In that case it looks like the password has been broken and allowed access. See if you can log into the account yourself using your original password - if so then change it to something a lot harder to guess such as U8f93Gd01XplQ7 !! If not then get back to AOL and say you've forgotten your password and get them to reset it ( they'll use a default such as ABC123 ) and again log in and change the password as above. Remember to make a note of this password yourself !! AFAIK AOL e-mail accounts are for life but if you don't use it at all for a while they may just delete it at some point. Either way, if you've locked out the spammers then job done :-) -- Best regards, Barry mailto:[email protected] MicroSoft Free Zone running Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid' 64bit
