Yes I still have copies of the offending outgoing email saved in my sent box. But that doesn't prove anything
It proves that your email account was hacked, not spoofed. If it had been spoofed, there would be no such emails in your sent box. Your apparent reluctance to answer some of the specific questions that have been asked leads to the belief that you are more interested in perpetuating the myth that you have malware, rather than trying to find a resolution to your issue.
reluctance??? some of us have to work. So no it's simply a time constraint besides I expected all recipients to delete any spam which originated from my email account after warning them.
And it doesn't prove the account was hacked either, at least not by any person.
Meanwhile some moderator closed the old thread??

This screenshot of one of many emails still in my email accounts sent box obviously sanitized for privacy.
if my email account was hacked, why did the flood of emails return after entering the new password in my iPhones email settings?
And why stop with sending a few emails? When there is so much more you can accomplish if you went to all the trouble of hacking someone's email?
Doesn't look like the work of a spoof either since many emails returned from the primary outgoing server
the only available computer with access to send email without entering a password is the iPhone.
Immediately selecting airplane mode during the second wave of batch emails prevented more emails from being sent.
There is a lot of selective hearing going on here, luckily it takes a lot more than childish remarks to phase me. so forgive me for thinking there were knowledgable people here who would be able to provide additional and intelligent insight
for now I have changed only the email account on my iPhone which deleted the old account info and data in the process. So far there has been no repetition of mass emails from my iPhone or from anywhere else for that matter
