  @Warmy_io Yes, IMAP clearly became the better choice for multi-device synchronization, but that doesn't mean POP3 was a bad solution. In some environments, retrieving emails directly was actually more predictable and reliable than relying on simple server-side forwarding to Gmail, with all the filtering, blocking, or delivery issues that can come with it. That said, modern tools have also made these scenarios much easier to manage, which is why IMAP is now the preferred solution for most users.

  🚨 BREAKING: Your boss can now dig through EVERYTHING on your work laptop… even your private emails, late-night chats, and personal files. A Kenyan employee thought she was safe. She logged into her personal Gmail on the company computer. She sent private messages. She stored personal stuff. Then performance problems hit. The company seized the laptop. They opened it. They read through her personal email. She cried privacy violation. Constitutional rights. Article 31. The court looked at her… and said NO. “Your computer belongs to the employer. You used it for personal business at your own risk. No expectation of privacy.” Boom. Case dismissed. Employers just got a green light to inspect work devices, even when you’re mixing private life with company property. One wrong login… and your secrets can become evidence. It feels extreme.

  @Google I have a complaint. Many times, if not all the time, when I click links inside of @gmail , I've noticed that it does not go directly to the link address. It does a Google search for the link address. This is usually not an issue, though I wonder why you guys do this.

  @sholard_mancity simply log out and do not stay logged in. or immediately access gmail from elsewhere and "log out of all devices". the emails were not in her laptop, but in the cloud. so, the issue is remaining logged in on the work laptop. what is so hard about this?

  As many of you do, I have an email problem. Things seemed pretty manageable when I first started getting emails, in 1985 or so. In the 1990's things ramped up, but I kept my email account more-or-less organized and got replies out and old emails sorted into about ten folders. In 2004 I archived these and switched over to Gmail (with my first gmail (about Clifford Algebras) from Mike Rios). Then, in 2007... newspapers and magazines decided I was interesting, I got an excited message from my friend Rich about web server overload, and my Inbox exploded. I was barely able to keep up with reading it, and thought I'd eventually be able to reply to all of it, but... it rapidly attained Inbox escape velocity and I was never able to catch up with it -- I couldn't even sort all of it. In the 2020's things finally tapered down, but now instead of fan and physicist mail I kept getting billing and marketing emails. It seemed like every time I'd buy a taco I would end up on that company's email list. I would religiously unsubscribe, but my Inbox was still pandemonium and barely usable. As of last Friday, I had 391,818 emails, mostly sorted into about thirty folders (now called "labels" in Gmail) but with 84,732 in my Inbox, with the oldest dating back to the beginning of the 2007 wave. I probably sorted 100k by hand over the years, as well as using a bunch of filters, and kept looking for intelligent tools for sorting, but there was nothing good... until now. On Friday I had Claude Code (with Fable) tackle the problem. It installed some python tools, I gave it access, and we attacked the Inbox together (being careful about prompt injection attacks). It would give short summaries of the personal email, bunch up the company email, and make its guesses at which of 38 labels they should get sorted into; I would rapidly review these and approve or make sorting changes, and it would sweep them. By Sunday we were done, and I went for a bike ride.

  How @Google gets away with this blows my mind. “Hey, sign into your Gmail account or it’s deleted it been 2 years.” Also Google, “Hey, yeah we did tell you to sign in or we’ll delete the email, but even though it’s been 2 years and you used the correct password, we expect you to use the same exact device or location. So your emails being deleted!”

  Dear @TeamYouTube , I am the legitimate owner of a monetized YouTube channel that is currently associated with a Google/Gmail account that I can no longer access. The problem is related to 2-Step Verification. I have access to the phone number linked to the original Google Account and I receive the OTP on my mobile number. However, after entering the phone OTP, Google sends another verification code to the same Gmail account that I am trying to recover. Since I cannot access that Gmail account, I am unable to complete the recovery process. My YouTube channel and AdSense account are still active, and my payments are being received regularly. However, without access to the original Google Account, I cannot properly manage my YouTube channel and related account settings. I respectfully request that YouTube Support help me transfer my YouTube channel to my new Google Account, which I have full access to. If the associated AdSense account also requires a separate process, please guide me through the official procedure to ensure that my monetization and payment information remain secure and uninterrupted. I am willing to provide any information necessary to verify my ownership of the channel and AdSense account. If this case needs to be handled by a specialist team, please kindly escalate it to the appropriate team or provide me with access to the correct official support form. Thank you very much for your help. Kind regards, Vipul Manik Shinde

  All the security stuff is getting ridiculous to the point where it affects the user experience. Because I work with client i have to manage multiple Google accounts and many other accounts too, and Google is the most complicated. Because I have my phone number added to many business accounts, I cannot add it to a new Google account I create. On top of that, creating a new Gmail/google account is not as it used to be. I like to keep things separate, and the way I do is create a dedicated Gmail account for certain things. Like, if I wanna start a YouTube channel, I will create a new Gmail account, or if I wanna start selling a new service, I will make a new Gmail. Same problem with Instagram: it's hard to create a new account because every time I wanna experiment with something new or I make a product i want an Instagram for it, and Meta does not make it easy to create an account.

  Uki✨🤎 | TheExecutiveVA (@DeborahAyine) reported 30 minutes ago

  Your executive inbox is not a to-do list. Virtual Assistants come closer... Here is how I would manage a busy Gmail inbox: 1. Create labels: Action, Waiting, Reference, Finance, Clients. 2. Use stars for emails that need follow-up. 3. Archive anything that does not require action. 4. Snooze emails that need attention later. 5. Create filters for repetitive emails. 6. Check the inbox in batches instead of reacting to every notification. The goal is not an empty inbox. The goal is knowing exactly what needs attention. In my next posts, I will explain step by step how you can do these actions I mentioned here; I will break them down one by one. So watch out for my next posts.

  Excited for the launch of Grok Bot! I’ve been using it for the last few weeks. Some of my favorite things my Bots have done so far: - Found receipts in Gmail, filed my expenses in Ramp, and kept checking them until they were approved - Planned travel based on my preferences and loyalty accounts, figured out when I needed to leave, and updated my calendar - Coordinated with each other through a Chief of Staff Bot that only pings me when something actually needs my input - Traced issues with an internal tool through logs, triaged bugs and regressions, raised PRs, and let me know when they were ready for review . Looking forward to continuing to find new ways to put my Bots to work. Check out the comments for a link to try @bot. @SpaceXAI

  @HustleBitch_ ARPANET being a DARPA project is not a conspiracy. It's in the history textbooks. What isn't: that it was built as a honeypot so every Gmail/Facebook click would train a giant AI "since the Reagan era," or that the wrong words summon a black SUV. Resource-sharing network in 1969 ≠ commercial surveillance in 2026. Those are real, separate problems (ads, data collection, actual warrantless programs). Mashing them into one Tesla-Grok jump scare is how you stop being able to talk about the real ones.

  one of the domains in your cold email setup is carrying other people's spam complaints. it's the tracking domain, and your own reporting will never show it. the shared tracking domain your sending platform hands you by default sits on every other customer's links too, so their spam complaints ride into your emails on the same wrapper. your own sending looks clean the whole time. that's step 4 of 8. @Kenny_GTM sets up the cold email infrastructure on every client account we run. we've sent 23M+ cold emails across those campaigns. here's his full build order: 1/ domains buy 10 to 15 for a launch build, 20 for the full spec, all close variations of your brand. keep the primary domain out of the sending path. burning a sending domain is routine and survivable. burning the one your contracts and invoices go through means you spend months repairing your company's email rather than a campaign. 2/ mailboxes run 2 or 3 per domain and never more. past that the domain reads as a sending farm. split the estate 50/50 between google workspace and microsoft 365, because the two filter on different rules. put everything on one provider and one bad filtering week hits all of your capacity instead of half of it. 3/ dns SPF, DKIM and DMARC go on every domain before any mailbox sends, warm-up included. weak copy costs you reply rate over weeks. a domain with no authentication gets flagged on the first send, before anyone opens the email. you read it as a bounce rate that stays high no matter what you change in the copy. 4/ tracking domain the one from the top of this post. teams skip it more than any other step, and skipping it undoes steps 1 through 3. one subdomain you own, configured per sending account. 5/ platform instantly handles pure email. lemlist earns its place when linkedin matters. smartlead comes in when the client brings it. connect every mailbox before warm-up so the platform builds the sending history for you. 6/ rotation and warm-up mailbox rotation goes on from day one so sends spread across the estate. every mailbox then gets 2 weeks minimum before it touches a campaign, and 30 days is the safer number now that gmail puts a warning banner on domains younger than that. cut it short and the failure only surfaces after the campaign is live and the domain is already marked, and warm-up won't repair it from there. you replace the domain and start over. 7/ send limits cap each mailbox at 20 to 25 sends a day. volume comes from mailbox count. 40 mailboxes at that rate sends 800 to 1,000 a day and none of them looks unusual. set the cap inside the platform itself. 8/ placement clear 95%+ in the primary inbox before the first real campaign. anything sitting in spam produces no pipeline at all. if you're running this spec and landing well under 95%, the cause is back in steps 1 through 6. domains get replaced every 9 to 12 months. stagger the replacements, because rotating all 20 at once puts the whole estate back to zero and every new domain still owes you its two weeks of warm-up. the two numbers that break first: > spam rate above 0.1% > bounce rate above 3% both shift weeks before reply rate does. by the time reply rate drops, the damage is a few weeks old and the domain is usually past repairing. all of that is phase 1. phase 2 is data and targeting, phase 3 is the copy. most teams start at phase 3 in week 1, which is why they spend the next month debugging subject lines for a domain problem. you just read phase 1. @Kenny_GTM wrote all three, plus the ten-line weekly dashboard and the numbers that mean you already have a problem. follow him if cold email is a channel you depend on.
