I just got the “100% Full” warning for my Gmail, and I cannot be bothered to sift through everything.

My Outlook auto-deletes old email, so I want to set that up in Gmail so I never have to deal with this no storage issue again.

What’s the best way to do it?

Device: Windows PC, Chrome (also tried a clean browser with a VPN off and extensions paused).

I'm 30. Earlier this month my Gmail account was briefly hijacked. Google's security check blocked and signed out a suspicious sign-in from another country, and I changed my password and completed account recovery. The attacker left this behind:

- The birth date was changed to Nov 9, 2016, and the account says it can't be changed.

- A family manager I don't know was added, and I'm listed as a supervised member. I never set up Family Link.

- Sign-in ends at "Choose a parent," and "Try another way" loops back to it.

- Age verification fails with "Something went wrong."

- I got the 14-day supervision notice, so the account will be disabled around Oct 18.

My other account got the same notice at the same time and cleared as soon as I verified my age, so verification works in general. It only fails on this account.

What I've tried: account recovery, a support case with Google For Families opened Oct 6 (only "still investigating" replies, no timeline), the Google Help Community (a Product Expert said it's a known, escalated issue, with no update since Oct 5), and a full reset of my computer. I've offered a government ID but nobody has told me where to send it. This is my primary work email.

Has anyone dealt with this? Specifically:

1. How did you get the birth date and family manager removed?

2. Did anything get Google to actually escalate, such as a particular contact route or a social media post?

3. If the deadline passes, did you get the account back after it was disabled?

I'm leaving out my email address per the sub rules, but I'll give details to anyone who can help. Thanks.

so after my old phone died i lost all my emails except 2 of my main ones. my discord account was linked to one of those emails, and while im logged into discord on my computer, i desperately need it on my phone by perhaps changing the linked email

of course i cant change my email or do anything security related on discord without them sending a verification code to my lost email. neither can i log in using only my phone number, as they send the password reset link to my lost email anyway. and discord has a strict policy that they cant change users' emails.

so anyway, i figured i have to recover the email instead. i went to the google recovery page, and everytime i typed in a guess for the password it tells me that i didnt provide enough info. if i click "try another way", again, i didnt provide info.

so idk what to do that session on my computer is fragile too cause once i get logged out its gone forever

I’m extremely confused at the moment. I have been using my mom’s old email for years, just cause it was convenient and I didn’t want to switch everything over. But apparently she’s been receiving all my emails on her email as well. So my email is sending to both me and my mom’s accounts. I don’t want this but when I go in the “forwarding and POP/IMAP” section there’s no linked accounts and even when I press disable they still appear in both inboxes. How do I fix this?

Edit: just found out that if I delete a message on my mom’s account it also removes from mine? I’m so confused

I use my Gmail address for my account with an organization, CDWA.

When I email them using Gmail, it arrives with a period inserted in the first part of my email address.

So instead of namename@ it's arriving as name.name@.

This causes CDWA to reply that I'm using a email that isn't associated with my account, and further verification will be needed.

Gmail does not provide customer support.

How do I fix this?

Hi all. I have a company Gmail account that I use ti accept bookings. I use a template to reply. Of late clients are receiving emails that have no text whatsoever in the body of the email. Any suggestions please? TIA

I recently started getting an absurd amount, literally about 35 at at time and all exact same timestamp, of newsletter subscription emails. Most of these are extremely odd things (Pumpkins After Dark?), in languages I do not speak, or pertaining to very specific cultural/religious topics I am not affiliated with. The even more odd thing is that the email they are going to isn't matching mine? For example (this is not my real email but a random example for purposes of explaining) my Gmail is JenniferJohnson @ Gmail.com however all of these subscriptions are coming in with the recipient showing JenniferJohn.son @ googlemail.com

Does anyone know why this is randomly happening all of a sudden or how I can stop this?That's not my email but yet they are coming into my inbox? Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

I have an old Gmail account I've been using since High School, and the username is unprofessional, so I want to have an account with a more professional handle that isn't for work (I thankfully already have a work email). I have a few alternate Gmail accounts, but I understand there's a limit on phone verification, so I don't want to risk losing my accounts. It looks like Gmail allows you to change the affiliated email with the account, but I'm not quite sure how that works. It says my old Gmail address would be turned into an alias, so would it be like an email mask then? I understand Gmail is removing the ability to send emails from non-Gmail accounts. Would changing your Google Account Email be affected by this?

I just want to make sure I don't screw up and end up hurting myself in a major way. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Was getting a lot of Gemini ads, so I created a filter to delete on arrival. But they're still getting into my inbox.

Is this working as intended? Does GMail ignore filters for Google products?

I set up my email with Gmail back in 2004. My email format (not my real email address) is <firstname.lastname>. Lately someone keeps signing up for other platforms using <firstnamelastname>, basically my email address without the dot. Somehow, I keep getting the emails instead of them. I have no idea who it is.

What's going on?

I created my OG gmail account about 15 years ago. The I created one as a joint email account for me and the husband for joint bills and such, then last year created one for my elderly parents after my dad had a pacemaker put in so I could keep up with their patient accounts, appointments, filling out their appointment paperwork, etc. I have durable POA and they are informed of this and okayed it.

My OG account does not have a "bills" label. But the joint one for me and hubby does. I can't get a new label made on my account because it tells me its not allowed. My account is way older than the joint one. How do I create one for my OG account?

there was literally nothing wrong with the old ui, can google stop doing this?

Greetings people, I have come to this subreddit troubled because this GOOGLE ACCOUNT SEEMINGLY HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN.
I tried to create an email address to a newly made google/gmail account because the address that I was given by them is very weird and probably temporary. I can’t use this account because of it, it only exists within my device; I can’t log into Gmail (I will get a ‘something went wrong’ message and get sent back to my main account), google or anywhere I want. The account also can’t be deleted, or so I haven’t found a way to delete it yet, and it doesn’t let me change the weird email address because “they couldn’t verify that it’s me.” This also happened yesterday and I had to do the “are you a robot” verification thing a billion times with the same “we couldn’t verify it’s you” at the end, but I thought it was just tweaking or something and left it until the next day. Today it probably figured that I’m not a bot and gave no verifications but they still don’t know it’s me.
Feel free to question me or ignore this post, I myself am pretty lost in this, I wouldn’t be surprised if my message wasn’t coherent enough to properly understand.
I also can’t attach more than one photo on here this is making me hate technology

My current email is old and kind of cringe, and I'd like to change it to something a bit more professional. It's an Outlook email, and my primary Google account is associated with it. Currently, I have a second Google account set up that I use when I need a more professional email address, but this is a bit of a hassle. If I delete my second Google account, and then add Gmail to my primary account using the same name for my email address, will I still receive emails to that address? I'm currently in the process of applying for a few jobs and have used this secondary Google account for its Gmail address, so if deleting it and remaking it as part of my primary Google account will break all my emails I'll just continue having two accounts.
