:05:09.919
politics is rigged they’re all

0:05:06.880,0:05:12.080
criminal corrupt crooks but the youtube

0:05:09.919,0:05:14.080
technology shills instead of helping

0:05:12.080,0:05:16.639
people with their information technology

0:05:14.080,0:05:18.560
problems

0:05:16.639,0:05:21.840
they make videos turning it into

0:05:18.560,0:05:25.120
politics all right

0:05:21.840,0:05:26.560
what else can you check if you really

0:05:25.120,0:05:28.639
need access to your email

0:05:26.560,0:05:30.639
go ahead and try to get the server to

0:05:28.639,0:05:33.039
process the email

0:05:30.639,0:05:34.639
now what you can also do is you could

0:05:33.039,0:05:39.199
refresh

0:05:34.639,0:05:42.560
and and just observe your email server

0:05:39.199,0:05:45.680
are there a lot of emails that are

0:05:42.560,0:05:46.560
in the incoming queue are they in the

0:05:45.680,0:05:48.800
hold queue

0:05:46.560,0:05:53.759
are they in the active queue are they in

0:05:48.800,0:05:55.840
the deferred queue

0:05:53.759,0:05:58.800
you can also remove everything now

0:05:55.840,0:05:58.800
caveat emptor

0:06:00.160,0:06:04.160
you will probably want to read the

0:06:02.639,0:06:06.960
emails first

0:06:04.160,0:06:09.120
you can go into the incoming the whole

0:06:06.960,0:06:11.759
the active and the deferred queues

0:06:09.120,0:06:13.840
and you can re look at and view each

0:06:11.759,0:06:14.560
individual email that’s on your email

0:06:13.840,0:06:17.039
server

0:06:14.560,0:06:19.039
and and look at it actually now command

0:06:17.039,0:06:20.800
line you can read everything

0:06:19.039,0:06:22.400
depending on the control panel it is a

0:06:20.800,0:06:24.800
little bit limited but you can

0:06:22.400,0:06:25.680
view potentially the internet protocol

0:06:24.800,0:06:29.120
address

0:06:25.680,0:06:32.080
the sender you know from

0:06:29.120,0:06:32.639
and possibly also the email message the

0:06:32.080,0:06:35.280
email

0:06:32.639,0:06:36.560
address that the message is being

0:06:35.280,0:06:39.919
processed

0:06:36.560,0:06:42.240
you know i’m saying so caveat emptor

0:06:39.919,0:06:43.199
go in the queues and look to see if

0:06:42.240,0:06:45.840
there are

0:06:43.199,0:06:47.039
emails that you need because once you

0:06:45.840,0:06:50.160
remove them

0:06:47.039,0:06:51.120
from the mail cue from either the

0:06:50.160,0:06:54.400
control panel

0:06:51.120,0:06:55.360
or when you administer post fix via the

0:06:54.400,0:06:58.080
command line

0:06:55.360,0:07:02.160
they’re gone basically gone forever you

0:06:58.080,0:07:04.000
know what i’m saying

0:07:02.160,0:07:05.199
but you may be receiving a lot of spam

0:07:04.000,0:07:06.160
it could be a lot of spam that is

0:07:05.199,0:07:08.160
causing a problem

0:07:06.160,0:07:10.880
it could be the assholes and the bitches

0:07:08.160,0:07:13.759
on the internet that are trying to

0:07:10.880,0:07:15.680
circumvent your email server security or

0:07:13.759,0:07:18.960
they’re trying to use your email

0:07:15.680,0:07:21.440
server so that they can send spam

0:07:18.960,0:07:24.000
there can be many different reasons why

0:07:21.440,0:07:26.800
you’re having this problem

0:07:24.000,0:07:27.280
okay let’s i have to keep an eye on the

0:07:26.800,0:07:28.880
time

0:07:27.280,0:07:31.360
okay seven minutes i have about eight

0:07:28.880,0:07:35.039
minutes

0:07:31.360,0:07:37.520
okay back to the

0:07:35.039,0:07:39.840
blog post all right what else can we go

0:07:37.520,0:07:39.840
into

0:07:41.120,0:07:44.639
okay be careful removing messages be

0:07:43.759,0:07:49.120
careful

0:07:44.639,0:07:52.479
if if you are flooded with a bunch of

0:07:49.120,0:07:55.520
spam then that is

0:07:52.479,0:07:58.639
where you may want to you know now

0:07:55.520,0:08:00.560
when you select on email messages

0:07:58.639,0:08:02.319
that have not been processed yet or that

0:08:00.560,0:08:02.960
they may be processed the the different

0:08:02.319,0:08:05.840
cues

0:08:02.960,0:08:07.280
the incoming hold active deferred you

0:08:05.840,0:08:09.680
can view each message

0:08:07.280,0:08:10.479
single at a time you can also remove

0:08:09.680,0:08:12.720
them

0:08:10.479,0:08:14.800
one at a time by clicking on remove

0:08:12.720,0:08:17.599

i did not tell you to delete email i

0:08:34.959,0:08:38.880
just told you

0:08:36.080,0:08:40.719
that maybe if you’re getting bombarded

0:08:38.880,0:08:42.719
with spam

0:08:40.719,0:08:44.720
that may be what is causing the problem

0:08:42.719,0:08:48.640
and you may want to remove the

0:08:44.720,0:08:48.640
the messages in the queue all right

0:08:49.519,0:08:53.839
you’re not going to sue me i every day

0:08:52.160,0:08:56.080
well not every day

0:08:53.839,0:08:58.160
every week every month i get yelled at i

0:08:56.080,0:08:59.839
get threatened with lawsuits i get

0:08:58.160,0:09:01.279
i have not received a death threat yet

0:08:59.839,0:09:03.440
on this third party website

0:09:01.279,0:09:05.040
but i want i want to expose this website

0:09:03.440,0:09:08.640
badly because there’s a lot of

0:09:05.040,0:09:09.519
crookedness at on this on this website i

0:09:08.640,0:09:12.240
earn income

0:09:09.519,0:09:13.920
it is disgusting how we technicians

0:09:12.240,0:09:16.320
continue to get abused

0:09:13.920,0:09:17.920
and nothing ever happens you know

0:09:16.320,0:09:20.240
nobody’s held accountable

0:09:17.920,0:09:21.200
now all they have to do is install a

0:09:20.240,0:09:24.000
filter

0:09:21.200,0:09:25.200
a word filter that would filter out

0:09:24.000,0:09:27.040
that’s overtime

0:09:25.200,0:09:28.399
let’s get back to this what else can you

0:09:27.040,0:09:34.080
troubleshoot

0:09:28.399,0:09:34.080
you can view my ad okay let’s see

0:09:35.040,0:09:39.519
you can process a cue that is that could

0:09:37.120,0:09:41.839
be temporary you could try that

0:09:39.519,0:09:43.600
you you could also empty the deferred

0:09:41.839,0:09:45.519
cue but again

0:09:43.600,0:09:47.519
look at the message just to make sure

0:09:45.519,0:09:50.560
that you’re not

0:09:47.519,0:09:52.880
you know removing any messages that are

0:09:50.560,0:09:54.640
legitimate okay because you’re actually

0:09:52.880,0:09:59.279
looking at the email messages

0:09:54.640,0:10:02.560
that are incoming and outgoing all right

0:09:59.279,0:10:05.600
if if processing it

0:10:02.560,0:10:07.680
manually by clicking on process q

0:10:05.600,0:10:08.880
does not fix your problem and it’s only

0:10:07.680,0:10:12.480
temporary then

0:10:08.880,0:10:13.120
move on in my blog post you want to look

0:10:12.480,0:10:16.079
at

0:10:13.120,0:10:17.360
your etsy resolve dot configuration file

0:10:16.079,0:10:19.040
let me give you a warning

0:10:17.360,0:10:20.959
i did not add some of this because i did

0:10:19.040,0:10:21.680
not want to make this blog post too

0:10:20.959,0:10:25.279
technical

0:10:21.680,0:10:25.279
i might have to go back and

0:10:26.240,0:10:32.880
edit it abridge it amend it because i

0:10:29.600,0:10:35.760
want to add some here’s a warning

0:10:32.880,0:10:36.720
whenever you fuck with configuration

0:10:35.760,0:10:40.640
files

0:10:36.720,0:10:42.640
on linux or really any operating system

0:10:40.640,0:10:44.160
you may want to get in the habit of

0:10:42.640,0:10:47.360
making a backup

0:10:44.160,0:10:48.240
on linux is really easy m v for move

0:10:47.360,0:10:51.279
space

0:10:48.240,0:10:53.519
the path the file and then

0:10:51.279,0:10:54.959
give the new path and then give the name

0:10:53.519,0:10:57.440
of the new file

0:10:54.959,0:10:58.000
and then you could add a dot back or a

0:10:57.440,0:11:01.360
dot

0:10:58.000,0:11:02.079
sav my point is you may want to get into

0:11:01.360,0:11:05.040
the habit of

0:11:02.079,0:11:06.800
always backing up any configuration

0:11:05.040,0:11:07.680
files that you fuck with in case you

0:11:06.800,0:11:10.000
fuck it up

0:11:07.680,0:11:11.519
it only takes one line and that email

0:11:10.000,0:11:13.440
server may not

0:11:11.519,0:11:15.440
work correctly the next time that it

0:11:13.440,0:11:17.519
needs to that postfix needs to

0:11:15.440,0:11:19.600
start up again it may not start up

0:11:17.519,0:11:22.240
because you fucked with the config file

0:11:19.600,0:11:23.920
and you fucked up one of the lines all

0:11:22.240,0:11:27.680
it takes is a misspelling

0:11:23.920,0:11:30.240
or i’m not making this up or the wrong

0:11:27.680,0:11:31.040
you know character a dot a comma instead

0:11:30.240,0:11:32.800
of a dot on

0:11:31.040,0:11:34.480
it that’s all it takes is one little

0:11:32.800,0:11:37.120
mistake all right

0:11:34.480,0:11:39.360
but you want to look at the slash etsy

0:11:37.120,0:11:41.519
slash resolve dot configuration file

0:11:39.360,0:11:42.800
i gave you an example of what it should

0:11:41.519,0:11:45.120
what it could look like

0:11:42.800,0:11:47.920
and what it really should look like it

0:11:45.120,0:11:50.480
may not look the same on your server

0:11:47.920,0:11:51.200
now you want to make sure that each

0:11:50.480,0:11:53.920
entry

0:11:51.200,0:11:55.600
has spaces where they are appropriate if

0:11:53.920,0:12:01.839
you notice this example

0:11:55.600,0:12:01.839
it’s the loopback it’s 127.0.0.1 space

0:12:02.040,0:12:06.639
localhost.localhost.localdomain

0:12:04.320,0:12:07.760
if there was a missing space between the

0:12:06.639,0:12:09.920
127

0:12:07.760,0:12:10.880
and the localhost and there was no space

0:12:09.920,0:12:13.760
there

0:12:10.880,0:12:14.480
that would fuck up the because it’s a

0:12:13.760,0:12:18.800
it’s not

0:12:14.480,0:12:22.160
acceptable that would be one line

0:12:18.800,0:12:25.519
that those are two separate entries okay

0:12:22.160,0:12:26.399
the next one colon colon one space

0:12:25.519,0:12:28.880
localhost

0:12:26.399,0:12:30.320
space localhost.localdomain those are

0:12:28.880,0:12:32.959
acceptable

0:12:30.320,0:12:34.079
those are acceptable variables and then

0:12:32.959,0:12:37.040
this one that i

0:12:34.079,0:12:38.320
you know government sucks.com yes it

0:12:37.040,0:12:41.920
does

0:12:38.320,0:12:44.240
and i gave you an example and i and

0:12:41.920,0:12:45.360
your ip address i’m not no i’m not going

0:12:44.240,0:12:47.279
to give you my fucking

0:12:45.360,0:12:50.079
emails or ip address fuck you if you

0:12:47.279,0:12:54.160
think i’m going to you know

0:12:50.079,0:12:55.680
no space myserver.governmentsucks.com or

0:12:54.160,0:12:59.040
whatever your domain is

0:12:55.680,0:13:00.880
it could be government or worship

0:12:59.040,0:13:02.639
government.com as you americans you

0:13:00.880,0:13:03.200
don’t you that’s all you do is worship

0:13:02.639,0:13:04.399
government

0:13:03.200,0:13:06.560
and then you’re like the youtube

0:13:04.399,0:13:07.040
technology shills that politicize

0:13:06.560,0:13:08.639
everything

0:13:07.040,0:13:10.720
you’re not helping people with their

0:13:08.639,0:13:11.519
tech problems you’re talking about

0:13:10.720,0:13:14.000
politics

0:13:11.519,0:13:15.200
and you’re blaming one bureaucrat versus

0:13:14.000,0:13:18.720
a different one

0:13:15.200,0:13:20.880
one has a giraffe logo

0:13:18.720,0:13:22.959
the other one has a tiger logo and you

0:13:20.880,0:13:23.519
know politics is so stupid it’s all

0:13:22.959,0:13:25.040
rigged

0:13:23.519,0:13:28.320
they’re the same the left and the right

0:13:25.040,0:13:28.320
are the same all right

0:13:29.519,0:13:33.600
and then space and then the local ip

0:13:32.480,0:13:37.200
address which is

0:13:33.600,0:13:40.639
the local loopback address 127.0.0.1

0:13:37.200,0:13:42.160
now wordpress they fucked up this should

0:13:40.639,0:13:44.399
all be on one line

0:13:42.160,0:13:45.680
they fucked it up and formatted it as

0:13:44.399,0:13:49.839
two lines no

0:13:45.680,0:13:50.880
in the actual etsyresolve.com file c1f

0:13:49.839,0:13:53.600
for configuration

0:13:50.880,0:13:56.160
that’s actually on one line and there is

0:13:53.600,0:13:59.040
a space after the 127 address

0:13:56.160,0:13:59.600
and then you have auto reply dot my

0:13:59.040,0:14:02.160
server

0:13:59.600,0:14:04.639
dot government sucks.com or whatever

0:14:02.160,0:14:06.880
your domain is or however your

0:14:04.639,0:14:08.000
etsy resolve dot configuration file my

0:14:06.880,0:14:12.480
point is

0:14:08.000,0:14:13.839
look for obvious errors

0:14:12.480,0:14:15.519
you know what i’m saying that could be

0:14:13.839,0:14:18.760
causing your problem

0:14:15.519,0:14:20.399
the mail server is looking in the etsy

0:14:18.760,0:14:22.320
resolve.configuration file

0:14:20.399,0:14:24.240
for an address well where do i send this

0:14:22.320,0:14:26.160
email where do you want me to send it

0:14:24.240,0:14:28.000
you got to tell me i’m not i’m

0:14:26.160,0:14:29.600
you know come on i don’t know what i’m

0:14:28.000,0:14:32.639
doing i’m dumb

0:14:29.600,0:14:35.120
no well you know what i’m saying

0:14:32.639,0:14:36.000
are you you know are you sending it to a

0:14:35.120,0:14:38.399
local

0:14:36.000,0:14:40.800
address so that your local mail server

0:14:38.399,0:14:41.680
processes whether it’s ascend or receive

0:14:40.800,0:14:45.120
or are you

0:14:41.680,0:14:48.560
are you in using external email server

0:14:45.120,0:14:50.320
to process your mail so the another file

0:14:48.560,0:14:53.680
that you can check

0:14:50.320,0:14:56.000
is actually well another command

0:14:53.680,0:14:57.600
it’s not technically a file but well

0:14:56.000,0:14:58.160
actually there is a file but i’m not

0:14:57.600,0:15:00.560
going to

0:14:58.160,0:15:02.880
go there because it getting technical

0:15:00.560,0:15:06.320
and i’m under time constraints

0:15:02.880,0:15:08.639
type in if config this is on linux

0:15:06.320,0:15:09.600
now when you enter in if config and i

0:15:08.639,0:15:12.920
gave you an example

0:15:09.600,0:15:14.880
of a wrong entry in your

0:15:12.920,0:15:19.120
etsyresolve.conf file

0:15:14.880,0:15:19.120
it’s it’s missing a space okay

0:15:19.279,0:15:25.120
the i f config it tells you about your

0:15:23.199,0:15:27.519
local network connection

0:15:25.120,0:15:28.639
or your your network connections on the

0:15:27.519,0:15:31.279
server

0:15:28.639,0:15:32.000
it should show you the loopback address

0:15:31.279,0:15:35.120
and it

0:15:32.000,0:15:38.959
should also tell you about your

0:15:35.120,0:15:41.600
wan or lan address

0:15:38.959,0:15:43.040
and it will include your server address

0:15:41.600,0:15:44.480
and i’m not going to ever tell you that

0:15:43.040,0:15:48.000
well duh

0:15:44.480,0:15:48.639
so just run the if config and look to

0:15:48.000,0:15:50.720
see

0:15:48.639,0:15:52.480
it should kind of match with what is in

0:15:50.720,0:15:53.680
your etsy resolve dot configuration

0:15:52.480,0:15:56.320
it shouldn’t it’s not going to be the

0:15:53.680,0:16:00.079
exact same but look for an example

0:15:56.320,0:16:03.839
if the server ip in the etsy config

0:16:00.079,0:16:05.279
file is different than the ip address

0:16:03.839,0:16:08.959
when you run

0:16:05.279,0:16:10.639
ifconfig that could be

0:16:08.959,0:16:12.800
the problem right there it could be a

0:16:10.639,0:16:14.800
configuration problem that could be

0:16:12.800,0:16:18.000
you know what i’m saying a clue all

0:16:14.800,0:16:21.680
right what is next

0:16:18.000,0:16:25.199
another place that you can look is the

0:16:21.680,0:16:29.360
log files now

0:16:25.199,0:16:30.639
i wrote this blog post for linux

0:16:29.360,0:16:32.639
however there are different

0:16:30.639,0:16:35.199
distributions the log

0:16:32.639,0:16:36.079
file for postfix may not be in this

0:16:35.199,0:16:38.480
exact

0:16:36.079,0:16:39.759
location but you can look look under the

0:16:38.480,0:16:43.199
slash var

0:16:39.759,0:16:46.959
slash log directory look for the mail

0:16:43.199,0:16:50.399
log and it’s spelled with two l’s

0:16:46.959,0:16:51.680
male log no spaces now i gave you two

0:16:50.399,0:16:55.360
quick commands to

0:16:51.680,0:16:58.240
view the log file tail minus f mail log

0:16:55.360,0:16:59.040
that will show you the last i think 10

0:16:58.240,0:17:01.040
lines

0:16:59.040,0:17:04.720
in that log file that could be a quick

0:17:01.040,0:17:07.199
one you know what i’m saying to view the

0:17:04.720,0:17:09.919
entire log file you would type in vi

0:17:07.199,0:17:11.919
space mail log now vi is an editor you

0:17:09.919,0:17:14.160
can use emacs or you could use another

0:17:11.919,0:17:15.919
editor

0:17:14.160,0:17:19.839
my point is that you want to use an

0:17:15.919,0:17:22.720
editor and these are command lines okay

0:17:19.839,0:17:24.959
vi and then mail log or emacs and then

0:17:22.720,0:17:26.079
mail log or however whatever editor you

0:17:24.959,0:17:28.960
use or however

0:17:26.079,0:17:30.799
you use your editor command line now

0:17:28.960,0:17:33.600
when it comes to log files

0:17:30.799,0:17:34.640
through a control panel you can view

0:17:33.600,0:17:36.880
them but

0:17:34.640,0:17:37.919
it’s like a pain in the ass but but that

0:17:36.880,0:17:40.640
is another option

0:17:37.919,0:17:42.000
your control panel whether it’s cpanel

0:17:40.640,0:17:44.240
or any other one

0:17:42.000,0:17:45.760
may have may have the ability to view

0:17:44.240,0:17:47.360
them the log file

0:17:45.760,0:17:49.840
within the control panel that’s another

0:17:47.360,0:17:52.160
way that might be easier if you’re not

0:17:49.840,0:17:54.160
familiar with command line but i highly

0:17:52.160,0:17:57.280
encourage you to learn command line

0:17:54.160,0:17:57.600
all right so look in the so my point is

0:17:57.280,0:18:01.120
that

0:17:57.600,0:18:05.200
look for the log file for

0:18:01.120,0:18:07.520
postfix which might be a

0:18:05.200,0:18:09.200
good chance that it’s slash var slash

0:18:07.520,0:18:11.600
log okay

0:18:09.200,0:18:12.240
and now let me give you some warnings

0:18:11.600,0:18:14.480
about the

0:18:12.240,0:18:15.919
mail log there’s there could be a lot of

0:18:14.480,0:18:18.799
false positives or

0:18:15.919,0:18:19.600
there’s a lot of logs that are dealing

0:18:18.799,0:18:21.760
with security

0:18:19.600,0:18:22.799
there’s a lot of assholes and bitches on

those could be kind of consider the

with regards to you’re trying to

0:20:39.919,0:20:42.400
hotel i have to

0:20:40.799,0:20:44.000

0:20:42.400,0:20:45.679
my own internet now

0:20:44.000,0:20:48.000
because they fucked us over we had

0:20:45.679,0:20:49.280

0:20:51.600,0:20:54.480

but it’s close to dial up it’s a it’s a

0:20:54.480,0:20:59.760
just a total atrocious joke

0:20:56.400,0:21:01.760
all right in overtime quickly within the

0:20:59.760,0:21:02.480
last two weeks i’ve been cussed at twice

0:21:01.760,0:21:04.320
on the story

0:21:02.480,0:21:06.240
website where i earned supplemental

0:21:04.320,0:21:12.080
income

0:21:06.240,0:21:12.080
going mentally ill one person told me

0:21:12.880,0:21:18.080
he said

0:21:16.240,0:21:19.840
what was he used the f word whenever

0:21:18.080,0:21:21.760
they start cussing i warned them

0:21:32.400,0:21:35.600
refuse to use logic

0:21:36.559,0:21:39.600
when people start cussing generally they

0:21:38.640,0:21:41.360

0:22:12.799,0:22:16.240
and they tried to open up a ticket and

then assign it to me

0:22:16.240,0:22:19.679
well i quickly closed that ticket

horrible or useless he said you’re

0:22:27.840,0:22:32.000
fucking useless

0:22:29.360,0:22:33.039
now on this website what i do is when i

and i have templates and i send the

0:23:03.919,0:23:06.799

I have finally gotten around to permanently ridding myself of a Microsoft Hotmail account. This blog post will describe how to delete your Hotmail account permanently. I logged into my Hotmail account and looked under the “My Microsoft Account” settings and did not see where to delete my Hotmail account permanently.

You edit your profile by clicking the avatar when logged into your Hotmail account in the upper right hand corner. Then select “My Profile”. Scroll down and then on the left hand side you will see a uniform resource locator hyperlink to “How to close my account“.

You have a 60 day grace period after you choose to delete your Hotmail account permanently. You can log back into your Hotmail account up to 60 days in case you change your mind. However, once the 60 day grace period expires, all of the following will be permanently deleted.

• Microsoft OneDrive Files
• Microsoft Xbox Live Data Including Gamer Tag
• Microsoft Skype Contacts and Identification
• Nuget.org Account
• Microsoft Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com, and Microsoft Network Email Accounts

All of the a fore mentioned services will become deleted. You will want to make sure you back up any files, contacts, email messages, calendar items, etc. that you want to keep. Also, you will want to verify and empty these accounts.

• Microsoft Account Money
• Skype Account Money
• Microsoft Store Money

If you have any subscriptions with your Microsoft Hotmail account then you will want to cancel those subscriptions. These subscriptions include:

• Microsoft Office 365
• Microsoft OneDrive
• Microsoft Xbox Live Gold
• Outlook.com Ad Free

You will want to log into your Microsoft services and subscriptions page in order to verify and cancel any remaining active subscriptions. You choose “Payment and billing”. Then you select “Cancel” for each subscription you want to terminate.

You can forward your email during the 60 day grace period. This allows you to access your Microsoft Hotmail account emails while you wait for the account to permanently become deleted. When your Microsoft Hotmail account is permanently deleted then this email forwarding service will cease and desist.

You will want to back up any data associated with your Microsoft Hotmail account. Also, any devices using your Microsoft Hotmail account may no longer function the same, depending on what you use your Microsoft Hotmail account for on that device. Finally, this is the day that you have been waiting for.

The day you can finally remove that ugly Microsoft albatross called a free Hotmail account. You will want to visit this close your account link. You will be asked to log into your Microsoft Hotmail account, if you are not already signed in.

You want to make certain you choose the correct Microsoft account from a list if multiple accounts are displayed. Choose “Next”. Continue on with any prompts. You will be asked to select a reason from the “Select a reason” drop down list.

Now choose “Mark account for closure”. Your dream has finally been achieved. These instructions were written for how to delete your Hotmail account permanently. However, you can use these instructions to close other Microsoft accounts.

with the breads and circuses you know
03:22
what i’m saying then really you don’t
03:24
need to take this all this seriously
03:26
however however you may want to take
03:28
this serious
03:30
if you use your microsoft hotmail
03:32
account for more than just
03:33
dumb shit emails from you know whatever
03:36

04:13
when you delete your microsoft hotmail
04:15
account it also
04:16
deletes your microsoft now now caveat
04:19
mtor before if
04:21
if you have these other services
04:23
attached
04:24
it will delete all of these services
04:27
that you may have
04:28
attached so that’s why if this is an
04:30
important email account to you or an
04:32
important microsoft hotmail account
04:34
go through my list and i also included a
04:37
direct link to microsoft’s instructions
04:40
where there are some more services that
04:42
that this affects
04:44
it can affect your microsoft onedrive
04:46
files it can affect your microsoft
04:49
xbox live data including gamertag it can
04:51
affect your microsoft skype contacts and
04:54
identification it kind of
04:56
i don’t even know what the fuck that is
04:57
on nuget.org account never heard of it
05:02
i’m removing my microsoft hotmail
05:04
account finally
05:05
after deck well i don’t know about
05:08
decades plural but anyways
05:10
it’s because i am sick and tired of all
05:12
these accounts that i’ve accumulated
05:14
over the years
05:14
and i’m trying to remove my also remove
05:17
my internet footprint
05:18
and i just don’t want all this these
05:20
accounts i don’t
05:22
know what i’m saying all right i already
05:24
successfully removed my yahoo account
05:26
and it’s gone now for well allegedly i
05:29
don’t believe yahoo either
05:30
but anyways i don’t want to digress
05:32
about that
05:34
it will also remove your microsoft
05:36
hotmail
05:37
your live account your outlook.com
05:39
account
05:40
and your microsoft network email
05:42
accounts they are
05:43
all attached to a microsoft account
05:47
even if it’s for hotmail but if you’re
05:49
just only using
05:50
hotmail for random emails you don’t
05:53
really need to worry about the rest of
05:55
this however
05:57
if you have signed up to any of those
05:59
aforementioned services it will affect
06:01
them and it will remove them
06:03
all right let’s go scroll down all of
06:06
the all of those services
06:07
will be will be deleted let’s say you
06:10
had a hotmail account that you used for
06:11
skype
06:12
and you wanted to permanently delete
06:14
your hotmail account but you forgot that
06:15
you used it for skype
06:17
well after the 60 days it’s gone that
06:19
skype account is gone
06:23
so what you want to do is you want to
06:25
back up any files
06:27
like maybe with onedrive also any
06:29
contacts
06:30
in i think hotmail does have a free
06:33
calendar
06:34
yeah let’s have a free contacts
06:37
area any email messages that are
06:41
important you want to back them up
06:43
you know you can forward them or
06:44
whatever you could print them if you
06:46
wanted to but you know
06:49
why but does anybody use printers
06:52
anymore
06:55
i’ve been without a printer for almost
06:57
two years now well actually about a year
06:58
and a half but whatever
07:00
calendar items also
07:05
and then now you want to verify these
07:07
accounts as well
07:09
your microsoft account money what that
07:11
means is that
07:12
do you have any money still remaining in
07:15
a balance
07:16
attributed to your microsoft hotmail
07:19
microsoft account
07:21
if you delete your microsoft hotmail
07:23
account you’ll lose that money
07:25
might well well of course microsoft
07:28
doesn’t
07:29
fuck about anybody they don’t give a
07:30
rat’s ass except for their
07:32
bottom line the board of directors and
07:34
their you know
07:36
their cocaine habits or you know little
07:39
girl habits or little boy habits or
07:41
whatever
07:41
you know the elite get the elite
07:47
understand your skype account if you
07:50
have any
07:51
skype credits they will disappear
07:54
and you won’t have access to them
07:57
one recommendation
08:01
you know what i’m saying i don’t think i
08:03
could be wrong but i don’t think you can
08:04
get a refund i don’t think you can
08:05
contact
08:06
microsoft and well i got 20 bucks i want
08:09
a
08:11
it refund to my payment source i don’t
08:13
think you can
08:14
you either use it or lose it basically
08:18
and i could now i don’t want to go there
08:20
i don’t want to go there
08:22
all right microsoft store money
08:26
that as well if you’re using your
08:28
microsoft hotmail account for purchases
08:30
on the microsoft store you might have
08:31
a positive balance use it or lose it
08:35
basically
08:38
also subscriptions if you have any
08:40
subscriptions
08:41
attached to your microsoft hotmail
08:43
account
08:44
they will well it could cause reals
08:48
further problems they may be on
08:51
automatic renewal
08:52
and oops you’ve forgotten oh fuck i
08:55
can’t get
08:56
see i’m i’m a real world computer
08:58
technician
08:59
every day not all day i don’t i work
09:01
every day actually i’ve only missed one
09:03
day since
09:04
march of 2018 believe it or not and i
09:07
never get sick
09:08
and i’m not worried about this dumb shit
09:10
virus or this alleged pandemic you know
09:12
what i’m saying
09:19
all you know constant problem this is a
09:22
major
09:24
i would say mistake or a major problem
09:26
that i see
09:27
people don’t take their account
09:29
seriously they forget about them they
09:30
forget what was attached they forget
09:32
what money they spent
09:33
they forget what payment options they
09:36
were using they forgot
09:37
what credit card that they used or they
09:39
forgot to it just goes on and on and on
09:42
i could probably literally make a living
09:44
off of one niche email
09:46
however i would probably be seen under a
09:50
viaduct just drooling because not
09:52
i’m already mentally ill because i’m
09:54
fucking helping you clowns
09:56
with your goddamn information technology
10:00
fiascos and then what do i get i get
10:02
yelled at i get threatened i get cussed
10:04
at
10:05
i get threatened with lawsuits and i’m
10:08
not making any of those up because i’ve
10:10
talked about i’ve i’ve received all of
10:12
that crap
10:13
from you motherfuckers in real life
10:16
by me so you know being in information
10:19
technology
10:23
your subscriptions if you have any
10:25
subscriptions
10:27
you want to verify you want to cancel
10:29
them and also you want to double check
10:31
if there’s automatic renewal
10:33
with them you know what i’m saying those
10:35
subscriptions will then
10:37
they may eventually well if it’s on
10:39
automatic renewal
10:42
it could be 10 years from now and you’re
10:43
wondering well well goddammit i earned
10:46
every goddamn month i received a fifty
10:48
dollar
10:52
post on my credit card from your goddamn
10:54
shitty company aaron
10:56
i’m never doing business with in-net
10:58
computers again god damn it aaron
11:00
see the motherfucker forgot that you
11:02
know he had a hotmail account with an
11:04
automatic renewal subscription
11:06
that renewed every month and as long as
11:08
that credit or debit card was still
11:10
you know functioning and
11:14
all right well i’ve actually obviously
11:16
well not necessarily obviously
11:18
well actually most credit cards and
11:20
debit cards now only what lasts for
11:22
maybe five years at the most
11:23
some of them what two or three years
11:25
anyways anyways i digress
11:28
now these subscriptions could include
11:29
microsoft office 365 microsoft onedrive
11:32
microsoft xbox live gold outlook.com ad
11:35
free
11:36
so i included a link for you that will
11:39
take you to my
11:39
your microsoft services and
11:41
subscriptions page
11:44
on the backend so to speak
11:48
you may want to log into your hotmail
11:50
account beforehand
11:51
or the direct link will take you and it
11:53
will ask you to log in
11:54
and then once you you know
11:57
successfully give the website your
12:01
credentials
12:02
you’ll get access and then what you want
12:05
to do
12:06
on that page is go to any remaining
12:08
active subscriptions
12:09
click on them or go to them and then
12:11
you’re going to choose
12:12
payment and billing then you’re going to
12:15
select cancel
12:16
for each subscription that you want to
12:18
terminate so i think i don’t know i just
12:20
don’t
12:21
i do not know believe it or not i’ve
12:23
never
12:24
used a my my old hotmail account
12:28
for purchases i’ve never i i don’t think
12:31
ever
12:32
nothing for scott i never bought skype
12:34
credits i
12:35
never fucking signed up for office 365.
12:38
oh that that’s another one i think
12:39
that’s on my list i’ll try to remember
12:41
all right
12:42
blah blah blah blah blah blah so i just
12:44
do not know i don’t know if you can
12:45
let’s say you had five different
12:46
subscriptions
12:48
attached to your microsoft hotmail
12:49
account can you just select them all at
12:51
once and cancel them all at once i do
12:53
not know that
12:54
so just you know you just become aware
12:57
of that and just make sure that you you
12:58
might have to
12:59
cancel each one individually all right
13:03
and then you would fall you would that
13:05
you want to terminate all right
13:08
now so now that you’re done with your
13:11
subscriptions you dealt with that
13:12
nightmare you know what i’m saying
13:16
you have the 60-day grace period you can
13:20
forward your emails and i’m not going to
13:22
go into this that’s why you might want
13:24
to
13:24
you know visit my blog post because i
13:27
included a link
13:28
directly to the official microsoft
13:31
how to you know close your hotmail
13:34
account permanently page
13:35
that has some other items that you might
13:38
want to go over i just decide not to
13:40
include it you know what i’m saying
13:41
one was about developer how many fucking
13:43
developers are in my audience oh i’m not
13:45
being condescending at all no i’m just
13:47
saying
13:48
i’m just saying you know what i’m saying
13:52
so it might be productive for you to go
13:54
to that link and go through
13:56
read over everything if if your hotmail
13:58
account is very you know
14:00
important to you and you have a lot of
14:01
subscriptions and blah blah blah
14:03
all right so you have a cis 60 day grace
14:05
period you can
14:06
also for 60 days forward your emails
14:11
to a different email address like gmail
14:14
i mean
14:14
oh that i’m making a future video i
14:16
already made a video showing you how to
14:17
permanently delete your yahoo email
14:19
account
14:20
i’m going to make a video showing you
14:21
how to permanently delete your gmail
14:23
account
14:24
you know what i’m saying so
14:27
now you do not want to log back into
14:29
your hotmail account
14:30
because that will start the clock again
14:33
so
14:34
once you go through this process do not
14:37
log in again with your hotmail account
14:40
clear your cash your cookies whatever
14:42
you have to do
14:44
you can set you can for your emails to a
14:46
different address
14:48
if you wanted to all right
14:52
and then after the 60 day grace period
14:54
those emails will no longer for but at
14:57
least for
14:58
what two months or whatever you would
15:00
get access to your emails and i think
15:02
you can even respond to them
15:04
you know what i’m saying you can receive
15:05
them you can read them you can reply to
15:07
them
15:08
and they’ll you know blah blah they’ll
15:09
bounce back and forth or whatever
15:11
you know what i’m saying what else
15:15
however but when your hotmail account
15:17
finally gets permanently deleted and you
15:19
can no longer
15:19
log in at all and you can’t reverse it
15:23
those emails will no longer be forwarded
15:25
all right
15:28
you will obviously want to back up any
15:31
important data
15:32
contacts calendar items email
15:35
ad addresses and then obvi you know
15:38
email messages so you want to become
15:41
aware of that
15:43
now this also may be important this is
15:45
where i hate
15:47
a lot of these websites now
15:50
i don’t want to digress if you have any
15:53
devices like
15:54
a windows phone or a tablet
15:57
or maybe even a windows computer that
15:59
you use to log
16:00
in i’m giving you a warning right now
16:04
be always become aware nowadays that you
16:07
got these crooked criminal corrupt
16:10
criminal corporations called microsoft
16:12
google
16:13
you know facebook and it goes on and on
16:15
and on an endless parade even youtube
16:17
yeah throwing youtube
16:19
you know susan wojcicki should have been
16:20
fired long ago
16:23
youtube there are a bunch of clowns
16:24
they’re liars and they censor people
16:26
anyways
16:32
on a on a windows computer you can use
16:35
your microsoft
16:36
account that may have been your hotmail
16:38
account to login
16:40
that is the dumbest fucking shit ever
16:42
that to me is the dumbest idea
16:44
in information technology in the last 20
16:47
years
16:48
it’s similar to the goo you know like on
16:50
a google and i don’t want to digress
16:53
there’s a concept called apple lockout
16:56
there’s a concept called
16:57
google lockout there’s a concept called
17:00
microsoft locked out
17:01
because you fucking used your microsoft
17:03
hotmail account to
17:05
log into your fucking windows 10
17:06
computer well you just fucking went and
17:10
you deleted your hotmail account and
17:12
it’s beyond the 60-day grace period
17:14
well now how the fuck are you gonna log
17:16
into that your windows computer get it
17:18
that to me is all by design
17:20
did you know that you can create a local
17:22
account on microsoft windows 10 i should
17:24
make that video
17:25
i don’t think i ever did but i should so
17:28
be aware that also be aware on a windows
17:30
phone
17:30
and also be aware on a tablet and also
17:32
be aware that your hotmail account
17:34
could be attached to like certain
17:36
applications on
17:38
even an android or on a tablet
17:42
you know or even on windows 10 that if
17:46
once you delete your hotmail account
17:49
those applications and services
17:52
will probably most likely not function
17:54
correctly so just become you might want
17:56
to become aware that
17:58
what else well we’re almost done
18:05
all right
18:09
all right here we go finally finally you
18:11
finally got around to removing that ugly
18:14
ugly halitosis albatross called
18:17
microsoft i mean
18:18
called microsoft free hotmail account
18:22
that just causes all these problems and
18:24
and they seduce you
18:26
and because it’s free well here we go
18:29
here’s the link
18:30
so it’s towards the bottom click on the
18:33
closure account link
18:35
click on that link it will take you to
18:38
where you can close your microsoft
18:40
hotmail account forever
18:43
you know what i’m saying and
18:46
you may want to sign into your hotmail
18:47
account before that if not it will
18:49
prompt you
18:49
all right so now this is where i’m going
18:51
to perform this live but i am going to
18:53
tread carefully
18:54
you know why because i take my internet
18:57
footprint seriously
18:58
and i know there’s a lot of
18:59
motherfucking scumbag bitches and
19:01
assholes on youtube
19:02
that not only do they go and swat other
19:05
youtube information technology content
19:08
creators
19:09
and even that individual i’m not going
19:10
to name it personally
19:12
i don’t really necessarily i’m not a big
19:14
fan of his however that’s
19:16
still disgusting to ever
19:19
swat somebody because why and that’s not
19:24
i mean there’s
19:25
there’s all kinds of phishing going on
19:27
there’s all kinds of circumvention of
19:28
accounts going on
19:29
there’s all kinds of just
19:34
shenanigans going on on youtube youtube
19:37
subscribers are some of the worst
19:40
clients you you don’t want them as
19:41
clients man
19:43
you know they’ll troll you they’ll stock
19:46
you oh they’ll swatch you
19:48
you know swatting all right so
19:52
let me tread carefully here and i’m
19:54
going to transition away from my
19:56
blog post and so let’s see let me make
19:59
sure
20:00
it will now when i don’t think they
20:02
included it in the instructions
20:04
however when i click click on close your
20:07
account which i’m doing right now
20:08
it takes me to this other page
20:12
it if you’re not signed in it’ll prompt
20:14
so i’m going to sign in
20:16
now it’s asking me to verify my identity
20:19
the reason why
20:20
i’m not censoring the reason why i don’t
20:21
want you to see is because i don’t want
20:23
you to know
20:24
my credentials believe it or not you
20:26
want to study
20:28
i you can’t even there is no free speech
20:31
on youtube you can’t even say the h word
20:34
circumvention in in computing there’s a
20:36
concept called
20:37
social engineering social engineering
20:42
and then the h word that
20:46
you can all you need is one piece of
20:48
information from somebody and that could
20:51
be their username
20:52
that could all that could be is their
20:54
hotmail account their address
20:56
john doe hotmail.com or
21:00
government sucks government sucks yes it
21:03
does
21:04
government sucks at yahoo excuse me at
21:07
hotmail.com
21:09
well you know you might possibly know
21:10
one of their user ids that they’re using
21:12
on another website to log in
21:14
that is what is called social
21:16
engineering all right
21:18
so that is why i’m not going to screen
21:20
capture
21:22
everything especially if it has any any
21:24
i i
21:25
identifiable information even an avatar
21:29
well i might i you know if you show
21:31
somebody your avatar well they might
21:34
it might be familiar and they’ll say oh
21:36
oh oh well
21:38
and then they’ll see it on a different
21:40
website anyways all it takes is
21:42
one piece of information believe it or
21:43
not so it’s asking me to verify
21:46
my identity and it’s giving me three
21:49
options
21:50
i can either receive an email at my
21:52
email address
21:54
my recovery email address or it asks
21:58
to a code they’ll send me a code
22:01
or it also says i don’t have any of
22:03
those i’m going to choose email to try
22:05
to to make this quick
22:06
it says we emailed a code to blank which
22:09
was my email address
22:11
please enter the code to sign in all
22:13
right so now
22:14
this is all live on the live stream so
22:16
we’ll see what happens
22:18
you know what i’m saying now i have to
22:19
check my email now they don’t they don’t
22:21
mention this at all i could be wrong but
22:24
no they didn’t mention any this at all
22:27
where in the instructions they didn’t
22:30
say well you gotta
22:31
well why the fuck do i need to verify my
22:33
identity again well
22:34
you know what i think maybe because
22:37
somebody could try to close your
22:39
microsoft hotmail account
22:41
for you because they’re assholes or
22:45
their bitches
22:46
that’s what i’m thinking but they could
22:49
have at least
22:50
warned you or they could have said
22:51
something in their instruction bit you
22:53
know whatever
22:54
all right so quickly let me check my
22:56
email
23:02
there’s a lot of identity theft on the
23:04
internet now there’s all kinds of
23:06
shenanigans going on
23:08
all right i did receive the security
23:10
code so
23:11
they emailed me a security code and it’s
23:14
you know yeah like i’m going to tell you
23:16
my security code
23:19
all right it is
23:23
seven numbers yeah no
23:26
yeah seven numbers so i’m just gonna
23:30
you know enter it in
23:33
and then we’ll see where that takes me
23:35
where where do you want to go today
23:37
aaron
23:38
how about a blue screen aaron get it
23:40
microsoft’s old stupid dumb shit
23:43
marketing
23:44
garbage
23:47
okay so now it does have a checkbox
23:49
saying don’t ask me again on this device
23:52
i’m i’m not sure why that is available
23:56
or accessible and quite frankly i don’t
23:57
really know what that means
23:59
don’t ask me again on this device to
24:02
to verify i i don’t know you know what i
24:05
don’t fucking care because
24:07
in about a few seconds this it’s done
24:12
now there’s a blue verify button i’m
24:14
going to click on that
24:16
and it takes me to this page now i can’t
24:19
screen capture this because number one
24:20
it has my avatar
24:22
number two it has my email address make
24:25
sure that blank which was my email
24:27
address is ready to close
24:28
it gives you a warning before you mark
24:31
this account
24:32
for closure you’ll want to we already
24:34
went over that
24:35
but well i guess we could really quickly
24:37
go over it again to just hammer it home
24:39
cancel any subscriptions all right
24:43
cancel any business or organizational
24:45
services delete any
24:46
azure active directories what else save
24:49
your health records
24:51
well since when has since when as bill
24:55
and melinda gates cared about health
24:58
you may want to study bill and melinda
25:00
gates and did you know that
25:02
bill gates’s father helped
25:06
create planned parenthood all right
25:11
i’m not a leftist either all right use
25:14
your remaining account balances we went
25:16
over that
25:16
user remaining skype credits we went
25:18
over that set up automatic email replies
25:21
you don’t have to do that but you can
25:23
turn off reset protection i don’t know
25:25
what the fuck that is
25:27
oh oh oh this is very important
25:31
you’ll need to turn off reset protection
25:34
for any windows devices that have turned
25:36
it on
25:37
if you don’t turn off reset protection
25:39
your device could become
25:40
unusable after your account is closed
25:42
that to me is also known as microsoft
25:45
locked
25:45
also known as google locked also known
25:47
as apple locked also known as facebook
25:50
locked
25:50
also known as you know pretty soon to be
25:52
your internet service provider
25:55
they’ll lock you out of your isp account
25:57
and you can’t surf the internet you
25:58
can’t make any money
26:01
i mean the this bullshit this
26:05
paranoia about security is just driving
26:07
me insane that’s another reason why
26:09
i am cleaning up my internet footprint
26:11
because
26:13
someday they’ll require two factor
26:15
authentication you won’t be able to use
26:17
any website unless you you know you use
26:19
two factor
26:20
and then who knows in 20 years who knows
26:22
what else technology
26:24
will create you you’ll you’ll it’ll be a
26:26
five step
26:27
you’ll have to type in the username the
26:29
password
26:31
you’ll have to two factor authentication
26:33
code then you’ll have to swipe your
26:35
finger
26:36
biometrics then you’ll have to you know
26:38
answer your
26:39
your secret question then then you’ll
26:41
have to include your zip code then
26:42
you’ll have to include your
26:44
social security number then you’ll have
26:45
to upload your photo id
26:47
then you’ll have to you know you know it
26:49
just goes on and on and on then you’ll
26:51
have to get you know
26:53
the permission from the website owner
26:55
and then finally
26:56
finally you can order some potato chips
26:59
from amazon
27:03
all right okay i’m done with that
27:07
now there was there’s a next button so

30:00
renewal and and i think

your devices using reset protection

36:05
those instructions in my in my blog post

you’ll want to

system huh
36:23
oh another warning if you have multiple
36:25
microsoft
36:26
accounts make sure you choose the right
36:28
one because if
36:29
if you got cookies running you may be
36:31
logged into another microsoft account
36:33
and when you go to close your microsoft
36:34
hotmail account
36:35
you accidentally chose your you know
36:38
skype account or outlook account or
36:41
you know let’s see what else office 365
36:44
account
36:46
xbox account social security account i
36:52

36:57
now choose mark account for closure
36:59
you’re
36:59
now yes you’re finally finally i’ve been
37:02
waiting for this
37:03
for multiple years like when did i open
37:06
up my
37:07
fucking goddamn hotmail account for free
37:10
it’s pushing two decades man
37:14
what a fuck if i knew now what i knew
37:16
then i would have
37:17
never opened up a goddamn free hotmail
37:21
account all right well i’m about to
37:24
destroy this albatross forever
37:29
here we go so i have to
37:32
choose from a fucking drop down list
37:43
okay let’s select a reason here’s are
37:46
the reasons they’re given to you i’m
37:48
combining microsoft accounts
37:50
oh yes there could be you may have
37:52
multiple
37:54
microsoft accounts and you just want to
37:56
clean up that clutter
37:58
that might be why now you can’t
38:00
technically
38:01
i don’t know you can’t technically
38:02
combine i don’t know why people are
38:05
thinking
38:05
i see that question quite prevalent can
38:07
i combine my multiple facebook accounts
38:10
can i combine my multiple gmail accounts
38:13
can i combine my multiple yahoo accounts
38:15
can i combine my multiple microsoft
38:18
hotmail account
38:19
it’s like why the fuck would you ever
38:21
why would that ever enter your brain
38:23
no you fucking can’t combine your
38:26
account
38:26
at i’m a computer technician and i do
38:31
maintain my own email services and can
38:33
you imagine the nightmare
38:35
you’d have to write this long code where
38:38
you would enter in one account and
38:40
another account
38:41
and then they you have to merge them and
38:43
then you’d have to sit back and wait for
38:44
all the data
38:45
and you’d have to pray that there’s no
38:47
mistakes well what the fuck
38:49
and why would you want to do it but i
38:51
guess people open up multiple accounts
38:54
and then they want to combine them and
38:55
it’s like
38:59
all right i use different microsoft
39:02
account and don’t need this one
39:04

43:42
there’s the done button i’m clicking on
43:44
done
43:47
oh i can show you this this is the only
43:50
portion of me demonstrating on a live
43:53
stream
43:55
that i feel comfortable with here it is
43:58
after i clicked on done and i got all
43:59
those warnings and the fucking
44:01
laundry list and the you know oh i can
44:05

44:12
demonstration video that that’s what
44:14
will happen
44:15
and also i wrote a
44:19
blog post that you can click on in the
44:21
description box below down below
44:23
in my youtube video description that has
44:25
full instructions
44:26
and i provided three different links
44:29
i’ll give you a what i consider a gold
44:31
tip
44:32
go ahead and read microsoft’s official
44:35
how to close
44:36
account that i included in my blog post
44:38
read over if
44:39
if your hotmail account is very
44:41
important to you and it and you got all
44:43
these other services
44:44
because actually there’s some additional
44:46
services like azure
44:48
and like one or two others that i didn’t
44:50
cover that
44:51
you know one was for developers and then
44:54
i don’t remember what the other ones
44:55
just you might want to read through it
44:56
in its entirety because
44:59
you you know this could cause you
45:02
further problems and that’s not my
45:04
reason why i’m making this video i’m a
45:06
real world computer technician
45:08
you know what i’m saying these are
45:11
actually
45:12
the same instructions that i give my own
45:14
customers
45:16
now i don’t submit i don’t give them the
45:18
video link
45:20
and then i don’t fucking have a lengthy
45:22
blog post
45:23
but i i condense it for them
45:27
and even for how to close a
45:30
hotmail account yeah let me think yeah
45:33
let me think have i had any requests for
45:37
that
45:38
i had a request when somebody
45:42
deleted their hotmail account and they
45:44
wanted to know if they could reopen it
45:46
and i told them
45:47
the 60-day period but do i have
45:50
i might have had one or two customers
45:53
that requested how to delete their
45:55
yeah because they they just don’t know
45:57
they wouldn’t know where to look and
45:59
it’s hidden it’s like well
46:00
you got to click here do i click here is
46:02

46:04

46:12
be a giant button at the top
46:15

scumbags
49:23
see a lot of these scumbags on youtube
49:25
are exactly like them
49:28
and they’re the ones that swatted
49:29
another
49:31
youtube content creator in my niche
49:33
information technology
49:34
look it up you don’t know what swatting
49:37
is
49:38
that individual i’m not a big fan of his
49:41
but
49:42
he all he does is help people he helps
49:45
people
49:47
with their computer problems he helps
49:49
people build computers
49:51
he doesn’t have to do any of that he has
49:54
his own business
49:57
he probably makes 10 times more money
50:01
with his own private business he
50:03
probably only earns pennies on the
50:05
dollar from his youtube videos
50:10
adios all right

I finally got around to closing my Yahoo free email account. I have been planning on getting rid of this account for years now. Free email accounts have their advantages and disadvantages.

Also, I am removing my Internet footprint so to speak. It may be productive for you to learn how to host your own email service. You can obtain a virtual private server and host your own email.

There are paid for email service providers. However, I do not necessarily trust them. Anyways, now I am going to discuss how to close Yahoo email account permanently.

At one time you could delete your Yahoo email account via somewhere in your profile and or account settings. When I went to close Yahoo email account permanently, I could not find where to perform this action. It could be buried somewhere in a menu that I did not find.

You can close Yahoo email account permanently now. You will need to login in or already be logged into your Yahoo email account. You will be presented with a lengthy warning page.

If you scroll down to the very bottom of this page, you will see a “Continue delete my account” button. You will be sent to another web page, where you have to type in your Yahoo email address. A “Yes terminate this account” blue button will be visible.

Once you click on that button, you will see a page notifying you that your account has been scheduled for deletion. Your Yahoo account now actually has been deactivated. There is a 30, 90, or 180 day grace period depending on what country you reside in.

This grace period allows you to reactivate your Yahoo email account. I tested this feature, and you are sent a code to your recovery email address associated with your Yahoo email account. Once you enter in this recovery code, you are then required to change your Yahoo email password.

Once you change your Yahoo email password successfully, then you can log into your Yahoo email account. There are some other stipulations that you might want to read over, before you close Yahoo email account permanently.

How to Close Yahoo Email Account Permanently – Video Transcript

00:00
stas our own Tony de aina Kabir Khan
00:04
motivator Potter to you or I’m gonna
00:05
finally remove my yahoo email account
00:09
that I wanted to remove now for yours I
00:12
just finally got around to it alright so
00:14
let’s cut to the chase I’ll give you a
00:17
couple of gold tips at the beginning of
00:19
the video make certain though when you
00:23
do delete your yahoo email account that
00:25
you take it serious and then here’s my
00:28
first gold tip according to my studies
00:31
when you delete your yahoo email account
00:33
after the grace period
00:34
you do get a grace period to see the 30
00:36
90 or 180 days depending on which
00:38
country you reside in after that grace
00:42
period is permanent however the second
00:45
person that comes along and uses that
00:48
same email address let’s as an example
00:51
government sucks at yahoo.com govern
00:54
mint sucks at yahoo.com if you use that
01:01
email address for recovery purposes like
01:05
to log in to your dumb device your cell
01:10
phone or your Android or whatever or
01:12
your iPhone or you used it to recover
01:14
your Apple identification or you used it
01:16
as a recovery for your banking website
01:20
information anything a face book
01:22
whatever it is what’s been happening is
01:25
that and you didn’t change your email
01:28
address and you still any tried to
01:30
recover that information the second
01:33
person that comes along would receive
01:35
your email messages and possibly get
01:37
into those websites did you know that
01:41
all right
01:42
my second gold tip is that you might
01:46
want to take it more serious if you’re
01:48
using your yahoo email for important
01:51
information make sure that you’re not
01:55
using it for recovery purposes for any
01:57
websites if you are go login to those
02:01
websites whether it’s a banking website
02:03
Facebook of social engineering I mean
02:06
social brainwashing I mean
02:10
any other website change it change it to
02:14
a different email address that you have
02:17
access to or change it to use a phone
02:19
number instead or whatever because if
02:22
you delete your yahoo email account and
02:25
then you forgot to change your recovery
02:27
address for let’s say a banking website
02:30
and then you forget your password or
02:32
somebody sort of convinced it and locks
02:34
you out and then you can’t get back in
02:37
because you don’t have access to your
02:38
Yahoo government sucks at yahoo.com
02:41
recovery email you might be fucked so
02:45
that that’s my second gold tip alright
02:46
so let’s cut to the chase
02:48
now you might also want to go through
02:50
the account and just delete all the
02:53
folders clean it up backup your email
02:56
messages backup your folders
02:59
I might make a second video showing you
03:00
how to use Thunderbird two to easily
03:04
backup your e-mail from yahoo it there’s
03:08
a little there’s some technical details
03:10
you have to go through a bit it’s really
03:11
not that difficult
03:12
I might make that video I mean I just
03:14
don’t know click on the link in the
03:15
description box below that will take you
03:17
to my blog post on my website and it
03:18
covers com where I will include a direct
03:20
link to where you deactivate your
03:23
account
03:24
I think they removed it at one time it
03:26
was hidden you have to go through all
03:27
these menus either the account settings
03:29
or the privacy settings and then you to
03:32
finally stumble upon you know how do I
03:34
delete my or delete yahoo account I
03:36
think they removed it from everywhere
03:38
now well I couldn’t find it I went
03:40
everywhere I found the direct link so I
03:44
will include that and I will also
03:46
include a link to this help file that
03:49
gives you some tips and some additional
03:50
information I haven’t written with the
03:52
blog post yet but I don’t I might write
03:54
it now or you know sometime in the next
03:58
decade alright so quickly quickly I’m
04:04
not going to read verbatim that will get
04:05
you account terminated from YouTube all
04:09
right quickly so basically you want to
04:12
make sure that you don’t have
04:14
outstanding debt if you if the only
04:17
money you gotta pay that off first with
04:20
your yahoo account if you have any
04:22
subscriptions or maybe you have Yahoo
04:24
Mail Pro also it might be a good idea to
04:27
account you want to cancel any
04:29
subscriptions that you have with you
04:30
yahoo account counsel your yahoo mail
04:33
pro now that might be a different
04:35
process I’m not sure if if you did have
04:38
a yahoo mail pro would you use the same
04:40
link I just do not know that because I
04:42
do not own a yahoo mail pro my point is
04:44
that you there are certain restrictions
04:48
here so now also caveat emptor you’re no
04:52
longer gonna have your emails you’re not
04:54
going to have your folders you’re not
04:55
going to have your Flickr photos you’re
04:58
not going to have your calendar items
04:59
you’re not gonna have your Yahoo fantasy
05:01
garbage and your finance powerful all
05:04
that all the stock market just tanked
05:07
all of that couldn’t have been by design
05:08
do you really think what do you think
05:11
all this is going on in society you
05:12
think it’s all an accident to me it’s
05:14
all by design yeah anyways
05:23
there is it the – there’s a tool to
05:27
download the data but it’s not really
05:29
like a tool that will download it to you
05:31
to your desktop or I tried it and all’s
05:34
it does is it it’s part of my video that
05:36
I might make it helps you set up your
05:39
Thunderbird so that you can access your
05:42
yahoo mail and then I I know of a really
05:44
quick technique so and I’m not going to
05:47
discuss that further because you’re
05:48
gonna have to watch that video if I ever
05:49
record it you can download your Flickr
05:57
photos now I already went over the
06:01
account balance you cannot have a
06:04
outstanding balance here’s the yahoo
06:07
account terminate page which I’m going
06:09
to browse to and then you have a 30 day
06:14
grace period in most countries except
06:17
for Australia India or New Zealand you
06:19
have a 90 day grace period Brazil Hong
06:22
Kong or Taiwan you have a 180 day grace
06:25
period what that means is that if you
06:27
change your mind and you need access to
06:29
your yahoo email account you will have
06:32
either 30 90 or 180 days to log back in
06:35
now quickly did I let me go over what I
06:38
had to do because these are some
06:40
additional tips I had to I I tested it
06:43
out just a few minutes ago what happens
06:45
is that when you try to log into that
06:46
government sucks at yahoo.com email
06:50
account it does not allow you to type in
06:54
a password it automatically sends a code
06:56
to your recovery email address for your
07:00
yahoo account
07:01
I received the code I typed it in and
07:03
then it prompted me to change my
07:06
password I set a new password I was able
07:10
to log in and then so that feature works
07:13

always tread cautiously there’s assholes
07:52

find one piece of information all of a
07:59
sudden you can’t log into a website or
08:00
like that one YouTube content creator
08:03
which I will not name was swatted on a
08:05
live stream he was just helping people I
08:09

their platform there’s a term that H
09:08
word the computer security circumvention
09:14
circumvention there’s a concept called
09:18
social engineering you don’t want
09:22
anybody to obtain any information about
09:25
you because all it takes is one piece of
09:28
information and they can possibly
09:32
circumvent your social engineering I
09:36
mean social networking website you’re a
09:38
bank account you know business account
09:43
login or I’m not making that shit up so
09:46

my computer from the internet I mean
11:19

quit using the computers quit using the
11:23
internet because all it does is just
11:25
cause problems
11:26
I mean hurry so I’m not going to screen
11:28
capture this because I actually went
11:30
through this process before and it shows
11:32
information that I don’t want anybody to
11:35
see
11:36
you have to type your email message
11:38
excuse me you have to type in your email
11:41
account again so that’s what I’m doing
11:43
here
11:44
and then it’s got a blue button that
11:46
says he has to terminate this account
11:49
but I do not want you to know a certain
11:52
piece of information because I’m a
11:53
real-world computer technician and there
11:56
ain’t not now
11:57
there will be no swatting me fuck you
12:02
motherfuckers if you ever thought that
12:04
you could fucking SWAT me and knock and
12:07
get away with it back the fuck up before
12:10
you get smacked the fuck up because
12:12
that’s not how I roll man all right so
12:19
now I’m gonna click on the yes terminate
12:21
this account it’s thinking all right now
12:25
I can show you this screen and my
12:29
anarchist symbol I mean your account has
12:35
been deactivated and scheduled for
12:38
deletion you no longer have access to
12:40
this account which will be deleted from
12:41
our database got it yes sir I got it you
12:45
got it on and then I don’t think there’s
12:49
anything else but you just never know
12:52
I’m gonna click on the blue got it and
12:54
then where do you want to go to there on
12:57
it just took me back to the Yahoo
12:59
homepage
12:59
all right so we’re pretty much probably
13:02
done with screen capturing I have a few
13:04
minutes left I have two minutes left so
13:05
quickly I gave you a gold tip at the
13:09
beginning about warning you about using
13:13
Yahoo has a recovery apparatus because
13:15
the set the next person that comes along
13:17
to use that same email address
13:19
government sucks at yahoo.com which I
13:23
hope somebody does pick that hopefully
13:25
it’s already taken and hopefully their
13:28
anarchist art is that dot buyer beware
13:32
here here’s an additional tip I don’t
13:35
give our orders get it on anarchist I’m
13:38
against Authority if you’re offended by
13:39
that fuck you get off my youtube channel
13:41
all right
13:44
you may not want to use the free email
13:47
services for important information I
13:51
would not use it not no I don’t give out
13:54
orders it’s it’s fundamentally up to you
13:56
it’s your choice it’s your decision I’m
13:58
giving you some tips as a real-world
14:00
computer technician all day every day I
14:03
could probably make ace an itch career
14:10
out of just accounts all day every day
14:13
on a third-party website which I will
14:15
never reference it ever people get
14:20
locked out of Facebook they get locked
14:22
out of their PayPal account they get
14:24
locked out of their a o L account they
14:27
get locked out of yahoo email account
14:29
they get locked out of gmail account
14:31
they get locked out of hotmail account
14:32
they get locked out of their Microsoft
14:35
account they can’t log in to the
14:36
computer because they’re locked out of
14:38
their Microsoft account they can’t
14:41
access their iPad or iPhone or their
14:45
Macintosh because they’re locked out
14:47
because they don’t know their Apple
14:48
identification
14:53
you know what I’m saying
14:55
if you use Yahoo or any other free email
14:59
service as your recovery option you know
15:03
all where you say oh I forgot my
15:04
password okay we’ll send you an email to
15:06
government sucks at yahoo.com and then
15:09
we got a link for you or we got a code
15:11
for you just type in the code or click
15:13
on the link
15:17
well I’ll get it get it there’s a lot of
15:22
shenanigans going on on the Internet I
15:24
could literally just make a living doing
15:25
that all day I choose not to because I
15:28
don’t know what the success rates are if
15:32
basically if you don’t know your
15:34
password you’re pretty much fun and
15:37
especially if you do not know your
15:38
security request answers to your
15:41
security questions or you do not you
15:43
forgot your ID these people forget their
15:45
email ids or they forget the email
15:48
address or they don’t have access to the
15:50
email address or oh my god they don’t
15:53
have access to the same phone anymore
15:55
they changed phone providers or they
15:57
change their phone number all it just
16:00
goes on all day all day every day it’s
16:02
just like oh fuck man no wonder why I’m
16:04
fucking mentally ill
16:08
oh my god I’m over over the overtime
16:10
period shit well no this is overtime now
16:13
that’s right I gotta run I got like I
16:16
usually try to keep my videos down to 15
16:18
minutes
16:18
I still gotta upload this motherfucker
16:20
alright any other tips
16:24
I gave you that gold one I’ll not go
16:25
over that again what was another one
16:28
since I’m a real-world compare
16:29
technician I used to
16:33
refused to answer well I used to refuse
16:35
to work on those types of because I knew
16:37
the success rate was very low
16:40
this website which I’m not no I’m not
16:42
getting details they change the way we
16:44
are compensated and now as long as I try
16:47
to help the person as much as possible
16:48
most times I get paid for it so now it
16:51
is Padilla Cheryl irresponsible for me
16:54
to help people with their login problems
16:57
are you for you know I worked on this
17:00
website for a decade now off and on and
17:03
back in the day when I first started I
17:06
would help people but I quickly learned
17:07
that the success rate is very low
17:11
a lot of times it’s just mental midgets
17:14
or just however but now over the last
17:17
decade there I could be paranoia I don’t
17:21
believe all the stories sometimes I
17:23
wonder if they’re trying to get me to
17:25
help so that they can circumvent
17:27
somebody else’s account I’m that’s
17:30
another reason why I used to never help
17:32
people because I was like how could it
17:34
be and you’ll get these sob stories like
17:36
well my my wife just died and I need to
17:40
get into their bank account and like
17:43
borrow well how do I know you’re you
17:45
know telling the truth I’m not gonna
17:48
know I’m not gonna knowingly help a
17:50
fuckin crook alright but any other tips
17:54
when it comes to
17:58
this this should be a warning because I
18:01
everyday I see people just they can’t
18:05
login and I’m like well done just I
18:10
would learn try to learn how to host
18:13
your own email
18:16
try to host your own email there are you
18:19
can buy paying email services that are
18:23
not connected to the free email service
18:25
providers but I wouldn’t trust those
18:27
either
18:28
you just don’t know anymore nowadays oh
18:30
I mean all day long people are getting
18:33
locked out of Facebook for no reason
18:35
they’re getting locked out of PayPal for
18:38
no reason they’re getting locked out of
18:41
Gmail and Yahoo and hotmail
18:44
and their Microsoft account their Apple
18:46
identification for no reason and I you
18:49
know why I believe them I’m not gonna
18:51
tell you what bank just a last week I
18:55
had a bank account for decades decades
18:59
and they just closed my bank account for
19:03
no reason I was not no no no I was not
19:06
overdrawn III very rarely used that’s my
19:09
suspicion is I very rarely used that
19:12
bank account and I only really used it
19:14
for like one or two transactions one
19:16
there was one specific bill that I had
19:19
set to auto pay and alls I did was be
19:21
money as soon as I received the
19:26
that that payment went through our that
19:28
that that this company was dead
19:33
and then as soon as I received the email
19:35
from that
19:37
was
19:41
I wouldn’t immediately transfer money
19:45
last
19:46
we herewith never had a problem last
19:49
week outside
19:55
all of a sudden
19:56
I noticed that I didn’t get my
20:05
then I
20:14
every website that I thought was
20:15
important
20:20
and I thought
20:23
and I changed
20:25
recovery information where I
20:27
double-checked
20:29
everyone said it was important
20:36
as we covered
20:40
have access to that recovery
20:58
so yeah
21:02
I’ll count that I’ve had
21:13
he’s trying time that one might get
21:15
close to I think I can be wrong I think
21:18
and stationed in this
21:24
notorious for closing
21:30
and all of a sudden I was able to log in
21:32
but it but I I saw this big pop up
21:36
account closed
21:39
and then I saw the last transaction it
21:42
said closeout or whatever I was like
21:44
but now like I said before I
21:47
is that Bank flight before
21:49
a couple of specific you know purposes
21:52
but I was
21:54
don’t close that account anyways so
21:56
actually actually they helped me down
21:59
and I see you know some money per month
22:03
never charged me so that that’s the
22:05
fundamental
22:13
as the recovery scores
22:16
yeah
22:20
all right so that is how you terminate
22:23
your
22:25
and I might make the second
22:27
showing you how
22:31
mostly
22:35
why they don’t even remember their fuck
22:38
or that idea what that shit off
22:40
well here’s a bonus tip on being a
22:43
pillar traffic
22:46
why right give out free information when
22:49
all you motherfuckers on
22:50
you want everything for free or you can
22:52
play all that’s right I disable my
22:53
comments
22:56
yeah what your videos are too long here
22:59
I’m gonna cut to the chase yeah I get it
23:04
here’s another
23:06
this is only exclusively with job
23:11
because I make money on that one every
23:12
day
23:13
there is a contact form
23:19
if you cannot
23:23
access your yahoo email account
23:26
you know obviously you want to
23:28
use their forgot password’ tool
23:31
got your ID they have a forgot ID tool
23:33
and
23:34
if you forgot your email
23:36
for that go through all that if you
23:38
still cannot access your email or
23:41
have access it
23:44
access to them
24:02
another tip I don’t know why I just
24:08
why oh that’s right cuz I know
24:14
by not getting any mosquitoes we’re
24:16
gonna have
24:21
you can check to a young
24:27
and chat to them and
24:29
I tried him
24:31
nice looking
24:32
I submitted
24:45
a

I received an extremely suspicious email recently in my inbox. This email message circumvented my junk mail filters. This alone caused me to get moody real quick.

However, this email was so obviously NOT a legitimate email message for many reasons. Most major banking institutions do NOT send out emails asking you to confirm your banking records and to sign on. This should always be a clue to you to steer clear away from this type of email message.

When in doubt, just fucking delete the email message. I included a screen capture image of this email for this blog post. Here is the exact email message that I received in my inbox:

Subject
Your Wells Fargo Response Required

Correspondents
Wells Fargo Online

Date

From Wells Fargo Online
Subject Your Wells Fargo Response Required
Recipients

Dear Wells Fargo Customer,

We recently have determined that different computers have logged onto your online Banking account, and multiple password failures were present before the logons. We now need to re-confirm your account information to us. If this is not completed by 72 hours, we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you for your cooperation in this manner.

To confirm your online Banking records click on the following link: Sign on

Thank you for your patience,
Wells Fargo Customer Service.

What gave this email away as a phishing expedition, at least to me was the From portion of this email. Obviously, bgeary@lmiaerospace.com is NOT a Wells Fargo corporate email address that I am aware of. Also, when you hover over the “Sign on” you get this hyper text transfer protocol link:

https://gruposolerium.com/alert/image/webcontect/freshupdate/wells1stprocessing.php

This obviously could NOT be a legitimate Wells Fargo corporate website link could it? Obviously, this is a fraudulent email message. As a computer technician here some tips when dealing with potentially fraudulent email messages.

I actually started laughing out loud when I saw the From field. This is a very sloppy phishing email message. Also, as a mostly raw food vegan I take offense to phishing, er I mean fishing?

Anyways, phishing emails are phonetically the same pronunciation as fishing. This term means that perpetrators on the Internet are phishing for sensitive information from you. Email address, username, password, transmission control protocol internet protocol address, etc.

Some of these emails also include links to web pages with adware, malware, spyware, and viruses. Even ransomware can infect your computer with a fake phony email message like this one. When in doubt, do NOT click on any web links included in a message.

You might want to take these types of email messages more seriously. The dangerous part is when you voluntarily give out sensitive information. For example your username and password to your banking website.

That is exactly what this con artist wanted me to freely volunteer. Fool me once, fuck you, fool me twice, fuck me. You can always mark these types of messages as Junk and or Spam.

You may end up not receiving legitimate email messages in your inbox. Obviously, it is up to you how you proceed with these types of email messages. I am a busy individual so normally, I just mark them as spam.

Also, I do NOT normally sign up to email newsletters, email lists, etc. Me personally, I do NOT consider emails from banking institutions as important, with the exception of a few types. My banking institution actually on more than one occasion alerted me to unusual activity with my online banking login.

I had to even change my password the first time I visited that website after receiving this alert. This is another tip, when in doubt do NOT allow yourself to become curious enough to click on links with these types of call to actions:

* Log in
* Sign in
* Verify password
* Verify account information

Instead, if you think it maybe a legitimate email message, browse directly to that website instead. I will never spam you or ask you to verify your account information at AnetComputers.com out of nowhere. However, you could just open a web browser and directly type in AnetComputers.com into the address bar.

This way you can rule out any potentially nefarious hyper text transfer protocol links in an email message. Here is another tip, do NOT click on any attachments in an email message if you are in doubt to the validity of the email message and sender. This email message did NOT include any attachments.

However, quite a few email messages that are of the phishing type, will include attachments. The attachment could be adware, malware, spyware, virus, or another way to obtain sensitive information from you. That attachment could actually be a keystroke logger, that will log all your keystrokes on your keyboard and send that information back to the perpetrator.

I am NOT fear mongering Per se. I am giving you real world examples of what can happen if and when you open a unscrupulous email message. Do NOT become another victim of a phishing expedition.

Finally, what you can do is to begin to study these email messages. You may not know it but most email systems including web based email gives you the ability to view the source of an email. You can possibly find out the perpetrators real email address.

Although there is a way to spoof this an remain anonymous. You can even potentially find out the transmission control protocol internet protocol address of the perpetrator. Also, by you looking for patterns, you can learn how to spot these phishing emails, sooner and before you make the mistake of clicking on attachments or any web links.

When in doubt do NOT open a suspicious email message. When in doubt do NOT open any attachments. I recently received three email messages that were obvious fakes, claiming they were from some department of the United States government.

I am NOT a fan of the United States government military. However, it was obvious these phishing emails were fraudulent as they asked me to enter in a supplied password in order to open the included attachment. Fool me once…

If out of curiosity you open one of these phishing emails, you may want to perform a spyware scan immediately. Make sure your firewall is turned on.

I recently upgraded a customers’ operating system from Macintosh Yosemite which is 10.10 to El Capitan which is 10.11. Everything went smoothly, until the customer could NOT use their Apple mail. Here is their response after this upgrade:

“Aaron, I know you are sleep now, but when you are back at your computer please let me know how to get my e-mail to work. Since the El Capitan was installed, I can’t get my e-mail to respond at all. When you click on mail it is completely blank.

Thanks”

Here is my response to this perplexing situation. Make sure that Apple mail is not opened, before changing these settings. In the dock, Apple mail should not be highlighted.

You could reboot your MAC to make sure that Apple mail is not opened. Try the following steps. Quit Apple mail.

Open “System Preferences” then choose “Internet Accounts”. Click on the email account you are having trouble with and turn off “Mail”. Turn “Mail” back on again. Now open Apple mail.

Initially, this did NOT fix this Apple mail problem. However, I think the customer must have performed the proceeding steps a second time. They were then able to successfully access their email.

“The things you told me must have worked. I’m getting both of the e-mails now. You always know just what to do. Thank you. What state are you in?”

Operating system upgrades are NOT always a picture perfect venture. That includes Macintosh operating system upgrades. Thankfully, only one issue was caused by this Yosemite to El Capitan upgrade.

However, not being able to access email might be a major crisis for some Macintosh users. Also, believe it or not this was the first solution I presented to this customer. It may appear as if I have all the answers for computer problems.

I researched this problem and tried to target it to problems after Macintosh operating system upgrades. I do NOT always fix problems with the first solution presented. However, when I do fix problems the first go around, it validates perhaps my use of logic.

I recently received an email message from Yahoo concerning an alleged security issue. I first noticed this message by accessing my Yahoo email account via my HTC 626S Android. When I accessed my Yahoo email account via a web based interface on a desktop computer, I received a “Your account may have been affected by a security issue. You can read about the issue and how to further secure your account here” popup message.

I was reluctant to open a link in this email message on my Android. However, this popup message had a link to a Yahoo security notice dated from December fourteen two thousand sixteen. Yahoo Incorporated claims that one billion Yahoo account email users were affected.

A third party stole data associated with these email accounts. However, Yahoo claims that they have not been able to identify footprints of this intrusion. This incident allegedly took place in August two thousand thirteen.

This is a separate issue that was reported by Yahoo on September twenty second two thousand sixteen. Yahoo required email users to change their passwords after this incident. Security answers and questions that were not encrypted have been invalidated.

Information that may have been stolen includes:

* Names
* Email addresses
* Telephone numbers
* Birth dates
* Hashed passwords using MD5
* Encrypted or not encrypted security questions and answers

Yahoo was given what appeared as data stolen from a third party, by alleged law enforcement. This data was then analyzed by third party forensic experts hired by Yahoo. This is when Yahoo concluded that this data breach occurred in August of two thousand thirteen.

Yahoo recommends changing your password and or security answers and questions. However, if you decide to delete your Yahoo email account, these accounts get recycled. What this means is that after a year or so somebody else will be able to user your old email address.

If you used this email address for password resets, then that other individual may be able to access important user information. You may want to just hang on to your Yahoo email account but not use it for important emails such as password resets.

A constantly increasing amount of spam messages in your inbox can be a real problem. Every day that you spend precious time cleaning your inbox manually, takes away time from other activities. And that problem may only get worse in a future, because sending spam is cheap and simple.

With just one click of a button, a spammer can reach hundreds of thousands of addresses quickly. No matter how low of a response rate, there are always people who will respond to an offer. Most spam filters need training by a user, from marking messages manually as spam over a couple of days.

A filter then learns what words and combination of words are regarded as spam, and which ones are not considered spam. Spammers might know this, and are always trying to get around filters. Spam messages many times include genuine text besides a spam message.

This increases a ratio of good text to bad text in a message, which lowers a particular score of a message so that individual spam message is identified as genuine. After marking these messages as spam, a filter is then poisoned with harmless genuine text. This can lead to new legitimate genuine messages being identified as spam, or so called false positives.

False positives can be even more annoying to a user than an actual spam message. When a number of false positives gets too high, a user might regard that filter as useles and even turn it off. If you are tired of using precious time filtering out spam from your inbox, you might want to download Caretaker AntiSpam or similar software.

Today I will be walking you through step by step process of configuring your Horde web mail settings for use within your Gmail account. If you haven’t already once in Gmail go to “Settings” then click on “Accounts and Import” tab. Click on “Add POP3 mail account you own” if you want to just check your Horde mail within your Gmail account.

Follow some prompts by entering your full email address ie. johndoe@domain.com. Enter your Horde username. You may need to use your full email address ie. johndoe@domain.com as your username, including @ symbol and domain.

Enter your Horde password. Select a check next to “Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server” if you don’t want to download your Horde email into your Gmail account. Enter your correct “POP Server” mail server ie. mail.domain.com.

Select a correct port number for mail server ie. 110. Default port 110 should work, but try any of some other ports in a drop down list if you know all other email settings are correct. Click “Add Account”.

Also, you can send email as your Horde email account via Gmail. Select “Yes, I want to be able to send mail as” radio button for this option or select “No (you can change this later)”. Click on “Next Step”.

Enter information about your other email address such as “Name” and reply to “Email address:”. Click on “Next Step”. Select “Send mail through your SMTP server?” settings.

You can choose to send email through Gmail or through your domain SMTP servers. You will need to enter your “SMTP Server” ie. smtp.domain.com, username, password, and port number, if you choose to send email through your domain SMTP server. Click on “Next Step”.

You will be asked to verify your email address if you wish to send your johndoe@domain.com email through Gmail. Click on “Send Verification” to have the Gmail system send you instructions via email for a verification process. You are now setup to receive and send your Horde email via your Gmail account.

These instructions were created for use with accessing your Horde email account within Gmail, but can certainly be used as a basis for other types of webmail accounts.

You know some Internet lines were affected because of a weather storm, but you have not been able to access your e-mail all day long. Even now you are still unable to access your e-mail, yet you have been able to access the web, Facebook, etc. You have shut down your computer a few times.

You disconnected and re-connected your Internet modem. You can try clearing your DNS cache. In a command prompt type in “ipconfig /flushdns” without quotes.

Sometimes on Windows computers a local DNS cache is not flushed properly. This cache is supposed to get cleared when shutting down your Windows based operating system ie. Windows XP, Vista, Seven, Eight, Ten. Manually flushing your cache can potentially fix an issue where you cannot access certain Internet protocols.

How can you access your e-mail from a different location other than your personal computer? You can use your Internet service provider’s web mail utility. Sign in with your Internet service provider user ID and password.

You will be able to access your Internet service provider’s email from any computer with Internet access and a standard web browser ie. Internet Explorer and Firefox. If you want to access your company or organization email anywhere with an Internet connection, then It depends on if your company or organization has web mail configured. If they do, then depending on what kind of email server software they are using, then yes I would say with a standard web browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer that this is possible.

Please try accessing your email via http://webmail.MyCompany.com. You may need to include @MyCompany.com with your username when trying to login. Also, asking your company or organization email administrator if they have web mail access is recommended.
