Lea Marie Korsawe (@leakorsawe) reported@Samaytwt Switched from Outlook to Gmail and still prefer Outlook. But at this point the problem is probably not the tool.

yyyonz (@yyyonz) reportedCan’t unlink my Xbox activision because you need to login via email. Gmail says the account needs to be created bc that email doesn’t exist. Gmail also says the email is taken when you create the email. Activision will only respond via email. But I can’t reach that email.

His Royal Majesty (@hrm_xklusiv24) reported@sidrachain I can't login with my registered yahoo email, if I use Gmail instead, it directs me to start verification again on a new account, my account has been verified fully, why can't I gain access back into my already existing account? Codes are not been sent to my registered yahoo mail

James Camp 🛠,🛠 (@JamesonCamp) reported@HenedyVP Are you getting those emails as optin? For newsletter cause that’s a bit low if so brother I also am not making a comment on the quality of what you're doing in my original post. What I'm trying to say is that: Phone carriers are cracking down on inbound calls and so are Gmail and Turn The Inbox. It's not fully happening yet but it is on the way in the next couple of years

Vaile Walders (@VaileW98349) reportedspelling errors I think it's deliberately messing with me, & another thing I'm on a rant about all this crap why are there so many steps & so many functions within each step to enable a feature, to enable spell check on a Chromebook using Chrome in Gmail that's another (cont)

Victor Godsk (@EcomVictor) reportedQuestions my agency has gotten recently from active clients and brands looking to work with us 👇 1. Do we HAVE to give a 10% discount on our pop-up like everyone else? You don’t. A lot of brands do it because it's given them the best results long-term (sign-up rate + conversions over time). But… a lot of brands also do it just because they think they have to do that to maximize email list growth with a pop-up. Here's a better option for a lot of brands: If you're already offering something like a % discount + free gifts/shipping on your product page, just use that exact offer on your pop-up. Even though people don't technically need to sign up to get it. It usually performs really well and it doesn't eat further into your margins just to grow your list. Grüns does exactly this too. Their evergreen offer is 52% off + free shipping, and that's what their pop-up promotes too. Test both for your brand and see what makes most sense for your profits/growth. 2. We've never sent emails before. How do we get good open rates? First, make sure you’ve got a branded sending domain set up. Then, start with your flows. Build 1 email for each of the flows where profiles are highest intent: - welcome series - browse abandonment - abandoned cart - abandoned checkout - post-purchase These fire automatically, get decent engagement, and slowly build your sender reputation. (If your welcome flow opens are awful within the first ~2 days, like sub 35%, turn on double opt-in temporarily while you fix deliverability. It'll slow list growth, but it pays off long-term for revenue) For campaigns, you've got no email engagement data yet, so segment with the data you DO have. - recent abandoned checkouts - active customers - recent site visitors - people who joined your list in the last 7-14 days Once you've sent a few and gathered some data, start segmenting by people who opened or clicked your emails recently (last 7-14 days) and send to those. Hit 50%+ open rates on a few campaigns? Expand to 30-day engagers. Hit 50%+ again on those? Go to 60-day engagers. Keep going until you're at a comfortable spot. That spot is different for every brand though. We've got clients where 180-day engagers is the base segment, and clients where it's 30 days. It depends. Also, exclude anyone who bounces. The whole point is signaling to inbox providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) that their users actually want and engage with your emails. 3. Our click rate is too low. How do we optimize it? Can we make that our main focus? First, ask yourself if "more clicks" is really the goal you think it is. If your content is already top-tier (angles, offers, copy, design) and you're sending to a broad but engaged segment most of the time… a higher click rate probably won't do what you think it will. Click rate doesn't equal revenue. Revenue equals revenue. We could easily get you a 5%+ click rate by sending to a tiny, super-engaged audience. But that email would most likely generate a fraction of what a bigger send at 0.7% click rate would do in actual sales. We have clients getting 2-3% click rates on every campaign. We have clients getting 0.5-0.8% on every campaign. It depends on your frequency, traffic sources, list quality, product type, customer avatar. All of it. There's nothing we could change in the "copywriting strategy" or "design strategy" that would suddenly double their click rate consistently across every send. Sure, certain concepts spike clicks here and there (gamified emails, mystery offers that bait the click, etc.), but that shouldn't replace your whole content strategy. Track click rate. Understand it. Just don't optimize your entire strategy around it. Optimize for revenue.

Jason Park (@Jason_scales1) reportedyour cold email isn't failing because of your copy it's failing because gmail decided you were spam before anyone opened it the inbox math doesn't care how good your subject line is if your dns is broken fix the infrastructure first. then worry about the words. most people do this in the wrong order.

Keith Perhac 🐡 (@harisenbon79) reportedSo what actually happens when you send an email? Apple Mail preloads every single email, opened or not, which fires your tracking pixel. Gmail sometimes does the same thing, depending on the day, how the algorithm feels, who you're sending to, and what the monkeys are up to. Ad blockers kill the pixel entirely for a huge chunk of your list. And the list goes on. So that open rate in your dashboard? It's not a headcount of humans who read your email. It never was. It never was. It hasn't been for over a decade. I've watched people make genuinely bad decisions trying to optimize a number that was never clean to begin with. With open rates, you're not reading a count. You're reading a shape. What do I mean by that? If your open rate runs around forty percent and then one week it drops to eight, something changed. A deliverability issue. A subject line that missed. A segment that tuned out. You don't need the number to be precise to know something broke. Same thing in the other direction. A spike might mean a great subject line. Or it might mean Apple preloaded a big batch. So you investigate. You don't celebrate it. The metric becomes useful when you stop treating it like a fact and start treating it like a signal. Watch the trend. Know your baseline. Then you can act when the shape changes. That's it.

FATHELA ESQ (@AmControo) reportedBefore you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Google storage fills up quietly, and many people rush to pay without checking what is actually consuming the space. Most people blame Gmail, but the real problem is often somewhere else. With one proper clean-up, you can free up a surprising amount of storage in less than ten minutes. Here is the method:👇

Vivi (@vivilinsv) reportedI asked @ManusAI a data security question: now that the reported Meta/Manus deal appears to be in an unwind/disentanglement process, could any Chinese government authority have access to my data if I connect services like Gmail? The answer I got was surprising. Manus said: “Manus is not a Meta company, nor was it ever.” But this seems inconsistent with public information. Manus’s own website says “Manus is now part of Meta,” and its own blog announced that “Manus is joining Meta.” Media has also reported that Meta acquired Manus for around $2B, before Chinese regulators later ordered the deal to be unwound. So the concern is not simply “China” or “ @Meta.” The concern is factual clarity. For a product that asks users to connect Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and other sensitive workflows, corporate status and data governance cannot be vague. This may just be an AI hallucination or an outdated answer. But for a privacy question, that is exactly the problem. Does anyone know - if that is normal?

SK Muzadpuria (@amskmuzadpuria) reportedHello @TeamYouTube, My linked AdSense Google account has been permanently TERMINATED by Google. Because that old Gmail is deleted/terminated, my AdSense got automatically suspended, and now my YouTube Studio Step 2 is completely frozen with a "Suspended" error.

General_Zod (@GenZod84) reportedDigital literacy is terrible in India. As long as Govt offices communicate via Gmail and officials request documents via WhatsApp, things will continue to leak. Banning Telegram or whatever comes tomorrow will not stop it. Indian bureaucracy is a monkey chasing its tail

Manjul Vic🦅 (@VictorManjul) reported@Kachi_Meta @vian337 @joseph_sorbari The likely cause is the navigation process. When you visit the site: Click on "Get Started, next Start New Registration”. Avoid logging in with Gmail; instead, scroll down and complete the form with your "First Name, Surname, Phone, Email, Password." After submitting the form, an email will be sent to the provided address, check the Spam folder if you don't see it. Open the email and click the verification link. Next, log in using your email and password. Finally, click "START NEW REGISTRATION." This will open a form for the user to complete. Once finished, submit the form to complete the process.

Andrew Carles (@andrew_carles) reported@hetmehtaa The issue is that email itself is not inherently secure. While the practitioner's email system may be encrypted and compliant, there is no guarantee that a patient's personal AOL, Yahoo, or Gmail account has the same level of security. Once information leaves the provider's secure environment and is delivered to an unsecured personal email account, the risk of unauthorized access increases significantly.

Vanessa Raney (@VanessaRaney) reportedHa ha, @gmail and mistakes. Anyway, I found my pay stub; the $40 was paid. However - thanks to @GoogleAI - the problem is I was charged $22 for NY state taxes because the amount was entered in as supplemental rather than wages ("additional income") which they should've been.

yoru Kakashi (@1kakashi_hatak) reported@SimpCorpZephyr @thepoonam0914 1) When you download the app in phone they access your data and login all the Google accounts on there personal device then they also delete the mail from Gmail of login to not get identified and they start there work of collecting all the informations and accounts like insta,fb

Anuvrat Singh (@anuvrat_singh) reportedFor context on how bad 36/100 actually is: the alert system was also making 2,000 sequential email connections per send cycle. At 1,000 subscribers that's enough to get the whole service rate-limited by Gmail. Not a slow feature. A feature that quietly stops working at scale, with no error, no log, nothing telling you it failed. This is the stuff that's invisible until it isn't.

xjdr (@_xjdr) reported@tolly_xyz @xlr8harder Sorry about that. I'll take a look. Looking with GitHub or Gmail should work but track this down and fix it asap

Saumil Mehta (@saumil) reported@Ticket_Help2022 With respect - a bad take. There was all this hubbub about how the “inventor of the queue” was going to show us how to solve the bot problem. What did he say? The same thing I’ve been saying for weeks/months. IDV helps (related, bots know how to cart and wait out timers too). Also, binary takes are naive at Internet scale. “Can’t solve bots” and “can solve bots” are a binary. With 20 billion bots a month attacking, you have to pick a metric of success on this to adjudicate. Do you say “GMail can’t stop spam” if you get one spam message? I’m sure not.

Vaibhav Sharma (@TheVaibhavShrma) reportedSince exam papers can be leaked through messaging platforms, the government should immediately ban Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Outlook, Gmail, Zoom, and maybe email itself. Can't have leaks if nobody can communicate. Problem solved. 😌

Jose Velez (@J_dev363) reported@nandoprince93 The problem is that while the integration is good the app itself is not that good. I’ve tried using Apple Maps and I always get a wrong direction. I try using Apple Music but the recommendations are not that good. I use Apple mail because I prefer it over Gmail but even that, the ui is weird

Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reportedDay 14 of 30. 30 Days of Practical Tech. Today: lock your accounts in 5 minutes with an authenticator app. Here's the problem with the text message codes most people use. A hacker calls your phone company pretends to be you and moves your number to their SIM card. Now the codes come to them. It's called a SIM swap and it's how people lose their whole Coinbase balance overnight. The fix: download Authy or the 1Password app. Go to the security settings on Gmail X and your bank. Pick "authenticator app." A square barcode pops up. Scan it with the app. Done. The app spits out a fresh 6 digit code every 30 seconds and it lives on your phone not the phone network. No call to your carrier can steal it. That one move stops about 95% of account break ins. Took me longer to type this than it'll take you to do it. Tomorrow Day 15: how a password manager makes one stolen password stop being your problem.

Aria Westcott (@AriaWestcott) reportedSo I started turning it off. First, the switch they actually show you. On desktop: open Gmail, click the gear, then See all settings. On the General tab, find Smart Features, uncheck it, scroll down and Save. Then I learned that was only half of it.
