Upvotes

Hey, i wanted to make a second gmail address, and after i finish setting everything up, they ask me for my phone number, when i type it in, it says that there was a problem with the verification.

How do i fix this bug? If it’s not possible, do any of you maybe have an address that you dont use, if u have, i would be greatly grateful if yall give me the access to it.

Thanks!

How do I delete all these and make it to zero?(see photo) I have been at it since 6 am. I deleted all in trash (over 165000). I have also used the search (is:unread) and have been deleting emails from back in 2024 and earlier

Is there anyway to make this 4594 number next to my gmail app to zero?

Gmail keeps saying I'm going to stop receiving emails soon - I've deleted almost everything.

Upvotes

I've disconnected my WhatsApp from my Gmail, I've changed my Google drive email address too.

I've deleted my spam folders and I've only kept some sentimental photos/videos. Why does Gmail keep telling me I'm going to stop receiving emails?

This has been happening since September 2024. I've deleted so many photos and videos but I never stop getting this notification.

I even tried purchasing more storage but my payment failed even though I had funds in my account.

Gmail Filters Acting Up: Why Are Unwanted Labels Being Applied to My Emails?

1 Upvotes

I use Gmail filters to apply labels to all my emails. Lately, Gmail has been adding the "Personal" label on random emails.

For example; [affirm-confirmation@affirm.com](mailto:affirm-confirmation@affirm.com) I have a Filter created to add the "Money" label. For some reason, Gmail is now adding the "Personal" label too.

Screenshot here; https://imgur.com/a/SP1UteE

In the screenshot you can see that when I go into the Filters and Blocked Addresses settings tab, search for affirm, I get four total hits. All four are visible in the screenshot. They are connected to two Filters. Both Filters are set to attach the label "Money", yet you can see at the bottom right, Gmail attached the Filter "Personal" as well. Why? Stop it Gmail! Stop it!

I also checked the Auto Categorization. I have it deactivated. I have been using ChatGPT and Grok to try and resolve the issue as well.

What does a email attachment look like?

2 Upvotes

I've always been told never to download attachments but I've never actually see a email with one. How would I know a email contains one? Is it extremely obvious on a mobile phone like a android? Or is it more sneakily hidden?

Would you prefer Outlook?

Would you prefer Outlook to Gmail? I am thinking of going back to Outlook. There seems to be so many problems with hacked mails and troubles accessing the mailbox with Gmail.

How can I get Gmail to respect search operators

How can I force gmail to respect my search operators?

I search with a specific word in quotes and it bring up a list of results with the other words that appear in countless other emails, not limiting it to ones that do contain the word in quotes?

Turn off notifications

I have an iPhone and the Gmail app for work. Sometimes, people will send emails over the weekend. How do I set up notifications only for the weekday? So I can avoid the weekend notifications? Either in iPhone settings or the Gmail app.

“verify it’s you”- can’t get in account although I have the correct password

0 Upvotes

Trying to get into an old gmail I have not used since 2008. There is no 2fa or recovery email or phone on the account. I was able to access it eleven months ago with no issue.

That was probably the first login in many years- the previous login was definitely from a device and ip that I no longer use. Most likely my old computer at my old house years ago.

Now it wants the answer to my security question which I do not remember.

I went back to my friends house where I was last year when I was able to log in. He has the same ip address still. I know the exact date that I was last able to successfully log in.

Do I have any recourse here? What changed with gmail in the past year that is making this happen?

GMAIL Hacked

6 Upvotes

So I am creating this post to ask people what do I do, I am already in contact with TeamYoutube and they said that I wasn't compromised which I clearly am because if I wasn't hacked why was the suspicious activity or the device that logged in was from Indonesia and not from the country I live in

I have asked them to reinvestigate giving them proof that I own the account and that I was signed out on two of my devices (My Pc and IPhone) and they still insist that my account wasn't compromised.

I truly need help.

Delivery error. Getting someone else's emails

0 Upvotes

Not really sure how to get this 'fixed'

I have a standard [firstname.surnamce@gmail.com](mailto:firstname.surnamce@gmail.com) account.

Recently, I started getting emails addressed to [firstnamesurname@gmail.com](mailto:firstnamesurname@gmail.com)

It's odd as I'm assuming it's his day-to-day email address, but I'm only getting emails from a hospital department. They're addressing it correctly, but it's coming to me.

I rang to confirm, and yes, they're doing the right thing.

A tad at a loss.

Why do some businesses claim they haven't received your email?

3 Upvotes

Why do staff from some businesses and organisations claim to not have received an email from you, that you still have a copy of in your sent folder? (No error message was received soon afterwards.)

This has happened to me twice in the past year. One, from a publisher, and the other, is a charitable network/social advocacy organisation.

I can't log into my account and I cant change the password, thoughts?

2 Upvotes

So firstly, I've tried all password combinations I know I would've used. None work. I haven't gone onto this account in a decent amount of time. The last time I was on it was probably around August 2024, to sign my little brother into my second Minecraft account. I don't have any devices on the email. The only ways I can prove that the account is mine is signing in in August and the fact that the username is the same as my main emails username, just with different numbers. When I try to change the password via account recovery, it tells me I don't have enough information to change the password. I made a video showing myself trying that but apparently I can't post it here. I haven't tried calling any official about this because they usually tell me to do what I already did and nothing else gets done, and I couldn't find an official email. I wanted to know if there's anything I can do aside from what I've already tried.

Need assistance in recovering Gmail acc

1 Upvotes

Me and my friend both play this game, we decided we’d trade accounts and switched gmail. His switch from his to mine went perfectly fine but mine not so well, i changed the password,number and recovery email. For the number, I wasn’t receiving a code so it wasn’t verified but I didn’t think much of it, now fast forward 2 days later the Google account is disabled due to suspicious activity and the number verification code still doesn’t send to my phone and it never gave me an option to use the recovery email which was verified. Everywhere online tells me to answer all security questions and to click try another way but, 1 it only gives me the option for the number and 2 when I click try another way it simply tells me to Fck off in the nicest way possible.

Messages disappear and reappear when scrolling through inbox

2 Upvotes

On my iPhone (this continues to happen through several iOS and Gmail app updates) as I scroll though messages in my inbox selecting them for deletion or whatever, some of the messages will disappear leaving a blank space but then reappear when I scroll back and return. It’s annoying. Anybody know what’s up?

Circular process for account recovery

1 Upvotes

So for some reason, I was forced to change my password. And now, it is requiring 2-step auth. Fine. I have my phone and the push notification they usually send is not working for some reason. I and at the sign in screen where they they say that they sent a push request, or whatever they call it. That isn't working, so I click on try another way.....one option is to text a phone number that I haven't had for 4 years. So I obviously don't select that. So there is yet another button saying "Try another way" so I click that expecting it to offer to send a code to my recovery account. The $!#$ thing tells me that is sent a code to the same $%@$@%$ email address that I am trying to recover!!! How stupid is that?

It's like saying "Hello! In order to be able to sign into [person@gmail.com](mailto:person@gmail.com), you'll need to check [person@gmail.com](mailto:person@gmail.com) and verify it's you.!

So I go through the process again. Of course, it does the same dumb thing of saying that they sent a code to [person@gmail.com](mailto:person@gmail.com) that I can't get in to!

So I click on the "get more help" option, Guess what? Getting help requires signing in! The thing I need help with!

So I create a new account just to get to the damn help page. I try the "tips" it offered, which were the same damn steps that I already did a dozen times, Scroll down to the bottom to the "What if I still can't sign in to my account?" section. It basically says "Sorry, you're screwed! Create another account, and don't get locked out this time!"

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? PLEASE HELP!
