I have been having a problem with my emails

I noticed that I was not getting a response to my sent emails. I just sent my son an email and if you hit reply the response is directed to a different, fake, account. The reply goes to *****@mnoin.com. My email address is *****@yahoo.com. What can I do to correct this?

Not sure where to find the settings image of the settings icon

author

Do you see the Settings icon?
It supposed to look like this:
when I hit that I get a black screen with a small square with a white dot in the middle.

Customer Replay

Okay, do you see the settings icon when you click on your icon account?
It is supposed to look like a cogwheel.
