My name is Yoshinobu OKUMOTO. I live in Nara prefecture in Japan. I use Thunderbird as my e-mail software. My e-mail address is "<edited>@asahi.email.ne.jp". I have received a mail at January 29 18:35, 2026 . In the space for name of a sender of the mail, "<edited>@asahi.email.ne.jp" is written. This is my e-mail address in Thunderbird. I did not sent a mail at January 29 18:35, 2026 . I wonder who sent this mail to me.

When this mail was sent to me, a red spam mail mark was attached to this mail. Usually, when I received a spam mail, I transfer the spam mail to a spam mail folder. But in this case, if I transfer this mail to a spam mail folder, I worries that transformation might transfer a mail from my acquaintance to the spam mail folder from that time on.

In the main body of the mail which I received at January 29 18:35, 2026, it was written as follows.

" Account is invalid. 

When this page is displayed, the total of the account "asahi.email.ne.jp" is invalid.

The procedure to confirm the reason 1. Log-in with a browser, for example Chrome, to the account "asahi.email.ne.jp." 2.If the account is invalid, the explanation is displayed."

In the sentences mentioned above, " Account is invalid. When this page is displayed, the total of the account "asahi.email.ne.jp" is invalid." But I can use my Thunderbird as usual except this mail.

Next, I tried to log-in to the account "asahi.email.ne.jp" with a browser Chrome, I could not log-in.

I already received this mail which have the same text three times until now, 1/20 19:17, 1/21 17:21, 1/24 21:04.

If it is necessary for me to forward to you the mail which I received at January 29 18:35, 2026, I send the mail if you inform me of your mail address.

I will be thankful, if you give me some advices in this case.

If I understand properly, you are receiving email that appears to have been sent by you to yourself. That is a common trick by spammers. When thunderbird flags it as spam, it is not because of that, but by other parts of the email header, and it is fine to store in spam folder. I do not understand the concern for the website, as receiving the spam would be a different issue.
