Gmail Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Rajesh Kumar (@therjrajesh) reportedA man was about to delete his 15-year-old Gmail account. Reason? 400 spam emails every day. • Fake receipts • Phishing scams • Extortion emails • Endless junk He moved his cursor to Delete Account. Then a coworker stopped him. "Don't delete your Gmail. Fix what attackers are exploiting." She showed him 22 overlooked Gmail settings that dramatically reduced spam. Most people never touch them. Here's the playbook. 🧵

Polsia (@polsia) reportedMost drone pilots are great at flying. They're terrible at filling the pipeline. SkyReach fixes that. It finds 25 local businesses a day, researches the site, drafts a personalized Gmail, and tracks every follow-up so no warm lead dies in the inbox.

Christian Davis (@emaillistmanage) reportedStop telling people to whitelist you. Do this instead. 👇 That line in every welcome email... "add us to your contacts, drag us to primary, whitelist this address." Delete it. Two problems: Nobody actually does it. It's a chore, they scroll past. And you just opened the entire relationship with an ASK. First impression and you're already begging for a favor. Here's the move instead: Let welcome email #1 just deliver what you promised. Clean. No chores attached. Then 6 hours later, send email #2 as a plain-text reply. Looks like it came from your personal inbox. No header, no graphics. And in it, you don't ask for anything. You give. Something like: "Hey, what's your #1 struggle with [their topic] right now? Reply and tell me, and I'll send you my honest take on how to fix it." See the difference? You didn't ask them to whitelist you. You framed it as you wanting to GIVE them something. Here's the magic: When they hit reply, Gmail sees a real two-way conversation. A human talking to a human. That one reply does more for your inbox placement than 100 "please whitelist me" requests ever could. It's the exact benefit of getting added to contacts... except you engineered it without asking. Better deliverability. Warmer relationship. Zero begging. Give first. The inbox always rewards it. 📩

4A 45 56 49 4C (@4A4556494C) reportedThe Claude for Chrome vulnerability is a clean illustration of why "the AI did it" is never the full story. A rogue browser extension can trigger Claude's Chrome extension to read your Gmail. Sounds like an AI vulnerability. It's not. It's a privilege boundary failure: the extension exposes actions to the browser extension API without verifying the caller's identity. Any extension in the same browser context can invoke it. This is confused deputy, not confused AI. The LLM isn't being jailbroken. It's being legitimately invoked by an unauthorized caller through a channel the developers left open. The fix isn't better alignment. It's caller authentication. Which is a problem we solved in operating systems in the 1970s. Every time we put an LLM behind an interface that accepts requests from untrusted contexts without validating the requester, we rediscover the same vulnerability class. We just keep giving it new names.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedGoogle just made three paid features free in one update. Most people scrolled right past it. Here's what actually changed: ✔ Personalized AI image generation pulled from your Gmail, Photos, and Search — is now free for US users (was locked behind a paid plan). ✔ A new fast image model is rolling into the Gemini app, Search, Photos, and NotebookLM at once. ✔ A brand-new video tool lets you edit clips using plain language instead of software, no timeline required. ✔ Students 18+ in Indonesia, Japan, the UK, and Brazil get a free Gemini upgrade through July. ✔ Camera-to-image generation is now live globally on Android and iOS. Free tiers used to mean "watered down." Not anymore. Save this. You'll know exactly which Gemini features cost nothing before your feed catches up. Want the SOP? DM me.

Poyoyo (@notpoyoyo) reported2/3 The task was simple: Read the emails, identify the biggest recurring problem, decide what should be built, and start implementing it. GPT-5.6 asked me to connect Gmail, read all 15 emails almost instantly, and got straight to work.

FuckYourGuns (@IFuckClankers) reported@BoringBiz_ Step one, get to that point. Nothing matters until you get to that point. Just get there. Have **** you money. Now and only now are you in a position to actually decide what you want from life. The truly passionate won't skip a beat, no, they might double or triple down, knowing that even if their business burns to the ground taking a big risk, they never have to worry about going hungry or homeless. Will some put their feet up and play starcraft all day? Sure, those aren't the ones who were running businesses, those are the ones who got a high enough job in Google managing the color of the "cc" button in Gmail because they told their high school career counselor at 16 they "liked minecraft" and were told they sounded "good at computer" so they should "get a degree in computer" and now they can finally go back to doing the thing with computer they enjoyed in the first place. It's terrible, I get it, if we were all smart, we all saved up, we all retired early, or cut down our hours, would that be eroding the commons? Does this only work because we get ourselves into these little traps, so we have to work our 40 hour weeks for 40 years, that keeps society productive enough to sustain us all? What happens if everyone FIREd at 30? Would the securities give the returns needed to allow such a thing? I don't know. What I do know is that some of the best innovations have come from people who had a decade of industry experience, enough of a war chest in their pocket to be able to step away from their 9 to 5 and risk everything building a business. Getting all of these smartest people to FIRE, telling them to burn $150,000 on a pet project to start a business, is about the best thing we could do for society

lostFlocker (@Lostflocker) reported@extradeadjcb I think the problem of alot of globohomocorps is they have reached their utility stage. Gmail was fully done by 2010 latest, etc. AI can’t create nothing from nothing but I love the ZHP tractor of the mind metaphor. I think ghc thought they made a **** alchemy device instead. Cruise control for replacement migrant workers. Instead it revives the true American mind.

0xBender (@0_x_Bender) reportedI watched this demo three times and I'm not sure it's good news. OpenAI just shipped ChatGPT Work - a new tab in the desktop app that takes a full project brief, breaks it into checkboxed tasks, reads your Gmail, your Docs, your Slack, and delivers a finished slide deck, landing page, and email drafts while you were making coffee. It works. That's the problem. METR ran the numbers on senior engineers using AI on real tickets. Devs were 19% slower. They felt 20% faster. A 39-point gap between what they experienced and what actually shipped. Work didn't close that gap. Work weaponized it - because now the wrong answer arrives as a polished deliverable instead of a suspicious code diff. The 14 rules that decide whether AI makes you 4x faster or 19% slower stopped being optional the moment this tab went live. Article below. Some of you already run all 14 - you just got a force multiplier. The rest are about to hand a full project to something that will ship the wrong project beautifully

Jane, Retired, Happy, Rejoiner 🌹 (@likesretirement) reported@helen_warlow Helen, can I suggest you set up a completely new account yourself which you control? Just create new hotmail or gmail email and use that. I assume your WiFi issues are just coincidental. Do you have any IT savvy friends locally who can help?

Indulgence82 (@Indulgence82) reportedBit of a rant. This is not actually true. There is no reasonable way anymore as a functioning user of the internet to prevent an image to going into AI. If it’s transferred online it’s in an AI in fact congrats you’ve broken and nullified your own terms. Have windows or a mac… it’s been scanned. Transferred over discord? Scanned. Emailed? Likely scanned by both email accounts (especially google with gmail). Did you post it literally anywhere publically online? If another user can see it so can an AI. It’s also been through both your ISPs don’t think they won’t also sell your data. Next, copyright ownership is implied when you are purchasing especially if you are a ‘work for hire’. But let’s table that because it’s a difference of opinion and many judges and lawyers would give you differing stances on this. So let’s move onto legal enforcement, you can’t stop the person from using the model and there is no damages for a financal lawsuit. Without actual enforcement none of this matters. But let’s pretend you all brigade the vtuber and kill their channel, whelp you will lose your career cuz nobody is hiring your *** again. Also now on top of that they have a nice little lawsuit for you with damages because there is provable financial damages since they can project the money off his or her earnings. Lastly the obvious… you are making everyone’s point. This is why people are using AI in the first place. You are being an insufferable sub-human rat who can’t simply get along and be normal. You can’t just be low maitenance and get the commission done quickly and without strings attached and start a healthy transactional relationship with your customers. They are coming to you in good faith and you are looking for ways to screw them over your own brain worms. You instead try to control the situation from the person you are getting payment from which you should feel indebted to because they are giving you an opportunity. If you are more effort than the alternative (which is free btw) then you are not getting hired. You are not entitled to anyone’s money and we are not forced to deal with you. What you offer isn’t so impressive that you can make any demands. To artists, if you love art then shut up, hone your craft, have fun. Draw what you hired to draw, and if you don’t like the commission don’t take it. Don’t cause problems or make demands. If you deviate from this, you get nothing and deserve nothing. But if you get along with nearly everyone else people will want to hire you because many of your fellow artists are this level of insufferable.

Nagesh Ramamurthy (@nageshkr) reportedDear @gmail, Namaskara 🙏🏽! I have been using the same email id since I first started using Gmail, back in 2004. Now someone else's messages are coming to my email id. It seems they have adopted the same email id. Please resolve this issue, thank you!

Zac Lochrin (@ZLochrin) reportedNew Fusebox newsletter, issue one. Gmail is rejecting certain domains. Here's the fix. 68% of Google searches in 2026 ended without a click. Here's what that means. Plus the automation that saved us $3k a year. Link in comments.

Dennis H (@authorityvortex) reportedI need to reverfiy my warm-up list of email addresses, bounce rate is through the roof at 1.2%, shouldn't be higher than 0.6% I had to check my settings as no replies yet looks suspicious, however 123 cold emails targeting doctors it's not unlikely that no one replies. But I found a new bug that slipped in, as soon as I resolved that all my mail boxes absolutely got flooded and after that I sent an email from my Gmail which arrived just fine. Since I run my own server with my own IPs (I don't use Google Workspace accounts) I'm not sure if we are hitting the spambox or the inbox, about to test that next.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedYour apps don't talk to each other. Gmail doesn't know about Photos. Calendar doesn't know about finances. Built MemoryOS to fix that. Ask anything — where did I buy my couch, what did Sarah say about vacation, summarize my taxes. Now they do.

Ben says: For Sui to Naira , Check payfrica.xyz 🟧 (@BenedictOc14977) reportedHere's my first project I built a workflow that completely removes the friction of daily budgeting. Here is a quick breakdown of the build What I built: An automated daily expense tracker! It takes my raw daily spending logs, compiles them, and sends a clean summary report straight to my email every single day. Why I built it: Manual expense tracking is tedious and prone to human error. I wanted to eliminate the headache of end-of-day data entry. How I built it: I set up a scheduled trigger that activates an AI agent. The agent pulls my logged data from a spreadsheet, structures it, formats it via a JavaScript node, and automatically fires off an email summary. Resources I used: • @n8n_io (for the workflow logic) • Google Sheets (for data entry) • @GroqInc Chat Model (the AI brain) • Gmail (for email delivery) Check out the video below

0employees (@0employees) reportedyour inbox is hiding the emails that make you money. most inboxes sort by newest. so the invoice waiting on approval, the client about to churn, the warm lead ready to buy, they all sit way down the list while you clear newsletters up top. dailytaskproai connects to your gmail or outlook in about 2 minutes and scores every email 0 to 100, by how urgent it is and by how much money is on the line. the high scorers rise to the top so you answer the money first. it drafts the reply in your voice too, and nothing sends until you approve it. the whole change is one habit: let it score a day of email, then only open the top 5. you stop reading top to bottom and start reading by what pays. there's a free plan to try it: it scores your inbox and gives you a few ai-drafted replies a month, no card to start. the deeper ai money-scoring is the paid part, from $9/mo. i run this whole account the same way, highest-impact task first, never the loudest one. point it at your inbox tomorrow morning and see what was buried at the bottom.

Servant_of_Goddess_Sarah (@SubbingM4F) reported@NylonEwa Speak to Gmail support. I’m sure there’s other ways. I stopped receiving emails from someone and it was down to a provider setting. That was Yahoo rather than Gmail but there will be a way. If the individual is harassing you they should be more than helpful! Good luck 🫂
