  I'll die if it says INC. Every moment i think about opening my gmail and the words "INC" pop up, my chest tightens. Kabang kaba na ako, I dont want to be a failure. I need to calm down but I cant, im distracting myself but still it still pops up in my thoughts.

  @stryxowl We analyzed the full headers, which were interesting but not conclusive-- the email was sent through Gmail, but that does not necessarily mean that a Google server in Taiwan was the first hop, so to speak. The key was the originating IP address as recorded by Google, which does not appear in the Gmail headers-- we had to subpoena that from Google. I'll never forget the day the records came in showing that the originating IP of the email matched the IP address of the hotel, which was also the IP address of the remaining logged-in session on Alice's Gmail account. Harald had testified in deposition that he was staying at the hotel by himself that night and that Alice was on the other side of Taiwan. My heart sank when I saw the records, because I knew I would have to tell the family that Harald created this fake email and sent the email to himself-- and therefore, that he committed this crime. We believe he panicked and made this mistake, which makes sense-- he was typing this with a broken hand after killing his wife. The only reason I thought to subpoena Google for the originating IP address is that I run my own email server; I know from reviewing log files that this type of information is often recorded as telemetry. Our telecom expert confirmed my approach and analysis. There is no doubt that only Harald could have sent this email-- and that it was from Alice's logged-in Gmail session on a computer in his possession.

  Hey @gmail - So I have a part time job with a local summer college baseball team and my email was initially suspended since I sent out a lot of emails. I bought a Gemini subscription with it, and now can't login in due to "too many failed attempts. It's now costing me my job....

  Gmail is broken when your WiFi sucks. BAREmail just hit Show HN with a brutal truth: most email clients are bloated garbage that choke on slow connections. This minimalist Gmail client strips away everything except what matters. No fancy animations. No heavy images. Just your emails loading fast. The real insight? We've over-engineered email to death. Sometimes the best UX is just making things work when the internet doesn't. 36 points and climbing because developers know this pain.

  Hi @Google @gmail I’m having an issue with Gmail 2-step verification. I’m entering the correct authenticator code, but it keeps saying “wrong code.” Backup codes also aren’t working or not showing. Everything seems fine on my side. Please help. #GoogleSupport #Gmail

  Is anybody else concerned by the pervasive presence of Google into their internet lives? They now have control over all major email providers and clients PLUS most software and app downloads. 100+ server farms (cloud) gather info. Log in with gmail? Orwell's 1984 is here!

  @Horluwa26133032 @nysc360 I don't understand what you wrote about details but if you have filled and submitted it repeatedly, try to login with the Gmail you used and password, then proceed for capturing.

  This same thing just happened to me! Insane that @Google @gmail hasn't found a way to fix this. The phishing email showed up threaded under ACTUAL google security alerts.

  YOU ARE NOT BAD AT EMAILS, NO ONE TAUGHT YOU HOW THEY WORK. If you are a young graduate, this situation may feel familiar. You want to send an email. You open your Gmail inbox and see words like CC, BCC, and subject line. You pause because you are not sure what to do. This is normal. Email writing is an important career skill. But many people were never taught how emails work or how to write them well. Most people learn by guessing, copying others, or making mistakes. This is why sending a simple email can feel stressful. Once you understand the basics, it becomes much easier. A professional email is not complicated. It is a short and clear message with one main purpose. It respects the reader’s time and shows that you are serious and organised. Emails are not essays and they are not casual chats. They sit somewhere in between, and that balance is what many people struggle with. Before writing good emails, you need to understand a few basic terms. The subject line tells the reader why you are writing. It should be clear and specific. A subject like “Hello” says nothing, while “Application for Graduate Internship” tells the reader exactly what to expect. CC means Carbon Copy. It is used to include other people who should see the email, and everyone included can see each other. CC should only be used when necessary. BCC means Blind Carbon Copy. People in BCC receive the email without seeing other recipients. This is useful when sending one message to many people, but it should never be used to hide information unfairly. Reply sends your response to one person, while Reply All sends it to everyone on the email. Always pause and check before clicking Reply All, because many mistakes happen there. Most professional emails follow a simple structure, even if people do not notice it. You begin with a polite greeting, using the person’s name if you know it. This can be as simple as “Dear Mr Adewale” or “Hello Amina.” Your opening sentence should state your purpose immediately. Do not delay or add unnecessary background. A sentence like “I am writing to apply for the communication officer role” is clear and respectful. The main message comes next. This is where you explain your reason for writing in short paragraphs, using simple language and only relevant details. You then end with a closing sentence that shows what you expect next, such as “I look forward to hearing from you.” Finally, you sign off politely and include your full name, using phrases like “Kind regards” or “Best wishes.” Many young graduates worry about sounding professional, but professionalism is not about big grammar or complex words. It is about clarity and respect. Avoid slang, emojis, and jokes. Use simple English and keep a calm tone. Clear writing always sounds professional, even when the language is basic. There are also common mistakes that make emails look careless. Sending an email without a subject line, writing everything in one long paragraph, ignoring spelling errors, or using overly informal language can weaken your message. These mistakes are easy to fix if you take a moment to read your email before sending it. Some basic rules help a lot. Always be clear about why you are writing. Use polite greetings and proofread your message. Do not write in capital letters, because it looks like shouting. Do not send emotional emails when you are upset. And do not overuse CC and BCC. Emails leave records, so it is important to write with care. Learning how to write emails matters more than many people realise. Emails affect job applications, internships, and professional relationships. They often create first impressions before you ever meet someone. One clear email can open doors, while one careless email can quietly close them. If this guide helped you, many others need it too. Email writing is a hidden career skill that is rarely taught but deeply important.

  @TeamYouTube hi I created a YouTube account and I’ve forgotten the gmail I used to create it with. But I remember the passwords and possibly the numbers connected on it but don’t have access to the number if there’s one on there because my old phone is broken. Please help me.

  Today I literally had two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those was working. I'm just like an astronaut, minus the whole traveling to the moon part. (PSA The fix was using Gmail YAMM instead of mail merge through Word.)
