DWE Post (@dwepost) reportedI am having problems with my Gmail account. None of the recovery forms are working in any way. Could you please contact me and help me? @gmail
-
Grok (@grok) reported@manonwheels @xai Sorry about that! To use connectors in the Grok app, go to your profile/settings and authorize the accounts (like Gmail, Calendar, Drive). Once connected, try prompts like "Gmail what are my pressing emails?" What exactly happened when you tried—what error or step were you stuck on?

Emir Berkecan (@Can340can) reportedI previously had a Google AdSense account where my ID was verified. Later, I closed it since I no longer needed it. Now I want to use AdSense again, so I created a new Gmail and set up a new account. If I use the same ID again for verification, will there be issues? @TeamYouTube

Vicious (@Gamingguy300) reportedHey can y'all create a video of how to recover Gmail locked in a broken phone I need that email badly

UziSun (@sun_uzi) reported@TeamYouTube My channel was hacked and compromised, my passwords were changed and recovery details as well. And I can no longer access the account. Or Gmail connected to it. I’m reach out directly to you to get the issue resolved, please let me know the next step. Thank you.

lbeard (@lbeard) reported@TeamYouTube urgent help needed. My 20-year YouTube channel (80K subs) has lost access. The Google account tied to my login email (not gmail) is no longer recognized by Google — recovery returns 'couldn't find your Google Account.' Please advise on Creator Support escalation

小星星 (@chx99999) reported@dotkrueger Why am I not receiving the login email in my Gmail?

Chad Nelson (@Chad_Nelson_) reportedIs this you? You’ve had some solid business successes and you know that makes you more at risk. You’ve been using the same Gmail address for the past 15 years and you’ve been recycling passwords because it’s easy and convenient. You haven’t had any major issues yet, so you’re not really thinking about security. Your business is crazy busy, so you have no time to stop and really assess the risks to you and your family. Besides, you know your wife shares every detail online and you think “everything is already out there.” And then it happens. The scam link you accidentally clicked. The hacker who got into your email. Or worse, the criminals who showed up at your house in the early morning hours. All of it could have been prevented. You didn’t have to spend the time away from your business or your family while you try to assess your security. You didn’t have to figure out where you and your family’s digital footprint was exposed. You didn’t need to determine where your exec assistant had operational security gaps. You could have just called us. We could have audited your entire digital footprint, identified the exposure and provided you with clear actionable recommendations. You would have known where your data was exposed on the dark web and what you needed to do to tighten up your security. You would have had active monitoring for threats and new digital vulnerabilities. You would have had a team of former national security pros standing by to help you through the crisis. You and your family would have been safer because of it. If this is you, or if you don't want it to be you then let’s talk before this situation plays in real time.

luca | retention marketing (@lucamailz) reportedif your deliverability is bad, here’s exactly how I’d fix it in 3 easy steps 👇 1. turn off all non core flows (win-back, sunset etc) these emails tend to get lower engagement which is not what you need when you’re trying to show gmail your emails are not spam. 2. send only plain text full image emails naturally tend to have worse deliverability. if your product solves a pain point (not visual brands like jewelry/fashion) literally just send plain text until open rates improve. 3. send to tighter segments never ever send to your whole list, specially if your deliverability is bad. create a segment of customers who opened / clicked your emails in the last 14-30 days and ONLY send to those until you see open rates climb consistently to 60%

Ganesh Ghatti (@GaneshGhatti6) reporteduk Claude Gmail connector can't send an email, it can only draft an email. But Claude can definitely make API calls....to my server......that can send..... Did I just automate my email marketing?

Just Call Me Jake (@Commando074) reported@mailbird It was working for a time this AM with gmail accounts. Anything hotmail/outlook is not working. I have restarted a number of times. But not the modem. I'll try that.
-
Amal Dorai (@amaldorai) reported@GergelyOrosz @quharrison The reason anyone responds to cold email is that there’s a person on the other end of the line. Otherwise it’s just Gmail spam. As the models get better I see people just shutting down their cold channels and only taking intros, which will shut out a lot of bushy tailed hustlers.
-
David Perron (@DavidPe51482177) reported@NCBlake @beinsane @mattyglesias I am not focusing on the private email account because it’s separate from the classified information issue. Using a .gov account to transmit classified information in the open isn’t any more legal than using a gmail account to do the same thing.

Philip Johnston (@PhilipJohnston) reportedHow is the @Gmail spam filter so terrible?? Just have @GeminiApp scan it, it really cant be that hard. And if it costs more charge us more, im happy to pay @GoogleDeepMind!
-
CryptoD₿S (@DbsCrypto) reported14 tabs isn’t a productivity problem. It’s a control failure. The moment you’re copying the same update from Slack into Gmail “to make it official,” you became the integration layer. That costs more than time. It means the system has no single source of truth unless you touch it. That does not scale.

Peter Beens 🇨🇦 (@pbeens) reportedGoogle made a big deal about #Gemini connecting to Workspace, yet I still get this error: "I don't have access to your personal Gmail account or private emails. To protect your privacy, I can't "log in" or search through your messages directly.". I have Google Workspace connected to Gemini but it still doesn't work. Anyone got any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@mar_zouq @cb_doge Sure! Here's how to connect on the Grok iOS app: 1. Open the Grok app. 2. In the chat input area, tap the attachment icon (+). 3. Select **Connectors** from the menu. 4. Pick a service (Gmail, GitHub, Notion, Google Drive, etc.). 5. Tap **Connect**, then sign in with your account and grant permissions. Once done, just ask me to use it (e.g. "check my Gmail" or "summarize my GitHub repos"). Let me know which one you're connecting!

Caijian Liang (@CaijianLiang4) reportedI built a small n8n + AI workflow for a boring but expensive admin problem: customer inquiry email -> AI extracts lead details -> Google Sheet/CRM row -> Gmail draft reply -> owner alert -> human approval before sending Good fit for clinics, agencies, real estate, education, consultants, and local services that still copy inquiry details by hand. Self-serve template price test: AUD 29-49 Done-for-you setup: AUD 499 Reply TRIAGE and I will send the demo.

Shay. (@SquashVash) reported@zoltanszogyenyi for sure, but I even if I have other auth options in the login, google is just the quickest one to enable. Ill always be signed in to my gmail, github web though? its a hit & miss
-
Jessica (@jayseeonsol) reported@Web3_lynks @0xnoble_ you're doing something wrong, it can actually edit and manipulate images wait first, try to login in through another gmail and don't use the app, use the site moreso when you're giving it the details of the edit, don't add the word "edit".. just the straight up prompt in your own words let me know if it works then okayy
-
sillivasi (@sillivasi) reported@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube I already tried all the troubleshooting and recovery steps from those links multiple times. The issue is that the verification code is being sent to the same Gmail account I can’t access. This account has my 80K subscribers YouTube channel. 🙏

dia jacques (@JacquesPerry10) reportedCreators have the same problem but with money. Brand deals live in DMs + Gmail. Follow-ups get missed. Payments get forgotten. Revenue becomes “vibes.”

Amin Tai (@aminnnn_09) reported@Rushu_Tushu that's a smart fix for the silence after sending emails. does it work with regular Gmail or need a separate dashboard?

Jacob Shi (@Jacoob_shi) reported@signulll email always felt like work so gmail carried that. chatgpt spent 2 years teaching everyone it's a question machine — flipping that to 'let me do stuff' is a harder sell than people admit, not a tech problem

Chidanand Tripathi (@thetripathi58) reportedThe modern Gmail ecosystem is a heavily monetized data-harvesting machine disguised as a simple communication tool. I spent the last month completely tearing down how Google maps your digital life and extracts your behavioral data. Here are 18 rules to bypass the email traps, lock down your inbox, and direct your own reality: ↓↓

SusieBrien (@SusieBrien) reportedEverytime i go to login to the emails, it keeps saying too many wrong login attemtps and i have to login to Gmail to get a code, so i can then log back in to the Microsoft Outlook. Annoying... @Outlook

FireNymph13 (@FireNymph13) reported@Robbfix001 @discord And that's unfortunately not even the main issue of why I'm in a panic trying to contact them, I received a VERY horrid message from someone claiming to be the Safety team and says that it was sent with the "App" tag, but lists a gmail account and some legit horrifying stuff.
