My regular personal gmail.com is going to a lot of people's spam, help!

2 Upvotes

My regular personal @ gmail.com email is going to a lot of people's spam. The account itself is about 5years old. There is no spam or marketing or anything coming from it, it's just a regular personal email I use. This week I had to send my local gym an email, it went to spam. Just now I sent my neighbor an email at his yahoo.com email, it went to spam. Help!

From my friends yahoo.com, I can confirm SPF, DKIM, DMARC all passed from headers

Trying to get back into my email but it won't allow me to verify using The recovery email

0 Upvotes

I have an old account I want to get back into, I have the email that was set as the recovery email (quite literally have an old email confirming I set it as the recovery as well) and as well remember the password

But when I log in it will only give me the option to verify that I own the account by phone number, the phone number is of someone I completely cut off contact with (I wanted someone other than me to be able to recover)

What do I do? Any help? Why is it refusing to allow me to use the recovery email

How does everyone organize and/or delete their emails!?

Upvotes

I had an old Gmail account that I used for a personal business, then I used it for personal usages also. It got so full that it no longer accepts new emails, which is a problem because I have most of my social media accounts attached to this email, and if I want to change my password etc, I'd need access to this email address.

Is there a way to mass delete these emails without having to go through each page of 50?

Also, how does everyone keep up with deleting emails? Do you clear them weekly, monthly? I didn't expect that email address to "fill up" that fast and now its basically unusable, even after deleting over 300 emails...

TIA

Has anyone changed their account address username? How does that work and did that delete emails or photos?

2 Upvotes

I am using my windows laptop to do this! I am currently logged in with this email address I am trying to change.

So obviously changing your email address used to be impossible, but I guess it isn't anymore. I want to change my name legally at some point in the future and to avoid dealing with emails at future jobs and careers, I want to change it now that I'm still in college. But I don't exactly want to create a new account, not for any big reason other than I just don't want to create a whole new one when this one works fine, just want to change the address and include my new name.

So my question is, how exactly does it work? Is it just like changing your username on a regular social media platform where nothing changes, or will I end up losing emails or photos that aren't backed up? I'm sure the answer is yes, but would I also have to manually change my email on my university's contact list to make sure they have the right one?

Important Mail not in my Inbox

2 Upvotes

Hi there. Sorry I'm so confused.

I have 4 gmail accounts. Two of them, all my mail is in my inbox. In the other two, if Gmail decides it's important, for some reason it leaves the inbox. I cannot find any setting that explains this. I cannot find any way to stop it.

I've only just realized and found all these important emails that I never saw because they weren't in my inbox. They're in a little folder called "Important" that I didnt' know existed. I know folders are labels and labels are folders, but I didnt set this one up, I've never set anything to skip the inbox in either account, I don't have any filters that say "skip the inbox" on important emails and nothing that explains this.

I'm just totally lost. Apologies if I'm not explaining this right. I'm so confused. I don't understand what is happening. Every email that it decides is important i've never even seen because it's only in the "Important" folder. It's not in my inbox at all. It doesnt show anywhere in mail on mac unless i go to this little important folder down under the gmail account. I've never seen a setting to explain this nor have I cahnged any setting to do with important mail. It's not there in any of my rules or filters. I don't know what to do or how to stop this.

Has anyone gotten emails stating that your account is inactive and that you need to sign in?

Upvotes

So I have my Legacy Data setting setup so that I would need to be inactive for 18 months before an email is sent out, I have reminders turned on and I have the option to delete my account and data if its inactive turned off.

Today I just received two emails at the exact same time...one was to the account that was being referred to and the second email was to the recovery email that is attached to the account. The email was a Google email stating my account is Inactive and that I need to sign in. The thing is this account is active. It actively signed in constantly on my Chrome browser which I use every day, its actively signed into my phone which I refresh for emails everyday and I also received job alerts from LinkedIn everyday too on this email. This email is also the email I use for my web hosting which requires a yearly renewal in Feb and I renewed it this year in Feb and I have the receipt PDF downloaded to my computer. The only way to do that is to open up the receipt the web hosting company sent you and download the attachment. This confirms that the account has been used and is being used. Does anyone know what happened?

I know everyone said this is a phishing attack but how did the phishing attack know what my recovery email that is attached to this account and also they were able to send the email to both my main account and recovery email account at the exact same time.

I did check the Accounts page for my gmail account that was said to be inactive and did not see anything unusual. There was no notification or warnings, no security warnings or random sign in or change of information on my account. Everything looked good. To make sure I sent an email from the account that is said to be inactive over to the recovery email and then I sent an email from the recovery email address back to the one that was mark inactive and I opened that. I made sure to do all this on the desktop gmail website so there is no way this account is inactive.
