  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.

  @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.

  Dear @YTcyberSupport @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

  First — why almost nobody ever opens their Google Account settings. Setting up a Gmail account takes about ninety seconds. Pick a username, set a password, verify a phone number. Done. The inbox works immediately. That immediate functionality is exactly why almost nobody goes further. But the account behind that inbox controls far more than email: every app you've ever signed into "with Google" has some level of standing access. Every photo backed up through your phone syncs to storage you may not be tracking. Two-factor authentication, once set up, is rarely revisited even after the recovery method attached to it goes stale. And a full security dashboard exists, flagging exactly these issues — but only if you open it. The consultant's rule: "Signup takes ninety seconds. A real security and storage review takes seven minutes. The ninety seconds gives you an inbox. The seven minutes protects everything that inbox is now the master key to."

  3. QuillBot QuillBot does one job, cleaning up your writing, and does it well. The extension drops paraphrasing, grammar checking and tone adjustment right into Gmail, Google Docs and most text boxes on the web. Free plan caps the paraphraser at 125 words, Premium runs about $9.95/month on the annual plan. It's not trying to be a chatbot, and that focus is exactly why people stick with it. Pros: – Integrates directly into Google Docs and Gmail – Nine paraphrasing modes give real control over tone – Cheaper than bundling grammar and paraphrasing tools separately Cons: – The 125 word free cap makes it hard to evaluate before paying – Grammar checker misses subtler clause issues that Grammarly catches – No content generation, so you still need something else for a blank page

  The mechanics of this breakdown are completely predictable: Strict password rules: Force people to change complex keys monthly, and they stop memorizing them. They write Spring2026! on a sticky note or cycle through predictable variations. Blocked file sharing: Lock down network drives too tightly, and employees start emailing sensitive spreadsheets to their personal Gmail accounts. Constant auth prompts: Bombard users with authentication requests, and they develop push fatigue, blindly clicking "Approve" on rogue login attempts just to clear their screens. The system becomes bulletproof on paper while active risk shifts into invisible, unmonitored dark channels.

  Oscar (@HeyOscarx) reported 32 minutes ago

  A guy has used the same Gmail account for 11 years. Never opened Security settings past the initial password reset five years ago. His storage was "almost full" every few months, forcing him to delete old emails in a panic. Apps he'd used once, years ago, still had full access to his entire inbox. Two-factor authentication was set up, but on a recovery method he'd stopped using — an old phone number that wasn't his anymore. Google Photos was silently backing up in full quality, eating storage he didn't know he was paying for. And a "Security Checkup" notification had been sitting unread in his account for over two years. 5 mistakes. On the account that resets almost every other password he owns. A former Google Trust & Safety contractor, now doing personal cybersecurity consulting, watched him try to log into a work document and get locked out by a 2FA prompt going to a dead phone number and said: "You've been treating the account that controls your entire digital identity like a throwaway sign-up form. Your Google account has app-level access audits, storage breakdowns, backup controls, and a full security dashboard. You're using: the password you set in 2015. Let me fix 6 things in 7 minutes." Here are the 6 Gmail/Google account mistakes most people make — and the fix for each one.

  🚨 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.

  @BraydenWilmoth Can you fix Google account linking? A valid Gmail account signed up via email should be able to link to Google OAuth.

• 
  Material Security (@material_sec) reported 41 minutes ago

  @DanielMiessler This logic extends past network listeners too. The same "reduce what's reachable" principle applies to OAuth grants and app connections into things like Gmail or Drive, each one is effectively another listener, just at the data layer instead of the network layer. If AI is going to get better at finding and exploiting whatever's exposed, that includes finding an over-scoped OAuth grant sitting quietly on an account nobody's reviewed in months, not just an open SSH port. Reducing attack surface at the network layer and reducing standing access at the identity layer are the same move made twice, in two different places most orgs treat as unrelated problems.

  Actors, it's very important that you guys start building a martech suite. That's a very fancy way of saying marketing technology, but it really boils down to about three things. Number one, you already have the socials going good on you. Number two, there is a thing called Google search console that you should take your Gmail address and register for, and then connect your socials to Google search console. The reason why is because when someone looks you up on Google, Google populates some of your social media content. And when you connect your social media to Google search console, Google search console will start telling you what people are searching for when your content gets populated. So directors, producers, people that can give you opportunities, people that are looking for collaborations. So in doing so you'll start getting some data on what people are searching for when you are populated. I'll make a few other posts about what type of marketing tech you guys should have that's really simple, really easy. But for this one, go look up Google search console, use your normal Gmail address or whatever Gmail that you use for business, connect with it and connect your social media to it.

  Hermes is amazing debugging solving fixing problems on the desktop. I wrote an email in Thunderbird on a laptop that I have not many months, TB fails to send it via SMTP. Smth smth Gmail authorisation - but it has everything. A grey popup appears without content but with url on top. Hermes goes into a Sherlock Holmes mode. Follow crumbs, reads from ports on the laptop, checks what listens, figures there are >1 OAuth implementations in TB 140. Downloads it, reads the source, launches probes etc. Gets to the bottom of it, fixes it ("The MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 line is now commented out — Thunderbird will auto-detect the X11 session instead of forcing Wayland.") - the email gets sent. With 20 mins delay. While I was entertained watching Hermes performa a miracle from my PoV. I can not describe how impressive Hermes was chasing this. This is going to make the problems all of us have with computer admin go away. The 1st one that will integrate Agent + AI/IQ + OS in a PC such that the PC is not longer as dumb as a rock - this will kill off all other desktops.

  I NEED HELP, Others are witnessing the same problem! @TeamYouTube @Google @gmail On August 9th, someone gained unauthorized access to my Google account, which is connected to my YouTube channel, social media accounts, and school-related emails. After gaining access, the individual signed me out of my account and made themselves the "parent" of my Google account through Family Link, while making my account a "child" account. Because of this, I am now being told that I need authorization from the "parent" account in order to access or recover my own account. The problem is that the parent account is controlled by the individual who hacked me. I did not create or authorize this Family Link relationship. The hacker was also able to access the phone number associated with my Google account. Since the attack, they have repeatedly called and texted me, threatening to compromise my information, accounts, and data unless I pay them $500. I have attempted to resolve this through Gmail and Google's support resources, but I have been unable to reach an actual support representative. The resources I have found primarily direct me to account recovery. Unfortunately, I cannot complete the recovery process because my account is now classified as a "child" account and requires approval from the unauthorized "parent" account controlled by the hacker. I have also attempted to use YouTube's account and channel recovery options, but I am encountering the same issue. Because my Google account is now considered a child account, I cannot properly access or recover my YouTube channel without authorization from the account controlled by the hacker. At this point, I am at a complete loss as to what I am supposed to do. I have exhausted the automated recovery options and repeatedly encountered the same problem: the system directs me to a recovery process that I cannot complete because of an unauthorized Family Link relationship created during the hack. I am asking for this situation to be escalated to an actual human support representative who can investigate the unauthorized Family Link connection, verify that I am the legitimate owner of the account, and help me regain access to my Google account and YouTube channel. I am especially concerned because I have seen other content creators experience similar situations and lose access to their accounts and channels. I have also had multiple friends now fall for the SAME hack since they believe it is ME talking through MY hacked email. I do not want to lose years of work and content simply because the recovery system cannot account for a hacker taking control of an account and then placing it under their own Family Link supervision. I would greatly appreciate any assistance, escalation, or direction toward someone who can actually investigate this situation. I am willing to provide any information or verification necessary to establish that I am the legitimate owner of the account. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I genuinely appreciate any help you can provide.

  @nullbytes00 Actually, thats not the purpose of the tool, if you are trying to replace the Raycast. In Raycast, if you enable any "mini app" like sleep timer via extension, it gives you a shortcut if you will, and also an icon in the bar, so you can easily access that feature. Raycast replaces many other things, and gives their user one, unified, stable, mature mental modal. Why that matters? With Raycast, I use the sleep timer once or twice in a day which is an extension, and I don't want to remember a shortcut for it. On the other hand, sleep timer is not an in app feature, it is independent. So I can easily set my timer via Raycast command. The issue in the SuperCmd is, translate is a feature I use in another app, like my browser. I select the text, and the ONLY way of triggering the translation is the shortcut. What else could trigger it? 1) Right click. 2) Menu bar icon like Raycast, or the SuperCmd menu item in the menubar which triggers notes, snippets etc atm. (I could set it in the settings with a switch like 'show in the bar') 3) I can select the text, trigger the SuperCmd, type translate, click on the translate selection, and the selected text can be moved into the translate screen and translation start automatically. (Lots of click, not my fav, but still a solution) Why it makes sense to have more triggers like above? 1) Your way of using the app is not same with me or anyone else. 2) Not everyone is using a function as much as you imagine, and don't want to assign and use one more shortcut. 3) Everybody has a different mental modal. This is the most important reason. When you go to gmail, there are many ways of deleting an email. Please try it, it is surprising. Imagining like "we have a delete button there, it is obvious and user can use it" is not a good way of thinking from product design perspective. So the real problem here is the lack of flexibility. User is "trapped" in one shortcut mental modal and there is not way out. This is not engineering issue. That's a total product design and UX issue. Cheers.

  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

  OpenMousebot just landed. It's a free open-source version of Grokbot. And it runs on the AI subscriptions you already pay for. Quick backstory: Grokbot's "week-long" free trial died on me in 20 minutes. One day later, a builder shipped this. Open source. No waitlist. → Looks like WhatsApp, but every contact is an AI agent → Each bot gets its own brain, memory, and cloud computer → Pick a different model per bot: Claude, Codex, or Grok → 500+ one-click app connections: Gmail, Slack, Notion → Every risky action needs your approval first The part Grokbot can't match: Grokbot locks you into one model and burns tokens fast. This uses the Claude login you already have. One assistant in one chat box was version 1. A named team of agents, each with a job and a computer? That's version 2. And it just went free.
