Why don't you go to your Tools>Accounts, in OE and click on the Mail tab,
and delete what accounts you don't want or are not yours or delete them all
and start over. If your complaint is your receiving email with your name or
parts of your name in the address, there is not much you can do about that.
You just have to stop entering your email account at websites or ask who
ever is to stop.
