I would think someone is spoofing using your address.
Hotmail has fairly decent security, IMO.

I'm not suspecting my hotmail being hacked. Since I rarely use my hotmail on my computer. I just use it on the N900..
I'm trying backtrack were it was sent from..
Any clues?

Hello!
Last week I found out I've sent some spam (weight loss pills) to a some ppl. I'm suspecting that they were sent from my nokia n900 since I'm always logged in to my hotmail using the native email client.
Why suspect they were coming from my N900 is that my computer wasn't on during this time. I've looked thru the outbox but I can't find any of those emails there.
Have any one else had similar problems with their N900??
Since then I've changed my password.
But is it possible for another application to use the email client to send out spam??
I am not an expert, and the above is an approximation of the story as I understand it.

I think you have been spoofed or hacked.
If you have changed your password and the messages stopped, i'd guess the latter.

But can anyone confirm that no other app can use my native email client?
