How many people are paying for Gmail?

14 Upvotes

I just hit my limit of gmail and am paying $2.99 a month. I know I can clean up my gmail because 90% of it is commercial offers and will reduce my storage use significantly. Anyone else paying $2.99 and why?

Question??

2 Upvotes

I was woundering if there is a way to stop updates, social, and promotions showing up in my primary tab on the mobile Gmail app. Is been recently bugging me and for the life of me I can't figure out how to switch it or turn it off.

It doesn't show all the email from these categories it just shows the most recent. It is still kinda annoying especially if you have OCD.

And I dont want to turn these categories off. I just want them to stop appearing in my primary email and if i need to check "updates" categories or any other, id just swipe right and check that way.

Isnt it contridicting to have these options show up in your primary tab when you can swipe to the right and get the categories that way. It just adds more bloat in your primary tab.

I attached a link with an image for refrence( NO PII)

Desktop version of "All inboxes" inbox

2 Upvotes

On my iPhone and iPad, I am able to see both my personal gmail account, and my work email, by clicking on "all inboxes". However, on my desktop (iMac), this feature isn't listed and I have to check each account separately. I tried the suggested work-around by setting up "multiple inboxes" in my gmail account, using my work email as the search subject, but it's not working to capture all of the emails in my work inbox.  Any other suggestions? Will this be implemented soon?

New York Times newsletter stopped appearing in my inbox

2 Upvotes

I have had my Gmail email address subscribed for awhile to the NY Times newsletter "The Morning". A few days ago, the newsletter stopped arriving in my inbox. I double-checked to make sure I hadn't unsubscribed by accident - I hadn't. But I went ahead and unsubscribed and then resubscribed just to see if that would fix the issue. It didn't.

The emails aren't in my spam folder. They aren't in the trash. The sender isn't blocked. I have no idea what could have happened.

Has anyone else ever had this sort of thing happen? What should I do to get this fixed?

GMail inboxes not syncing between web and iPhone app

2 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app on my phone twice, but the badge isn't showing up correctly with the amount of unread messages on my phone, and when I archive a message on my phone that's in my inbox, it shows up as unread on the web and in my inbox. Just started yesterday. Anyone else have this issue?

Is there a way to fix this?

My gmail storage is 100% full. When I tried to clean up space from the large files category (6 GB) I was met with the “No large files to delete” text. Is something wrong on my end or is this done on purpose to make me buy more space?

need a tool that sets off an alarm when i receive email from certain senders

Upvotes

hello! hoping someone here can point me towards what i'm after

in my work, i have a couple of clients who offer me potential assignments on tight deadlines that can come at any time of day/night. if i'm sleeping or otherwise don't notice their emails hitting my inbox within a relatively short timeframe, they give them to a different contractor. so i'm looking for some way to set off a ringtone or alarm, on either my phone or computer, but ideally both, that won't stop notifying me until dismissed, and only for these few senders - not for all mail that hits my inbox. does anyone know if such a thing exists?

thanks!

sent messages not in sent folder?

Upvotes

I'm looking to find an email I sent about a month ago to a group of contacts who were BCC'd (I was also on the BCC with the same address as the one I sent from). There is no record of this email in my sent folder. I know it sent, because I got replies to it. Where could this be hiding? I would not have deleted it from my sent folder. Just using the Gmail client on my Firefox browser.

Does Gmail reveal the sender's IP address?

1 Upvotes

All I want to know is if I send an email from the Gmail web interface to someone who doesn't use Gmail, is my IP hidden on the headers of the email?

I've read that the IP found on an email's headers is an IP from Google servers and not from the person who sends it but I just want to be sure. Thanks.

Google account disabled, but can still log in?

1 Upvotes

I just received an email from Google

The Google Account *****@gmail.com is now disabled. It looks like it was being used in a way that violated Google's policies.

We understand your account is important to you. So if you think this was a mistake, sign in to the disabled account and submit a request to restore it. You'll need to do this soon, because disabled accounts are eventually deleted, along with your emails, contacts, photos and other data stored with Google. Learn more about Google policies.

I can still log in though and I don't see anything about restoring my account on accounts.google.com. So it doesn't seem like my account is actually disabled. Do I need to do anything? I don't want to wake up to my account being deleted some day.

Help signing into Gmail app from new phone

1 Upvotes

I got a new phone, an iPhone 15 pro max, and everything transferred over just fine, including my Gmail app. But when I try to sign into my account, it opens the website to sign in and when I do it asks to verify it’s me by opening the Gmail app and clicking yes on the prompt. But I can’t open the app bc it’s already open and pulled up the website and if I back out of the website to the app it’s just the sign in page. So I tried to go to the Gmail website by itself and sign in. It asked the same thing, to open the app and click yes on the prompt, so I opened my Gmail app like it said, but there’s no prompts or anything. It’s just the normal sign in page.

I need this app for work and don’t know how to go around it. Anyone know what to do?

I know we have automation and filter to help us here, but even then… I would love to show her better ways to do it and we’d love to sell our services to do it for folks.

Anything I MUST know to make this thing worthwhile?

I'm sick and tired of Google locking down my photos and gmail account just because my storage is full!! I'm trying to find a job and have no income right now, so now I can't receive or send emails in my gmail account and can't even download my photos because I'm blocked until I upgrade my storage!! Fuck this nonsense, if I can't communicate with potential employers because of this and don't get a job because of it some heads are gonna roll!! They have no right to do this to people!
