I have an email bug that keeps sending out emails to my contact list.?
I am ready to delete my yahoo account and move to Gmail. How can I scrub my mail database?
The spammer probably has your password. Most of the time this is obtained by phishing spam.
Change your password. Log into your Yahoo email and go to:
Options
Mail Options
Account information
You will be asked to give your password again. This is safe as long as you started from a proper Yahoo login, not a link from within a spam or other link.
From here you can change your password. However, you also want to look at the Contact Information.
You should find a Yahoo! Email that agrees with your account name. You may find a Home Email. This is an alternate contact address. There should not be one unless you entered one. If you find an unfamiliar one it could have been entered by the spammers. If they have inserted a home email under their control, they can report a "forgotten" password and collect the new password at that address.
If you do want to open a new account and abandon the old one, there are some things to do. Be sure that you have all your addresses copied to a text file, and empty your address book. You don’t want to leave those lying around for a spammer to exploit again. If there are important emails in your mailboxes forward them to your new email address. Empty all your mailboxes and empty the trash.

How do I use PHP to create a mailing list?
I have a database populated with email addresses and its all configured with php files and such on a webserver. What PHP commands do I use to read the emails from the database table and send an email to all of them at once?
The most simple and barebones method of doing what you need done is through a couple php functions. You’ll want to run a MySQL query to create an object from your database that will hold all of the email addresses.
So you’ll want to connect and select the db first;
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-select-db.php
And then run the query;
http://ca.php.net/mysql_query
Iterate through your query results and mail each of them;
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
It will look like this (Code starting):
// Connecting to the database
$db = mysql_connect(’localhost’, ‘yourdbuser’, ‘yourdbpassword’);
if (!$db) die(mysql_error());
// Selecting the database table
$selectdb = mysql_select_db(’yourdbname’, $db);
if (!$selectdb) die(mysql_error());
// Running the MySQL query
$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM yourtable);
// Pulling up the results and iterating through them
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($results)) {
// Emailing each member
$to = $row->email;
$subject = ‘This is a test’;
$message = ‘This is a test’;
$headers = ‘From: youremail@example.com’ . "\r\n" .
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’ . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

Is there a "message list" option for the iPhone (similar to the Blackberry style)?
Moving from Blackberry to iPhone and I loved the "message list" on Blackberry. It showed each and every incoming or outgoing call, text or email on one long list. Sort of a historical database of all happenings on the phone. Is there an app or a setting for that on the iphone?
i dont have an iPhone but what you want is "threaded messaging"
