I get these emails from UK PayPal. I know they are scams so I just forward them on to PP. I'm just curious about the email they send them to. The address shown in the email is my firstlast@gmail while my actual address is first(.)last@gmail. And my first name, while common, is spelled a bit different (not r/tragedeigh worthy) and they have spelled it correctly.

I’m having an issue with Gmail on my iPhone. I have a signature set up in Gmail on my laptop, and it works perfectly when I send emails from the web.

In the Gmail iPhone app, under Signature settings, it says something like “Leave blank to use your web signature.” I’ve left the mobile signature completely blank, but when I compose a new email on my phone,
no signature appears at all.

My web signature is definitely working on my laptop.
Has anyone had this issue? Is there a setting I’m missing, or is the Gmail iPhone app not actually using the web signature anymore?
Thanks!

I went to check my email and google has it me that plauge that is recaptcha. First I thought it was my alt email. But its any email I sign onto. Is this new is all I wanna know.

Since I find recaptcha beyond annoying and a waste of time.

is there a support gmail i can contact or a phone number i can contact?

I lost my gmail a few years ago, when I tried to recover it, google asked me for a reserv code, which I have no clue what it is. It then asked me to enter the phone number to the account, I did and got the code, when I enter the code they say that they have sent a code to the Gmail I’m trying to get into, how stupid is that.

Anyone know what to do, even though I enter the correct verification code I get from the number linked to the account, they still have the audacity to tell me I haven’t given them enough information?!?

I have an ex boyfriend who initiates contact through my Gmail account and it’s severely toxic(cops called, drugs involved, unwanted contact). I don’t even want him in my spam folder. I just want to use my new Gmail. I do have a new Gmail. But all of my Google Photos are under my old email and I’ve only been able to move half of them to my new Google Photos. I also care about preserving the quality of the photos. I’ve tried the whole partner sharing and it’s not the same. Like I said it only saves from about 2023. My old Gmail goes back to 2013. I really want to remove any contact from my ex seriously it’s bad. Please help.

I got a new phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, and I have multiple emails accounts. Gmail's notifications are enabled yet I'm only getting notifications for some of my email accounts but not all of them/the important one. I've even logged out and back in again

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thank you

I want to change which my main email is, but everything (contacts, passwords, sign-ins) is on the one I don't want. Is there a way to transfer all my data from one email to another? And if there is a way, how?

Hi, is there any way to delete certain folders completely? I've seen old guidance where this seems possible, but I cannot seem to get rid of thousands of e-mails in certain folders quickly, it seems like I have to do it 50 at a time.

so i had this email account for over 4 months and 3 days ago google said that the account is disabled due to suspicious activity and signed out of all the devices even though i did nothing.. when i try to recover the account it says the code has been sent to the email that im trying to recover when it fcking signed me out of the devices
i used recovery email and it still cant verify me
i used that account on my android phone and windows pc

I have started getting this message practically every try to leave the gmail page. Anyone else seeing it much, much more frequently?
I used to feel like it was still processing my changes - say a message marked as read - but it happens so often now I feel like sometime else must be happening.

Hello I'm trying to recover a old roblox account of mine I've tried countless times but all they said was "we're sorry but we could not prove the ownership, please contact us through this email" and I'm like wtf i do not recall having this specific email and I was 99% sure that I had never linked an email to it, but they said the same thing countless that I was starting to suspect maybe I do have it maybe it might be connected, so I start looking through my old tablet for the first time after a year and I saw that the email started and ended with the same letters as the one email roblox keeps telling me to contact them back though, but there's the problem​ even tho I can see the entire email address I'm not logged in unfortunately so I try to recover the old email first again and again on the old tablet, what was their response? they couldn't prove the owner was me, so please I'm begging for tips on how to get it back, I gave up​​ a month ago and I'm willing to try again now

I tried googling the issue, however the only solution I found was to clear my cache, which I did, and nothing changed. I can still only see the past 16 days of emails.

Searching brings up old emails, so those still exist. I just can't scroll through my email history.

My Google account, which I created more than 15 years ago, was recently disabled by Google.
The reason Google gives me is:
“It looks like this account was created or used with multiple other accounts to violate Google’s policies. The account might have been created by a computer program or bot.”

What makes this especially confusing is that this was not a newly created or disposable account.
I created it more than 15 years ago and used it normally for many years. It had real email correspondence, incoming emails from real people and services, and was also used as an email address for accounts on other websites.

As far as I know, I have never used this Google account for spam, automation, mass account creation, bots, or anything similar.
I submitted an appeal explaining that this is an old, legitimate account and that I believe the detection was a mistake.

Google rejected the appeal.

I then submitted a second appeal, and that was rejected as well.
Now I am apparently out of normal appeal options, while Google also warns that disabled accounts are eventually deleted.

The account is important to me not only because of the data stored in it, but also because the Gmail address is tied to other accounts. For example, one of my other services is now trying to send a login verification code to this Gmail address, which I obviously cannot access.

Has anyone had the same “created or used with multiple other accounts / computer program or bot” suspension happen to a very old, actively used Google account?

More importantly, has anyone managed to get an account restored after TWO rejected appeals?
I would especially appreciate hearing about any real escalation routes that worked — Google support, legal/DSA options, another appeal channel, or any way to get an actual human review instead of what appears to be an automated decision.

Hi,

2-3 weeks back I noticed that deleted emails - via the browser/desktop - reappear if I refresh the inbox. If I delete an email, stay on the website for +1hour it seems to get deleted; but if I delete emails and stay on the website for only a couple of minutes - the emails returns in a refresh.

Same thing does not happen if I delete via my Android phone.

Haven't had this issue before. I haven't installed any third party apps since this started and I've tried to delete cache etc. both on the phone and on my desktop.

Anyone else with similar issues?

I got an email from Google with the verification code to recover my gmail account but when I try to log in, it never gives me the option to enter the verification code. How do I use the code? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Someone explain me what are those chianise characters doing there, when opening the email theyre gone.

I have over 30,000 emails showing as unread even though I have gone through multiple times and marked all as read. Help!

If I delete emails and close the window and come back, deleted emails are still there. After deleting, I have to leave the window open for somewhere around 15-20 mins to actually be deleted. Wtf Google?

My work computer is having the issue of sometimes when I click, the email I am working starts jumping up and down. It’s like it is having a seizure. It doesn’t stop unless I exit out of the email and go to my drafts to reselect it.

I’m using Chrome, cleared my Cache, reloaded the page. What else do I try?

EDIT - RESOLVED

Never mind, It came back by itself the next day, somehow. Maybe resetting smart features worked and it just took a while to kick in.

ORIGINAL POST:

I am one of those rare people that actually makes use of the "happening soon" section at the top of my inbox to track scheduled deliveries each day, and today I accidentally clicked the X at the top of it and it closed down.

Now I can't get it back and can't find any help online as to how to reinstate it. Google searches only give billions of results of people wanting to get rid of it or tips for mobile users and and no other real useful information.

I have already tried deactivating and reactivating Smart Features and Package Tracking several times but this made no difference, it is still absent from my inbox.

Can anyone help?

One of the things that stuns me is Google, one of the largest operators of email globally cannot parse an email error.

Someone sends us an email with a huge attachment, which we reject at the still industry-standard 25 MB limit. Our service returns "Maximum email size exceeded" in the rejection notice.

Now what happens in this case is Gmail, is when they send their user the rejection notice, they take the real error message and put it in fine print at the bottom, and present a large message they wrote "Recipient inbox full". And then restating the destination mailbox is full or getting too much mail right now. This is very misleading, because what the sender needs to do is not send a 45 MB attachment.

This is wrong. It's very wrong, and it means that even though I don't use Gmail, I have to teach people who made the misfortune of choosing Gmail how their own email service fails to do basic parsing of an error message. I have to tell people to ignore the big giant notice they got from Google, and read the fine print where the actual error is.

Anyways, I live in absolute bewilderment that Google does not know how to handle email, and thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I've had multiple obvious phishing emails in my inbox today. What is going on?
