I am still getting to know my new email but nevertheless have to say I was staggered when transferring some content relating to my Chairmanship of a school governing body from my previous Windows Live Mail address with Waitrose to my new inbox that it opened bearing a photograph of my wife against the sending address which she tells me is that from her Facebook page.

 

I have sought no links with Facebook nor for that matter with Twitter or LinkedIn and find this unsolicited intrusion unacceptable (I subscribe to none of them).

 

Why and how did it occur and how can I get rid of it and ensure that it doesn't happen again if I find I need to import more historical emails?

 

I was duped into sending (or trying to send) this message earlier by naively believing that the invitation to "add to contacts" the email address which welcomed me into this new world actually meant I could use it as a contact but it quickly came back as undeliverable from yet another address about Hotmail...............customer friendly or what?

 

I acknowledge my limitations as to computer literacy but that just means surely that it should be made easier for me to contact you for help from time to time but I am given to understand that this is the only game in town.

 

 I await your advice with thanks in anticipation.
