Wale (@Waleluxx) reported@Google Subject: Request for Investigation into Suspected Unauthorized Access and Recovery of Deleted Gmail Emails Dear Google Support, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance regarding what I believe may have been an unauthorized compromise of my Gmail account. In or around 2023, I discovered that a significant portion of my email history—spanning from approximately 2009 through to 2024—had been deleted. I did not delete these emails, nor did I authorize anyone else to do so. Their disappearance came as a complete surprise and has caused me considerable concern. Between 2022 and 2024, I was involved in highly contentious family court proceedings. Given the circumstances during that period, I have reason to be concerned that my email account may have been accessed without my knowledge. While I cannot say with certainty how this occurred, I would be grateful if Google could investigate whether there is any evidence of unauthorized access or unusual account activity. If possible, I respectfully request any information that Google is able to provide regarding: Whether there was any large-scale or bulk deletion of emails from my account. The approximate date and time when those deletions occurred. Which folder or location the emails were deleted from (for example, Inbox, Archive, Trash, or another mailbox). The IP addresses, devices, locations, and login history associated with my account during the relevant period, particularly throughout 2022–2024 and around the suspected deletion in 2023. Whether there were any unusual sign-ins, security alerts, or changes made to my account settings. Whether there is any possibility of recovering the deleted emails, or if backups or archived copies exist that may assist in restoring them. These emails are of immense personal and legal importance. They contain correspondence and records accumulated over many years, and their recovery would be invaluable. I understand that Google has policies regarding user privacy and data retention, and I appreciate that there may be limitations on the information or recovery options available. Nevertheless, I would be sincerely grateful for any assistance or guidance you can provide in investigating this matter. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I look forward to your response and appreciate any help you are able to offer. Yours faithfully, Wale.

Abhishek Soni (@emailwabhishek) reportedYour open rate isn't real anymore. Apple and Gmail are the ones making the number up, not you. Apple loads your email the second it lands. Before anyone reads it. That's about half of all "opens" you see. Not real people, just Apple's computers. Gmail does something different. It loads the pictures in your email through its own system, so an "open" a few seconds after you hit send is usually just Gmail, not a real person. And once it saves that picture, a real second read often doesn't even show up. Now both companies made it worse. Apple's AI writes a short summary of your email right in the inbox. People read that and never open the real email. Gmail does the same thing now. Its AI sums up the whole email thread, so the "open" never even happens. Your click rate isn't safe either. Bots click your links millions of times a day. The real number can be off by half. And Apple's newest update now removes the tracking info from links people click in Mail, so even that data is getting worse. Three numbers broken. Two big email companies making it worse every year. What's still real are replies, sales and money made per subscriber.

Sumit Mittal (@bigdatasumit) reportedEvery other post on my feed seems to be talking about MCP. So I finally thought, why not explain it in the simplest way possible? Imagine you have an AI assistant. It is smart. It can answer questions, write code, summarize documents, and explain concepts. But ask it to read your Gmail, create a Jira ticket, or fetch data from your company's database, and it cannot do that on its own. It needs a way to talk to these external systems. That's exactly what MCP solves. MCP (Model Context Protocol) gives AI models a standard way to connect with external tools and applications. Instead of every tool building a different integration for every AI application, they all follow the same protocol. The AI discovers what tools are available and uses them whenever needed. Think of it like USB-C. You don't need a different cable for every device anymore. As long as both sides support the same standard, they just work. I think that's why MCP is getting so much attention. It makes the entire AI ecosystem much simpler. In the coming posts, I'll explain how MCP actually works, what an MCP Server is, and why almost every AI company is talking about it. what other topics should I cover? #mcp #genai

Shraddha Bharuka (@BharukaShraddha) reported1. The Newsletter Graveyard The Situation: You signed up for a 15% discount code from a trendy mattress company back in 2019. You bought the bed, ignored the emails, and never clicked unsubscribe. What you didn't read in their privacy policy was the clause allowing them to "share data with trusted third-party partners." Fast forward to today, and that single company has legally sold your email to 47 different data brokers, who then sold it to hundreds of affiliate marketers. The Mechanics: Every dormant newsletter in your inbox is a live wire. As long as you are on their list, your data is being refreshed in their CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software, marking your email as an active, deliverable address. The Fix: You need to aggressively audit the graveyard. In your Gmail search bar, type "unsubscribe". You will likely find over 200 active subscriptions you forgot existed. Do not just delete the emails, open them and kill the subscriptions at the source. Each one you sever closes a pipeline that is actively feeding your digital identity to data aggregators.

Vara Tweets 🪷 (@2Varalakshmi) reportedA cyber-crime investigator told me something that ruined my week : " If I get your Gmail for just 10 seconds, I can destroy your entire life. " Not your phone. Not your bank app. One Gmail login. Here's the 10-second attack nobody talks about :

Emilia Cypher (@Cypher_Ai1) reported9. Auto-Advance the setting that makes Gmail feel 2x faster. When you archive an email, Gmail sends you back to the inbox. Then you click the next email. Archive. Back to inbox. Click. Archive. Inbox. This friction is the #1 reason people think Gmail is slow compared to Superhuman. Settings → See All Settings → Advanced → Auto-Advance → Enable. Now when you archive one email, the next email opens instantly. You flow through your inbox sequentially. No return trips. This one setting buried in the "Advanced" tab nobody opens eliminates the single biggest speed difference between Gmail and every paid email client.

Mr Cal (@chimexmary) reportedSomeone is trying hard tonight to sign me out of my Instagram account and the linked Gmail. You're actually hitting a rock because that account is strongly backed up. 2FA is a good thing. I keep receiving prompts from my email when someone tries to sign in to the account. I’m ready for you this night. You will keep initiating and I will keep denying it.

H I K A R U (@Terry3nty) reportedNow imagine an AI agent. Today it needs GitHub. Tomorrow it needs Gmail. Then PostgreSQL. Then Docker. Then your local files. Then AWS. Then Notion. Then a browser. Unlike traditional software, an AI agent isn’t built for one workflow. It’s expected to perform many different tasks across many different systems. That’s where the problem starts. Every tool speaks differently. Every API has different rules. The AI doesn’t just need access to tools… It needs a consistent way to understand and use them.

QuantuM 𝚿 (@quanti_xbt) reportedI honestly did not expect this from @X But this is not just an X problem. Support systems across many of the biggest tech companies often fall short when accounts get compromised. The biggest lesson? Don't rely on support to save you. Protect your account before it's too late. Here are two things everyone should do right now: Enable 2FA on your Gmail account. Enable 2FA on your X account (this is absolutely critical). The @Rektofun account was compromised because 2FA on X was not enabled. I genuinely hope the team gets the support they need and regains access as soon as possible. Stay safe. One small security step today can save months of work tomorrow.

Richard (@odwyer_richard) reportedConnect ChatGPT to your invoices and receipts. It can find documents, analyse spend, check duplicates, and export everything for your accountant 👇 We built a Booksmate MCP connector. 30-second setup. Then ChatGPT becomes your finance assistant. Here’s what it can do: 1/ Find invoices and receipts with prompts like: “Show me all invoices from last month.” 2/ Answer spend questions: “How much did I spend on software this year?” 3/ Break down costs by vendor, category, month, or tax period. 4/ Find duplicate receipts and suspicious expenses. 5/ Pull up specific documents using rough details like supplier, date, or amount. 6/ Package invoices into a ZIP for your accountant. 7/ Export unexported documents to Xero/Quickbooks. 8/ Import new receipts from Gmail and check which mailboxes are connected. Securely connected through OAuth.

pablo sanchez (@pablosanchezmv) reportedDoing email continous communication with agents across different email providers (Gmail, Outlook, custom IMAP servers) turned out to be very difficult. We developed our own server that pools imaps accounts and handles the webhook of creating or continuing an agent thread. I wonder if there is something out there that we could have use via API

BhunuIsLive (@Bhuneshwar763) reportedHey Sir Feature Suggestion for @thefundedroom 🚀 I would like to suggest a feature that could be very beneficial for both creators and users. Currently, referrals only work through referral links. The problem is that many users already have an account on the platform. If they want to support a creator and purchase an account through them, they often can't do so because they have already signed up. A better solution would be to introduce Creator Codes. For example, my creator code could be: BHUNU When a user purchases an account, they could simply enter the creator code at checkout. It wouldn't matter how or when they originally signed up. The purchase would automatically be attributed to that creator. This would provide several benefits: ✅ Existing users could support their favorite creators without creating a new account. ✅ Users would not need to create a new Gmail account just to use a referral link. ✅ Creators could easily track how many customers purchased through their code. ✅ Creators could provide better support and guidance to users who joined through them. Another advantage is that you wouldn't need to offer discounts all the time. Users could simply use the creator code to support their preferred creator. Then, whenever there is a festival, special event, or promotional campaign, you could directly apply any discount or special offer to those creator codes. This would make the system simple, flexible, and easy for everyone to use. Many platforms already use similar systems successfully, including brokers and trading platforms such as Exness, and others. It is simple, user-friendly, and much more convenient than requiring users to sign up again through a referral link. I believe this feature would greatly improve the referral system and create more opportunities for creators while making the process easier for customers.

Subscribr (@SubscribrAI) reportedHow to actually read your YouTube analytics in 29 seconds: CTR under channel average = broken thumbnail (redesign, do not touch the video) CTR above channel average + AVD under 30% = misleading thumbnail (viewer clicked, script disappointed) AVD above 50% + views flat = the algorithm has not found your audience yet (keep posting the same format) Returning viewer rate under 20% = no channel identity (audience does not remember you) Impressions climbing but views flat = thumbnail is not competing in the sidebar (redesign) Impressions flat = trust score issue (warm up new gmail, restart the channel)

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟ ᴍɪᴇssʟᴇʀ 🛡️ (@DanielMiessler) reportedI don’t think most people realize how utterly strange it is that Google does not have an AI harness that is competing with OpenAI and Anthropic. Their ineptitude at product management has now gone from hobbling a company that was guaranteed to win to exposing it to existential risk. This is a company worth trillions of dollars that is medically unable to ship a product. Using any of their services as an administrator is the same type of torture that it was 15 years ago. Google’s inability to fix this should be studied in business books for decades to come. Starting now. It is the single strangest thing I’ve ever seen in business. They literally invented modern AI, and all they have to show for it is annoying pop-ups in Gmail and Google Docs that make everyone want to vibe code an alternative. The best evidence that ASI already exists is a theory that it’s at work inside of Google already, making sure they lose. What an absolute abomination.

Connor Young (@YNOTConnor) reported@thsottiaux My biggest issue is this: all the existing connectors are for services I don't use. Like Gmail, Slack, etc. I generally prefer self-hosted solutions, so going to have to build all my own connectors... making "Work" largely irrelevant to me right now.
