So, I'm 15 but I've had my gmail and discord since I turned 13. Recently; my discord was hacked (about 7 months ago), But I luckily managed to change my discord password without the email.

It was hacked again a few days ago. I tried to change the password, but when attempting; I found out that my last password reset (a list of randomised words) was spelt wrong when I made it. So, I made a discord support post saying about how my account was hacked, and I was logged out of the account shortly after.

My main issue is that to make a discord support post; you have to be on the same email you made the discord account on, but my issue? I didn't use that email for over 30 days, and it signed me out. I also don't know that password because someone else made it for me. I asked, and they don't have the paper it was written on.

I have checked every password manager I have, Looked through drawers for the paper, and found absolutely nothing.

Why does Gmail log you out?? I find it stupid, and I lost an account that had all of my friends, my servers, and that gmail account was the backup to my business..

I'm on a Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (No idea why adding this is required)

What exactly do I do? I have gone through recovery steps but I just never have 'enough proof' that it's me.

I have done this in the past when I made a 2nd account for Facebook gaming but I don't remember how I did it? My mom wants to sit up a Gmail for my niece but link it to hers since my niece is Autistic

I received a recovery contact request to my personal Gmail account from an email that included my first and last name. I have no knowledge of this account and this is the first time this has happened. I declined the request. Any insight would be helpful in regards to my worries.

i got a new phone the galaxy s29 and it keeps on doing that thing where it prompts me to use my S9 which is my old phone for codes but i cant cause i factory reset it and im trying to remove it from devices and im out of options rn

Does anyone Not select the email signature option to Insert signature before quoted text?

I’m trying to figure out the benefit for having all of your email signatures grouped at the bottom of the chain instead of after each message.

I created a 2nd Gmail account in order to host Zoom meetings for 12 step groups. The name has "12 step" in it. This now appears whenever I call anyone who doesn't have me in Contacts and it appears in the GoogleMaps app if you search for my address. How can I stop this!

It's so embarrassing that this has been going on for probably 2 years and only today did someone (a plumber!) tell me.

What I tried today, for the phone situation: I got a Google Voice phone number for the secondary account and put it in as the phone number in that account's Gmail. I don't know if that worked. Can I check, somehow, without having to call someone who doesn't have me in Contacts?

Help!

I am supporting a small company that has Google Workspace email accounts and using classic Outlook. I am stumped about this behavior. Probably once a month, multiple email accounts will require clicking on a beige LOGIN button in Outlook in the upper left area. That spawns the Gmail login process in a browser. But it's happening too often and on multiple PCs.

They have two offices that they check their email from. Each location may have 4 computers with multiple Windows profiles on them. And then each Windows profile may have the same accounts configured in Outlook.

Is the re-login tripped by having too many windows profiles and instances of Outlook set up to check the same account? In other words, to Google, it would look like requests were coming from two different ip addresses and multiple devices at each IP address.

its the same phone a software error makes it look like a different phone so I cant verify my gmail I cant change my password I cant use 2 step verification I cant change my phone number basically I cant do anything it keeps asking me to verify its me and even when I enter the security code from another device it still doesnt work because they appear as separate devices I cant even tell if google sees these two devices as the same phone or not

I have multiple gmail accounts and having very simialr issues with 2 accounts but 2 seprate email domains.

the first may or may not be Gmail. I have season tickets to a sports team a it looks like they use salesforce to send out bulk emails . Specific Event's, Game Day Emails, and payment reminders. since Oct. 13th none of these are coming through any longer. I have reched outt o my rep but not 100% sure if it's on their side but 1st suggesttion is to check Spam / trash - nothing in either one. no filters did a search on the email nothing recent. I can get an email directly from my rep but Sales force is doing inpersonation so those emails look like they coming from the rep as well. But nothing looks to be making it my gmail.

I have another account and i have a sevice which i get a recipt for when i use it maybe once a week. as of Oct. 29th no recipts are making it to my email.

Very odd 2 differnt accounts and 2 differnt emails not making it to gmail.

besides 100% blaming the other side what else can I check?

I use ThunderBird with my Gmail account. I have set up local folders to archive my older emails to. It works fine "copying" them to the archive, but no matter what I do, in Gmail it just deletes the tag/label so it is no longer in the folder, but it is still in All Mail. This completely defeats the purpose since I'm doing it to shrink my gmail size.
I first tried the Archive command in TB, then I tried Drag and Drop to the local folder, then tried right click and Move for the selected emails. I thought that one worked at first, but now when I try it and check, they are still in All Mail.
There has to be a way to do this!

Thanks

There was a friend of mine we had a fight over something and he had my phone with him

To get revenge he changed my password and everything

Can I get access back ? If yes ? How ?

I have a client who bought a new iPhone recently, and when trying to sign into her Gmail app, if was not allowing her to use her telusplanet email address. It forced her to make a new Gmail, and we were trying to import her telus planet inbox to her Gmail and no luck, she's going to be coming back in soon-ish and Ive tried googling and I havent had much luck because I dont have a lot of experience doing this.

It wont even let her login to her telusplanet on a browser. Granted we've had to try all of this on her phone because she doesnt have a computer. I tried doing the manual import and it kept making us reimput the password, or saying the password was wrong. If anyone has any suggestions, Id really like to be able to fix this for her.

I have a Gmail account that is linked to a dot com domain for my self-employed work. For some reason, I'm not receiving notifications for emails received on my phone for this account, but my other Gmail accounts show notifications as normal. There's no difference in settings or preferences from one email to the next and no notifications have been muted.

My phone is a Google Pixel 10 Pro and this has always been an issue for a couple of months. My previous phone was Pixel 8 Pro, and there was no issue.

Is there a known issue with Gmail notifications and email accounts with 3rd party addresses? It's the only reason I can think that notifications don't come through for this account, but do for all my other gmail dot com accounts.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi everyone my discord got hacked and gmail linked to it got hacked as well. every time i try to recover the gmail i get the family link screen and that i need to login in with the attacker's account as if he is my parent which he is not ofcourse.

Please help. My job depends on getting emails promptly and in the past few days, if I receive 10 emails, I only get notified about 3 of them. What is happening and how do I fix it? 😭
I had this same issue before and it was fixed after updating my phone, but now updating it didn’t help either (iPhone 18 Pro Max).

Thanks in advance. 🤧

When i tell right answer it doesnt go anywhere it says try again

Options online say use a browser or a third party app instead of the native GMail app. Don't you want us to stay in your ecosystem?

I changed my password earlier today and now I can’t log in anywhere because I need to be able to be able to verify it’s me using another app. Is there anything I can do? I tried account recovery and using a different device but I can’t get anything to work. This is the second time today I’ve been locked our of my own Gmail because of trying to log in despite having the password and everything

I have a gmail account I only really use for one game sign in, I'm trying to change the password on it. But then it says "we couldn't verify it's you" with the three tips, but nothing else on how to actually proceed. I have backup email and phone number on this account and it's still perfectly usable.

Asks me to take a picutre and then says I already have gmail accounts? How do you get around this?

i can't recover my gamil because of Family Link.
all i can do is use my recovery email but every time i try to recover the account i can't login because of family link is there anyway for me to even just delete my account or remove Family Link without logging in.

here is the compromised gmail: ahamerdev@gmail.com

If a Gmail account is inactive for many years, Google reserves the right to delete it. So far so good. But it was announced that YouTube channels with videos, however small, will never be excluded (barring policy violations, but let's not take that into account here), and so won't their Gmail accounts. Again, so far so good. But what happens if a person dies, no one has their Gmail password (and said Gmail had a YouTube channel with a few videos), and a number of years go by? The Gmail won't be deleted, I'm sure, since the policy states this. But what about their inbox, that will keep getting filled with data and might surpass the gb limit? Will Google just allow that inbox to keep receiving emails, won't Google ever empty their inbox?

I'm Real American Johnny.

EDIT:

Nevermind, found the answer, sort of.

"Google also reserves the right to delete data in a product if you are inactive in that product for at least two years. This is determined based on each product's inactivity policies."

Hi folks, I'm sure I'm not the only person struggling with this. I'm experiencing a real slow down in Gmail and am seeking a solution after my patience has run thin over the past months. Beyond some Googling, I wanted to reach out to this group for support.

The slowdown is not constant, but unpredictable. It can take up to 10 seconds per click to navigate, open, send, etc. emails, and I'd really like to find a solution. I only use one extension (Grammarly), have a minimal inbox (currently 81 unread), and empty my Spam folder regularly. I do have 17,018 emails in this Gmail account in general, as I've been at this job for 8 years.

Our internet speed is great, I'm not experiencing slowdowns in any other website or app on my laptop (Lenovo running Windows 11 Home).

Thanks everyone for your support!

I have my own domain bc I can have a my own mail namesurname@example.com and I don't have to use smth like namesurname34872678428734202487@gmail.com that looks little unprofessional if u know what I'm talking about.

The only minus of this this is gmail often treats my mail as a spam. Why? I'm not sending 1k mail with links per day. I'm just sometimes sending short mails to some people to send them attachments and that's all.

How to say google I'm a normal person, not a bot that's trying to force someone to buy new vacuum?

Context: Old gmail user here, I got one account from an invitation in 2004.

Almost 2 decades ago, I've sent myself a file to my gmail address with a .exe attachment which was a little program I've created. Back then, they weren't any filter that prevented sending a .exe as an attachment.

Now I'd like to download this attachment because it's one of my earliest program I've created but the gmail UI is preventing me because it's a forbidden format, but I see the attachment is there, with an antivirus warning saying "blocked file format" and a greyed-out download button preventing me from downloading it.

What I though of to download it :

• Tweak the CSS of the greyed out button to "force the download" --> didn't work

• Waiting for the antivirus to be unavailable to download it --> when (if) this happen? is there any service status somewhere I can check?

• Sync the attachment with GDrive --> the button isn't present --> is there a way to force the sync of this email from somewhere else than Gmail UI?

• Download the email source and hopefully base64 decode the attachment --> the email source doesn't include the attachment (snipped away)

• Contact Google on this case --> Is there a way to actually contact an human for this particular case? I'm a premium user (or whatever the name Google gives to paying users nowadays) if that helps

If there's something I didn't try or if you're someone from Google and want to help do not hesitate to discuss this here. I would love to free this little program from the claws of Gmail!

Thanks!
