  So the #1 thing I'm seeing with Shopify brands right now, and I've diagnosed this twice just in the last month, is that your emails aren't even landing anymore. They're going to spam and you don't know it because your open rates look totally fine. And here's why they look fine. The machines open everything now. Everything. Apple Mail, Gmail, all of it, they pre-load your emails on their own servers before a human ever looks at it, so that open rate you're staring at, half of it's a ghost. It's not real. It's telling you everything's good while your clicks fall off a cliff and your revenue falls right behind it. So you're sitting there thinking it's your content, thinking you gotta write better subject lines, and it's not that at all. Here's what's actually happening. Those fake opens are hiding the fact that half your list is dead. And when you keep mailing dead subscribers because the numbers look fine, Gmail watches that, decides your mail is unwanted, and starts dumping you straight into spam. Your reputation craters and you never even saw it coming. That's why so many brands got quietly wrecked this spring. Wider sends, less engaged lists, and Gmail cracked down hard. And I'll tell you the part nobody wants to hear. Your agency didn't catch this because they get paid to send, they don't get paid to land. Big difference. So go pull your last 10 campaigns right now. If your opens are steady but your clicks just died, you're not boring, you're invisible. Nobody's even seeing you.

  Dear Mrs. Collins, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed by email alone. Since you state my funds are being legally held at your New York branch, I would prefer to handle this in person. Please provide the complete legal name of the bank, the physical street address of the branch where my funds are held, the branch telephone number, your banking license information, and the account reference. I will independently verify all of this through publicly available records before visiting the branch myself. Once there, I will present identification, establish ownership of the account, and request that the funds be released directly to me by cashier's check or transferred into my personal bank account. This avoids unnecessary fees, intermediaries, and security risks associated with communicating through Gmail or Outlook email addresses rather than an official bank domain. I have never done business with your institution, so I hope you understand my caution. If the funds genuinely belong to me and are already in your custody, there should be no issue resolving this face-to-face through normal banking procedures. I look forward to receiving the verified branch information so I can arrange my visit.

  @joinpeanut @zzMaruf I also faced this issue when I was trying to create my account for the first time. Since I was in a hurry, my primary Gmail was selected, but the passkey was mistakenly created under my secondary Google account. The problem is that I don't use my secondary Gmail regularly. With most other exchanges and applications, users can easily add, remove, or update passkeys whenever needed. However, this system doesn't seem to offer that flexibility. So, what is the solution in this situation if passkeys cannot be managed or transferred?

  @NewMexicoDOJ Two important excel spreadsheets missing from my email this week that both were sent to my email last week really unsettled my mind and drives me nuts. They were both saved to my desktop which I modified them afterwards. They are not in Outlook or my deleted folder or are they my desktop or my recycling bin. I have never permanently deleted a file on Outlook or my Desktop since I started here. So, how do they just both disappear? They were both very important! It reminds me of my Gmail account where emails would be invisible then reappear all of which regarding my weekly floating schedule. I was late or missed work a few times from schedules that were clearly altered or missing. It got a point where I printed them from the work computers and would cross reference them! Don't tell me its me as those issues never existed with me my entire life! I am done contacting IT as its a bad look for my local division as they cannot solve these problems and its only making me look like a lunatic. The resources being deployed come from the highest level of digital and networking capabilities and is well outside their range or capability due to one set of technologies versus another one. Thats my opinion anyways of why they have yet to be identified. This is what caused me to burn a gasket earlier and go on another posting tirade!

  The best business in AI is selling the solution to a problem you defined. Microsoft trained the modern office worker. Now Copilot retrains them. Anthropic trained developers on Claude. Now it sells the workflow. NVIDIA created the compute gap. Now it sells the compute. Software engineered the desk job. Let's not undersell the move though - the same vendor that shaped the workflow gets to capture the replacement. This is why every "AI stack" diagram misses the moat. The LLM, the agent framework, the RAG layer - all interchangeable. What's not interchangeable is the company that owns both the legacy workflow and the AI that replaces it. OpenAI has ChatGPT but not the enterprise surface. Anthropic has Claude but not the operating system. Google has Gmail, Docs, Workspace - which is why Gemini matters more than its benchmarks suggest. The frontier model race is a distraction. The real competition is for the workflow surface where the previous decade of software-shaped behavior already lives.

  Simple as ABC. If you’re trying to set up your Adsense and you notice your network is ******. Don’t proceed. If you proceed and you eventually get a step two error first time. Don’t reapply with the same details or email or phone number. (This is after you get a step 2 error once) - close the Adsense account registered with the Gmail. - close the Google payment details (sometimes you’d find 2, close them all) - after closing both, your CHANGE ASSOCIATION on YouTube studio will disappear. - to make the CHANGE ASSOCIATION come back, you have to go back and reactivate the closed Adsense account. - after reactivating, wait a while until CHANGE ASSOCIATION comes back. - once the CHANGE ASSOCIATION comes back….get a new Email, a totally different fresh details, and fresh phone number. - make sure your network is good. And healthy. And proceed to register with the new email, details and phone number ( the new email has to be logged in on your device so you can click it) - after submitting, go back and close the Adsense you reactivated. And you’re done. Thanks

  Ven Venkata | Email Marketing (@0Venkata) reported 15 minutes ago

  Inbox placement is not the same thing as delivery rate. Delivery rate is what your ESP reports. It measures whether the email was accepted by the receiving server, not bounced, not rejected outright. Most ESPs show delivery rates of 98-99% and teams read that as "our emails are reaching people." Delivery to a spam folder counts as delivered. Delivery to a promotions tab counts as delivered. An email that sits unopened in a folder the recipient never checks counts as delivered in the ESP dashboard. Inbox placement is the number that actually matters: what percentage of delivered emails reached the primary inbox versus spam, promotions, or another folder. This is not in your ESP. Your ESP doesn't know where the email ended up after the receiving server accepted it. Google Postmaster shows inbox placement for Gmail recipients specifically. GlockApps and Mail-Tester run seed tests that simulate placement across multiple providers before a send. A 99% delivery rate and a 60% inbox placement rate is not a good outcome. It's 40% of sends reaching a folder where they have a meaningful chance of never being seen, reported as a 99% success. The metric your ESP leads with is not the metric that determines whether your email program works.

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? We hit send and the message arrives. Underneath that is a system with no built-in authentication and optional encryption, which is held together by 50 years of patches. Around 376 billion emails move every day, and close to half are spam. Here is the path each mail takes: 𝟭. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 When we hit send, the client submits the message to a server on port 587, which checks our login, stamps a message-ID, and passes it on. 𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 It is store-and-forward. If the receiving server is down, the message waits in a queue and retries on a back-off schedule: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, then hours, up to four or five days. Instant delivery just means the queue cleared fast. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 SMTP carries two "from" values. The envelope (MAIL FROM) routes the message between servers, while the header (From:) is the one we read. SMTP never checks that they match, and that gap is why phishing works. 𝟰. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 SMTP shipped with no way to prove who sent a message. So the industry added SPF (a list of authorized IPs), then DKIM (a cryptographic signature) to cover SPF's gaps, then DMARC to make the visible From: match one of them. Three DNS setups, all easy to misconfigure. 𝟱. 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Email uses opportunistic TLS. The sending server asks if the receiver supports STARTTLS, encrypts if yes, and falls back to plain text if no. For Gmail or Outlook client connections it is effectively mandatory, but server to server it stays optional. TLS also protects the connection, not the content, so the servers read everything. 𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 A delivered message lands in the inbox, bounces with a 5xx error the sender sees, or gets moved to spam with no notice to anyone. RFC 5321 permits that last one. Email was built in the 1970s for a small network of researchers who trusted each other. Nobody planned for banking or phishing. Billions of messages still arrive correctly every day on top of all of it.

  @JeremiahDJohns @Nikita i think the only problem with his intuition here (aside from the timeline) is that iMessage, phone calls, and Gmail all have *some* level of protective barrier; they aren't just open hoses. notice he didn't say email which does have the open relay problem.

  Mo RezaAli (@RezaaliMo) reported 47 minutes ago

  My tool said 98% deliverability. The replies said spam folder. I'd written copy I was actually proud of. Tight subject lines, real personalization, a Yakkyo sourcing angle our buyers care about. Sent 412. Got 3 replies. Took me two days to admit the copy was never the problem. I'd sent it all from our main domain. No separate sending domain. No warmup. SPF and DKIM half-configured because the demo I copied skipped that part. So "98% delivered" just meant the email left the building. Where it landed, Gmail had already decided. The infra was the whole campaign. The copy was the part that mattered least. So before I touch outreach automation now: a separate sending domain, never the one your real email runs on. Three or four weeks warming it before it sees a real list. SPF, DKIM, DMARC actually passing, not just sitting there. Then ramp slow, like a person would. Did you warm a separate domain before your last cold campaign, or did you find this out the way I did?

  Puneet Patwari (@system_monarch) reported 52 minutes ago

  Gmail tells you your email is "Sent" in a split second - well before it's actually reached the other person, and sometimes before it's even tried. It's not really lying. It's making a promise. Sending mail means talking to the other person's mail server, which might be slow, busy, or down. If Gmail made you sit and wait for that, sending would feel broken. So instead it drops your email into a line and instantly tells you it's done. A separate system in the background picks emails off that line and does the slow work of actually delivering them, trying again if the other server isn't answering. This is called a message queue. Whenever a job is slow or unreliable, you take it, set it aside, and deal with it separately. "Sent" doesn't mean it arrived. It means "we've got it, and we'll get it there."
