Ghost 👻😏 (@olaitan_smm) reported@AdelekeCreativ3 @gmail Had the same issue last week I request refund from my bank, remove my card and add it again.

Di⭕s🀄 (@Dioslev) reported@iamSoftVina The issue is different from the one I'm familiar with then. Probably you should take it to a tech expert to fix. It might just be a gmail settings

Luke (@ldo_dev) reportedTern sync used to take ~20 seconds. Now it's roughly one 🫡 The trick was asking for less. Before, every check would fetch folder lists, old threads and a pile of mailbox data that hadn't changed at all. Now Tern just asks "what's new?" It grabs the latest mail, pulls in what's needed and gets out of the way. The heavy stuff (folder structure, backfilling old mail) happens quietly in the background. It also adapts to what you're doing: Looking at it? Checks every 5 seconds Inactive tab? Slows down to save battery New mail mid-check? Checks again straight away Gmail, Outlook and IMAP all sync in parallel, so multiple accounts still feel like one inbox. Small change on paper. But the inbox finally feels alive 👀

Sebastian Caniulao | Ecommerce Email & Growth (@canipack21) reported@NickAbraham12 The domain-level tracking is the piece most people skip. Same discipline pays off on the retention side: watching engagement per sending domain caught a Gmail-only dip for one of my ecommerce clients weeks before revenue showed it, because the blend across providers hid the drop. Averages are where deliverability problems go to hide.

Chanah Angelica Kamen (@AngelicaKamen) reportedI lost contact with a good musician friend a few years ago, we were in the same music department at uni, he was a foreign student from China. He graduated his masters a little before me, then gave me his email because that's all he could use to keep in contact with me. We could exchange emails for a while, then that email stopped working. No gmail account, no facebook of course, haven't been able to get in contact with him since and neither have any of my other friends. But anyways, down with the evil Australian government system, am I right?

callumjoelphotography (@callumjoelphoto) reported@gmail i've had an email address disabled with an appeal that was explained well enough. but it is real but suspected of spam/bot - i rarely login it but i need it and it is real. Help - it is for a creative duo account for myself and my partner and we thought a separate email

Miao Yang (@MiaoYang8) reported1 I found Grok conversations/questions in my account that I don’t remember making. That was alarming. I checked my Gmail/login activity and couldn’t find an obvious unauthorized login, so I still don’t know how those conversations appeared.

Cigar Dojo (@CigarDojo) reported@efinebloom We are looking into that issue. If you have a gmail account you can use that option.

Ven Venkata | Email Marketing (@0Venkata) reportedA list with 500 genuinely engaged subscribers will outperform a list with 5,000 loosely relevant ones on every metric that connects to revenue. Not because 500 is a better number. Because engagement quality determines inbox placement, and inbox placement determines whether the email gets seen, and whether the email gets seen determines whether any of the other decisions matter. The 5,000-subscriber list with 40% disengagement is sending to 2,000 people who are either not opening or not clicking, dragging the aggregate engagement signal down for every send. Gmail sees this. The inbox placement for the whole list reflects the behaviour of the disengaged portion. The 500-subscriber list where 80% click regularly sends a strong positive signal on every send. Inbox placement stays high. The engaged subscribers reinforce the reputation that makes the next send land well. The number that matters is not total subscribers. It's the percentage of total subscribers who are genuinely engaged, and whether that percentage is growing or declining as the list grows. If the list is growing and the engagement percentage is declining, the growth channel is importing dilution, not subscribers.

Prajwal Tomar (@PrajwalTomar_) reportedMatt Shumer just got a Gmail banned because an agent was using it. This one made me pause, because honestly I'm guilty of the same thing. My bots run on the same Gmail my clients reply to. It works great right up until the day it doesn't, and xAI's own docs are clear that every bot on your account shares the same logins. One eager bot, one weird email, and it's not the bot that gets flagged, it's the domain. So that's my fix for this week: the bots get their own mailbox, and the inbox clients reply to goes back to being mine. Everyone shows the agent demo. Nobody shows the blast radius.

Yarchi (@undefinedKi) reportedxAI built this for themselves first. The three jobs they actually run on it tell you more than the launch page does. Sales: a bot reads the call transcript, writes the notes into the CRM, drafts the follow-ups. Nobody retypes anything. Ops: a bot seats new hires and processes invoices that arrive in Gmail. The boring half of an ops role, gone. Engineering: a bot reproduces the bug in the product UI, files the ticket, then hands it to a second bot to fix. That handoff happens without a human in the middle. Notice what all three have in common. The work ends inside the actual tool, not as a draft in a chat window. Their own line for it: there is a huge difference between 90% done and 100% done. Start with the ops one. It is the least risky and the most repetitive.

Yogi (@yogeshgautamm) reported@gmail @Google I have my old email id where my number added as well and it's active however I am not able to login even after providing the otp . Could you please help some of my college document is there on my id and it's important to me .

Ananya Narang (@AnanyaNarang_) reportedGoogle just made the smartest deal ever. They bought the entire data of a $6B company for just $10 million (0.0016% of the cost). Here is what happened. Spirit Airlines, once worth $6 billion, went bankrupt in May 2026. The airline was carrying $8.1 billion of debt and could not restructure fast enough. When it shut down, the estate was carved up for creditors. JetBlue bought 22 LaGuardia slots for $58.5 million. A hedge fund bought Spirit's Florida headquarters for $93 million. And then Google walked in and bought the data. For $10 million. The volume of what Google actually got is worth reading. 100 million emails. 763,391 flight records. 17.1 million OneDrive files. 3 billion irregular-operations records. 500 million Microsoft Teams messages. 7.2 billion pricing records of competitor flights & Employee data going back to 1986. Which means Google now has 40 years of one company's operational brain for a price that would not buy an apartment in Camellias. That changes how every founder should think about their own company. Public web data has been fully scraped by every major LLM. OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / xAI and Meta have all crawled Wikipedia, Reddit, GitHub, and every published book that they could get access to. What none of them have crawled is authentic, real-world enterprise communication under pressure. = Pricing decisions made at 2 AM, legal reviews of a controversial marketing campaign, HR investigations, board escalations. Real cross-functional coordination between finance, ops, marketing, and legal teams inside a real business. What Google is doing with this data specifically? Better pricing algorithms for Google Flights, better email drafting in Gmail, better meeting summarisation in Google Meet, better fraud detection models, better enterprise workflow automation in Google Workspace. Spirit is not going to be the last. There is now an emerging ecosystem of specialised firms that identify winding-down companies, negotiate the acquisition of their internal data, scrub it, and package it for AI labs. Which means from now on, every company that shuts down is sitting on something an AI lab wants and that dataset may recover more for creditors than the equipment, the IP, or the customer contracts combined. Your emails, your Slack, your Notion, your Figma files all of it now has a market. Google just published the first credible price on it. What do you think about it?

Ahmedkhan (@Ahmed___khaan) reportedSTOP Using "Sign in with Google" for EVERYTHING!!! Your google account may be connected to far more than just gmail. cloud tools, business accounts, developer platforms, documents, and even services that make you money can all depend on the same login. That convenience can create a single point of failure. If your google account is ever suspended, compromised, or lost, recovering access to everything connected to it can become a much bigger problem than you expect. For important accounts, avoid relying on google as your only login method. use unique passwords, 2fa, recovery methods, and backup admin access whenever possible. Also check your google account connections and remove third-party apps you no longer recognize or use.

Skunky (@skunky) reported@mattshumer_ @agentmail I just had mine tap into the brevo api and if we do any sending it goes through brevo. Not using a mass email provider for sending is crazy at this point given how blacklist happy exchange and yahoo/gmail have gotten. You could do the same thing with any of the other mass email providers (Sendgrid etc). Takes 5 min to set up the account. Leverage APIs as much as possible to save on tokens. Many of the marketplace plugins are fine, but too many are nerfed and you are not able to leverage the full power of the service without full API access. You can also have the agents write custom plugins to leverage more local resources (your actual computer). In my case I have them running most of the google apis via python on my computer so we cut down token usage. The sky is the limit here.

coconutjpg (@coconut_jpgg) reportedEven your email is datacenter funded. It hasn't been a dedicated server for a LONG time. The drive storing your personal gmail emails is the same drive YouTube is storing old Nigahiga videos on in perpetuity

Spoopy Ricotta 👻🧀 In a very Boy Soda era (@Spoopy_cheese) reportedBut anyway I will be back to streaming soonish because besides @discord failing to do anything with my hacked account. and @YouTube and @Google not doing anything. all the other accounts I had linked to this stolen Gmail account. I was able to fix with mostly consistent services.

jux for all (@smitchthekid) reported@gmail hi hello, real operator here. Can you fix the error in Gmail mobile on Pixel 10 where I can't respond to or find the current draft is in the queue. I continually get the same error over and over again that I can't have multiple drafts, yet there is no draft visible -mgmt

Alex Veremeyenko (@alex_verem) reportedGiving an AI agent your passwords is insane. Someone built the open-source alternative. The problem sits under every agent demo you've seen. An agent that reads your email, updates your Notion, and files your invoices needs your logins, and that handover of raw passwords and API keys is where most people close the tab. OpenConnector puts an open-source gateway between the agent and your apps. Credentials stay locked behind the runtime while the agent gets a catalog of ready-made actions for over 800 services, from Gmail and Slack to Notion and Airtable. The agent asks for an action, the gateway runs it against the real service, and the secrets never touch the model's context. The controls are the part I like. You decide which actions an agent can touch through allow and block policies, scope access per connection, hand out runtime tokens instead of real keys, and read redacted logs of every run. It speaks MCP out of the box, ships thousands of prebuilt actions in TypeScript, and self-hosts with one Docker command or a push to Cloudflare. The project is young, and the whole stack, from the provider catalog to the action executors, sits open for anyone to inspect. Agents are getting hands. A gateway like this decides what those hands are allowed to hold, and I'd rather that layer be open source than a black box.

Anjan (@anjanps5) reported@clairevo @openclaw I used to do the same - all my claws have their own identities. I kept running into a series of Gog issues for Gmail connectors and just could not resolve. So thought of going down the eve route.

Nick (@nickbaumann_) reportedChatGPT Work got me $95.46 in Uber Cash after two back-to-back cancelled Uber Eats orders Both were cancelled ~45 minutes after I placed them. I was refunded for the orders themselves, but support initially refused to give me anything for the ~90 minutes they wasted I told ChatGPT Work not to stop until it got some kind of compensation, then let it handle the rest 15 minutes of active work and ~2.5 hours of background follow-up later, the money was in my account here’s the full sequence: 6:11 PM: first order cancelled after a ~45 minute wait. I was refunded, but got nothing for the wasted time 6:19 PM: I told ChatGPT Work to get me some kind of consolation and not back down. It opened a support case and asked for $20 in Uber Cash 6:22 PM: the first agent refused any credit or promo. ChatGPT rejected the resolution and asked for a supervisor, then tried a promo, fee waiver, Uber One extension, or membership adjustment instead 6:31 PM: a second agent also refused compensation. ChatGPT kept the case open and got it transferred to the Uber One team 7:18 PM: my replacement order from the same restaurant was also cancelled after another ~45 minute wait. I was refunded again, but still received no compensation. I told ChatGPT to keep going 7:25 PM: ChatGPT opened a separate Uber One case covering both failures, raised the ask to $30, and pushed the agent to transfer it to a specialist 7:33 PM: ChatGPT submitted a separate written complaint with both cancellation times, the second order ID, and my annual Uber One membership details 7:34 PM: ChatGPT confirmed my Uber Wallet was still at $0 and set up background checks across both support cases, Gmail, and the wallet 7:50 PM: an Uber specialist approved $40.62 for the first cancellation and $54.84 for the second, totaling $95.46 in Uber Cash 8:44 PM: ChatGPT found the response, verified the credit in my actual Uber Wallet, marked the goal complete, and shut down its own follow-up automation credit where it’s due: this was a genuinely frustrating experience, but Uber ultimately made it right (& then some tbh) and treated me like the longtime, frequent customer I am

CyberSignal | Cybersecurity News (@XQOPTRX) reported@saen_dev Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’d frame it too. Right now, prompt injection is still the more common entry point I’m seeing in published enterprise research. The tool-call side becomes more interesting once the agent already has access to things like SharePoint, Gmail, Drive, CRM, APIs, or internal search. That’s where the risk changes from “the model said something weird” to: the agent retrieved something sensitive and then used a legitimate tool to move or expose it. We’ve already seen researchers demonstrate this kind of chain with Copilot and connected services, but I wouldn’t say widespread real-world tool-call exfiltration is proven yet. Public evidence there is still much thinner than prompt-injection activity. So my current view is: Prompt injection is the entry vector. RAG, memory and tool permissions are the blast-radius multipliers. Once an agent can read data, retain context, call tools and communicate externally, the real security problem becomes much more about authorization and data flow than the model itself.

Liran Tal (@liran_tal) reported@theozero I've got a fully specced out and operational second brain and personal assistant for work, it's been immensely valuable for me but I feel it's been that good because I could easily structure work around it. Life is not so much well structured. I want to do the filesystem based second brain approach rather than just let the agent consume with general access. The other issue here is of course security - what does the agent have access to? does it assume your own identity and access (to your Gmail or Google Drive) or does it have its own?
