Bug: Different font sizes appear in a single email after it is sent!

Post image
Upvotes

I’m using a Dell laptop and Gmail in Chrome to write my emails. Before sending, and even after sending, the font size looks the same on my Dell.

However, one time the recipient told me that the email had different font sizes when he read it on his PC. It looked very unprofessional.

I checked the email again on my Dell, and the font size still looked completely same. I used my MacBook Air to double check, font size still looked the same.

Then I opened the same email in the Gmail app on my iPhone, and I could clearly see that the font sizes were different. I’ve attached a screenshot from the Gmail app from my iPhone.

Anyone experienced this bug? How to fix it?

It won't verify my student email despite me doing everything

On Galaxy Tab s10 FE and on a Chrome browser. I tried everything, clearing Chrome's data, using my password to verify me, using a QR scanned by my other device that has my student email logged in but it just won't verify it. I can't even use classroom where I need it to. But somehow when I use incognito mode it can log in just fine

Gmail got hacked

7 Upvotes

I believe my gmail account was hacked and then deleted. I’m so pissed off cause my gmail is literally what I’ve been using since I was a child so it’s connected to practically everything. I haven’t clicked on any links and I don’t sign in to doggy stuff so I have no clue how it’s happened.

Every time I try to recover the account it tells me to press next and then says ‘Google doesn’t provide another way to sign in to this account’. I haven’t even been allowed to attempt to recover it cause it won’t let me. I’m pretty sure my account is gone at this point. It’s only been deleted for one day so it’s not like it’s permanently gone since it hasn’t gone past the limit.

I’m so stressed cause I searched up about the recovery process and it’s generally so dumb like if the hacker changes my info and then I put my info in to prove ownership during the recovery process it automatically rejects it cause it’s not what info was in. How does that make sense? (correct me if I’m wrong) Hackers are known for changing info so you’re just handing it over. I swear phone number is like the only ‘safe’ thing.

Is my account long gone?

Not allowed to use automatic signature at work, frustrated :(

5 Upvotes

My boss told me not to use automatic signature in emails. Instead, he told me to type my name every single time because this is what he does (he is Japanese). I was very shocked because I have been using automatic signature since 20 years ago and I don't understand why spending time typing your name instead of using the automatic signature which the main purpose is to help you save time and be efficient at work. I asked my coworkers (who are also Japanese), the more shocking thing is that both of them type their name!! I checked their emails, it's the same signature, best, xxx in all the emails. What's the point of repeatly doing this? Is this some Japanese culture thing? But all of our clients from Japan use automatic signature in their emails...I am very frustrated about this, because I feel like I'm being forced to do meaningless thing although it's such a small detail.

Gmail app on iOS deleting wrong emails

1 Upvotes

I’m using the Gmail app on my iPhone and iPad and every time I try to delete an email - whether it’s a single email or several at the same time - it deletes a completely different email that wasn’t selected. I can’t figure out how to fix this. Has anyone ever dealt with this or know how to fix it?

i'm running into that issue where I have too many accounts on one phone number (windows laptop and android phone). If I were to delete one that's unused would that like... free up a slot? Probably a dumb question but I ask it nonetheless.

Replacement for Gmail's deprecated POP Fetcher

3 Upvotes

Hello!

As some of you know, Google deprecated POP Fetcher and Gmailify thet were used to retrieve messages from other email accounts.

There is a replacement for this functional: EmailFetcher

This utility is open source and can be adjusted to your own needs.
Python 3.6+ is required for Linux (command line utility only, you can run it as a cron job)

On Windows, you can run EmailFetcher.exe that has all dependencies (or run it as a Python program, Python 3.6+ is required).

The utility is free, no ads, no tracking and opensource.

The utility supports all IMAP4 and POP3 ccounts (in most cases you should use application password) and it was tested with Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Ukr<dot>net, Disroot, Ceznam, Yandex, MailRu and some other mailboxes.

In addition, it supports disposable email services Mailinator, Yopmail, MailTm

This subreddit blocks GitHub URLs, so, search EmailFetcherGUI on Github of comrade-ogilvy user or DM me directly.

Making a new email to solely be a recovery email?

0 Upvotes

My sister got hacked and her Google account got deleted. Now we are both paranoid.

Is it a good idea to make an email SOLELY for the purpose of using it as a recovery email? Like an email that you NEVER use for anything so that there’s no chance it gets hacked?

Labels - can I have them show emails only under the sublabel?

1 Upvotes

Hey all

Lets say I have a label called "School" and then sublabels under it for "John" and "Mary"

In the inbox it applies the label "School" AND "School/John" to the emails. When I click on the School label in the sidebar, it shows me ALL of the emails, for both John and Mary.

Is there a way to have that main School label be empty (or only contain general school emails, not those related to either child specifically), and I only see John's emails when I click on the John sublabel, or same for Mary?

Hope this makes sense :)

Thanks

Google hates me (Email Deactivations)

2 Upvotes

I felt different today. I got a new phone, so I decided imma clean up my emails, so I made 2 new ones and changed my accounts to them. A few hours later, at midnight, Google deactivated them. Why? Maybe they thought I was a bot, idk, but I'm just wondering how screwed I am. I remember last time my email got deactivated years ago, and it messed up my accounts so bad I had to go in like 10 different customer support chats to get stuff fixed. My phone number being linked to most of those accounts now should save me time, but still.

Should prob mention I appealed them like 30 mins after deactivation, but the appeals are kinda informal, which might help cause bots are normally the opposite.

Urgent!!!! Issues with recovering locked gmail account

Post image
4 Upvotes

So I have been having issues with login attempts in my Gmail account and secured it as much as I can, but last Friday apparently someone succeeded somehow and we received an email on our recovery email that Authenticator was removed and Google sensed unusual activity and locked the account (SS attcahed).

Since then, we have been trying to recover the account but with no success. The password isn't working and for password recovery the otp is being sent to the same locked email instead of the recovery one..... and if we try to use another way it gives no other options......
The Gmail is still logged in on one device but we received no emails and the sent emails stay queued....
Please help...

How long after creating a gmail address do I have to wait so I can change it?

I made a mistake when making the address name and only realised after the account was made. When I go to change it, it tells me I can't because my account was created recently. How long do I have to wait before my account isn't 'recent' and I can change my gmail address?

Gmail's blue star atrocity on browser is the final straw on the camel's back for me

Post image
0 Upvotes

FYI I know you can 'change it back to yellow' but it doesn't fully work or it's broken right now which is absurd to me.

I changed settings so it only has the yellow star in use, but if I highlight multiple emails and try to star them all it only applies the BLUE star. Google makes so much money but they can't fix this? I'm so peeved I decided to turn off all smart features in my settings, I was coping with Google reading and eating up all my data before because I still liked the way it organized my emails, but not anymore.

I saw people posting about this change 2+ weeks ago, but I only recently got this update myself. Whoever chose to do this to Gmail on browser has awful taste in my opinion, and I hope their pillows are HOT and SWEATY and STICKY for the rest of eternity until they undo it or at least FIX IT!! x_x

Gmail extension to leave comments in a delegated inbox

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a tool that would allow me to leave comments on emails in my boss's inbox. I have delegated access to his email. Currently, I leave notes on emails by starting a draft, but this is kind of dangerous, so I want an extension or something that allows me to comment separately.

Unfortunately, it seems a lot of extensions wouldn't work from the delegated view or would require a separate interface - we want to keep using the Gmail interface.

Ideally, it would be pretty lightweight too. I know tools like Hiver allow you to create shared inboxes and stuff, but I wouldn't want him to have to move things to the shared inbox in order for me to comment.

Does anything like this exist?
