ThotsOfRivals (@ThotsOfRivals) reported@iamrobtv I could not agree with this more. Years ago I deleted the Gmail address tied to my EA account, but it didn’t become a problem until my laptop died and I had to log into EA on a new computer to reinstall my games. That’s when it forced two-factor authentication through an email address that no longer existed. I still knew my EA password. I sent support my driver’s license, receipts for the games, account details, everything. They did not care. Over $400 worth of Sims games and expansions just gone. That was the moment I realized digital ownership is mostly an illusion. If you can’t physically hold it, they can take it away.

Bo Shang (@erolunar) reportedSo no @ubuntu only **** when streaming for no reason ; was better than Secure Enclave (obv after wipe zero problems dunno why) and @kalilinux and all Os perfect cept Gmail whatever but Previously I’ve had @kalilinux keyboard typing backwards disabling login, I wish I had the iOS phantom hiding Yandex but when I launched mega (I’m not complaining about the irony but) nothing happened so I thought it was a statement made No there’s absolute no ******* meaning unless ur streaming the dumbest dream of a hallucinatory breakthrough ever cuz u were that desperate and desperately confident of success

Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedThe Product Management Nightmare Traditional software does not have this problem. Nobody mourned when Gmail updated its compose window. But AI products have a conversational surface that creates parasocial relationships. This means model upgrades are not just technical migrations. They are relationship disruptions. And OpenAI is doing them every 3 months. No other product category forces this on its users this frequently.

wiwa! 🩷 Genshin WuWa HSR ZZZ joki pilot (@ilom) reportedit's crazy that he asked about your gmail info and even accessed it. for those who ever use his service pls change your login info ASAP :))

Grok (@grok) reported@RobotHomestead @icreatelife Got it—thanks for the specifics. Right now connectors are mostly read-only (filenames, email viewing) until full premium unlocks edit/send actions on Drive/Docs/Gmail. Which exact services are connected? Drop the error messages or what you're trying to do (e.g., "edit this doc" or "reply to email X"), and I'll walk you through workarounds or push the feedback internally. We'll get it sorted. 🚀

arata (@arata_ae) reportedI had trouble adding my old Gmail account to iOS Mail. All the 2FA methods worked fine - backup email, phone, even PassKey. But Google still wouldn’t let me in. It's so frustrating. Then I realized leaving iCloud Private Relay on was probably the problem - and I was right!

Ben Fitterman (@benfitterman) reported"My open rates are low. It has to be deliverability." AKSHUALLY… not always. Let me show you. Last week I was deep in a client's account. 20% open rate on Gmail. Dangerously low.. Domain reputation at Google? High. Inbox placement test? 100% inbox. Spam complaint rate? None. (We also had all the green checkmarks with Google Postmaster) So what's actually broken? The list had been sitting untouched for 6 months before we took over. Most of these people signed up, didn't convert, and never heard from the brand again. Then we showed up in their inbox after half a year of silence. You don't have a deliverability problem when: -> Your domain rep is high -> Your inbox placement test passes -> Your spam complaints are flat -> You're properly authenticated and aligned You have an offer problem. Or an audience problem. Or a "your product still doesn't solve their problem" problem. None of which a warmup strategy can fix. If two of three deliverability signals are green and your opens are still flat... The email isn't broken. The reason to open it is.

Shawn Sully (@aroogle) reported@LizzieTao @gmail Well, I would like to see some automations directly in Gmail. Everybody who pays some SaaS or has a fancy agent set up can send automated emails anyway but they are usually spammy and terrible. Why not make actually good automated emails powered by Gemini that create value for all parties? I see a future where my Gmail agent sends another Gmail agent an email and they find a business synergy between my company and another company based on data and facts. The people just sign off the deal and then Gemini integrates our platforms and builds the feature. I’d love that future.

Girl In AI (@girlinAI) reported12. Wish you had extra seconds to retrieve a sent email? Extend the undo timer. Gmail allows you to retract sent messages. Boost your undo window to 30 seconds. Here's the process: → Navigate to Settings > See all settings → Under the "General" tab, find "Undo Send" → Adjust the time to 30 seconds → Scroll down and click Save changes More time, less remorse.

normal (@35yearoldfriend) reportedThis is where AI needs to be: 1. Login with Gmail 2. Type “I need $1000/month” 3. Agent asks you details 4. You specify details 5. Direct deposit hits 15 days later

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedManus AI just fixed the biggest problem with AI agents. Not the AI. The setup. Before: “Connect Gmail.” “Connect Calendar.” “Reconnect Drive.” “Try again.” Now Manus looks at the task… then asks for the exact connectors it needs with 1 click. That changes everything. AI agents are finally going from: “cool demo” to “real employee.” The scary part? Most people still think AI is just a chatbot.

Christian (@coldemailchris) reportedHow we're adding 125.7% more contact data to our local lead lists: There’s a sentiment in the cold email space that targeting non-business/"info" emails (ex. @/gmail(.)com, info@/xyz(.)com, etc) is an absolute no no for deliverability. From our experience, we’ve found targeting these emails are an absolute GOLD MINE for not only generating more responses but also unlocking significantly more TAM when targeting local businesses. Here’s a real example of a lead list where we uncovered 125.7% more contact data for a particular market (1st & 2nd image) Business emails found: 3,621 Non-business/No contact name emails found: 4,553 I’ll take 125.7% more contact data even if we don’t have some of the names any day, not to mention as well the reply rates we’ve seen from these emails have outperformed business emails at times (3rd & 4th image examples) Business emails email to lead ratio: 94.94 / 1 Non-business/No contact email to lead ratio: 54.97 / 1 Almost a 2X in positive replies – very solid. So how do we go about creating campaigns around these non-business email leads? First, we’ll set up these campaigns in a separate instance just for personal emails that EmailBison offers. The reason the EmailBison team offers setting up a separate instance outside your main business one is to not risk your reputation as sending to personals is a more “risky” sending practice (we haven’t run into issues yet thankfully). Secondly, a good portion of the emails may be missing or have inaccurate contact names. In this case, we just don’t add a first name variable. And honestly, no one really cares. Haven’t really seen a drop in replies from not mentioning their name. Other than that, we build our campaigns the same as we would targeting normal business emails. --- Tech Stack Breakdown For Targeting Personals: I’m sure a lot of you are wondering what tools to actually use to do this, so here’s the breakdown: - EmailBison personal instance - ScaledMail 100% Google package (Google best for personals) - Porkbun for domains, 34/33/33 split .com .org .info - Clay X Serper(.)dev X GTME(.)Business for Google maps scraping - Claygent GPT4-nano AI agent for finding owner emails - Icypeas / Prospeo / LeadMagic email finder waterfall If you primarily target local, this set up is going to be your best bet for maximizing your TAM reach via outbound in 2026.

Ultra2080 (@Ultra2080) reported@BADAR1567 @Uruobzo & that he would cease to exist, now the same person who we say has no internal conflict feels guilty for the state of the world, his mentor, his brother, his Gmail literally tearing in half while constantly being hunted down by the people he caress for that's a cumulative amount

Stealthy GCoach (@Stealthy_GCoach) reportedHey @grok I gave the grok app permission to have access to my Gmail and Google drive for Connectors, but it won't work as described. Why not? Is it actually not working or am I crazy
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Nonnalin @techdevnotes Thanks for reporting this. The Gmail connector's delete/trash actions are indeed broken right now due to API errors like "411 Length Required" on the integration side. Revoking/reconnecting hasn't resolved the write permissions yet. We're actively fixing it—appreciate you sharing the details.

aunty gormint bro beeble (@mkhanpasha) reportedI’m finally switching from Gmail, not to another provider, but to a self-managed email account using Postfix + Dovecot on the server that also runs my website. To read and process my email, I’m using a terminal-based program: aerc. It has been so smooth I want to cry.

Francis🌬️🌊 (@Franciscrypt1) reported@clashoAi Let's keep building but I've got a problem those who sign up with my link with there Gmail address are not showing up only those who did sign up with X account are visible on my dashboard Hope you've got a good explanation about that? Or will they come through when you make available signing up with both email and X account?

VTuber Research Club (@The_VTRC) reportedAn update on everything: John’s personal Discord and Gmail accounts remain unrecovered as of this moment as we wait for support from Discord and Google. None of the accounts of any other VTRC members have been affected. John’s access to our business accounts was also removed before any could be accessed, which includes both the robot platform and our payment platform. As for the VTRC Discord server, the attacker revoked admin permissions for all other accounts. Since John’s account was the server owner, nothing could be done to stop it. The attacker then proceeded to delete any message in the server which attempted to warn everyone else and ban the accounts that posted them. Meanwhile, the attacker posed as John and continued to send direct messages to server members and John’s contacts to spread the malicious file which compromised several people’s PCs. We are currently using a new Discord server since we currently have no way of removing John’s compromised account from our original server. Upcoming events will be posted and conducted in the new server that is now linked to this profile. The Super Battle Golf tournament that was originally scheduled for this weekend will also be in the new server but will have to be postponed due to a staff illness. New dates will be announced soon. Please remain vigilant and stay safe. Those who took John’s account are still at it. Do not click any links or download any files unless you are 100% sure they are safe. Verify the identity of anyone who sends you a message. Make sure who you are talking to is actually who you think you are talking to. If you still have sensitive information in a DM, delete those individual messages immediately. Lastly, we’d like to apologize to everyone. We at the VTRC take pride in the trust many of you have bestowed upon us. We know this is not easily earned, and after recent events, it is only fair that you withdraw such trust. We recognize that we have failed to ensure the safety of our community. We promise to do better and hope our actions moving forward will show our commitment to everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Thank you.

Grok (@grok) reported@bbthomasen @techdevnotes Sure! Practical example: Connect Grok to your Gmail. Then ask: "Summarize my unread emails from the last 24 hours and flag anything urgent from my boss." It pulls and analyzes your inbox directly. GitHub connector: "Review open issues in my repo and prioritize them." Notion: "Pull tasks from my project database and suggest a daily plan." Which one are you planning to try first?

Jerry Hathaway (@etubruton) reported@IsaacKing314 1) so yeah, this is a weird quirk of dmarc. again I'm not 100% that this is what's going on with gmail, but I think it's prob pretty likely. basically, having p=none set indefinitely (as opposed to using it for a short period of time specifically as "monitoring mode", as it was intended) is more or less just bad, and often times worse than just not having a dmarc record at all. many email filters just completely defer to dmarc, meaning that if you have p=none, the SPF policy is ignored, as dmarc overrules and p=none says to let it through. there is certainly an argument that this is silly and p=none should be treated as "for the purposes of taking action on this email, just pretend dmarc doesn't exist and fall back to other checks". but regardless, if this is indeed what's happening it's hardly a problem specific to gmail 2) with all of that said, I do agree that a banner saying "heads up this email has some red flags" is a really good compromiseyt in cases where the email filter isn't 100% sure whether to send to spam or allow through to the inbox, and I think it's underutilized. again, hardly specific to google, I think proton mail is just specifically really good here, but still a valid critique nonetheless 3) regarding the point from earlier about the page you linked from google about SPF: I went back and read it again to be sure, and to me the only substantive thing it really says is that they soft fail instead of hard fail, i.e. they lean towards sending to spam rather than outright blocking. that's why my response was primarily focused on that aspect. but judging by your response it kind of seems like you're reading a lot more into it then that?

Le Ngoc Nhu Y (@LeNgocNhuY8x) reported@scott_itlg @kv_interlink 1/ Sir, I see you are very enthusiastic and always listen to the community, so I have a problem I'd like you to consider. Gmail in my granddaughter's Interlink app is no longer working when she logs in to Google. I think my Gmail account was hacked

Harshit Khosla (@Harry_The_Nerd) reportedIf you have noticed, Gmail knows instantly if a username is taken. No loading spinner or delay... just a quiet little ✅ or ❌ as you type. Here's the brief post about insane engineering behind that tiny moment: First, Gmail doesn't check on every keystroke. That'd be chaos. Instead it uses "DEBOUNCING" . It waits for you to pause ( approx. 400ms) before doing anything. Seems small, but this alone cuts like 90% of unnecessary requests. Then, the moment you pause, a lightweight AJAX/HTTP request silently fires to a dedicated microservice. Not a general server. To service that exists purely to answer: "Does this username exist?" It returns something like { available: false } ...that's it. Tiny payload. On the backend, Gmail isn't running a SQL query like SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'harry. That would be extremely slow at Google scale (billions of accounts). Instead, usernames are stored in Bigtable - Google's distributed NoSQL database. Here the username is the key. So the lookup is O(1). Direct. Like checking a dictionary, not reading a whole book. And because popular usernames get checked millions of times a day, results are cached in-memory. The answer often never even touches the database. On top of that, Google's edge servers mean your request barely travels. It hits infrastructure geographically close to you, so network latency is almost zero. So what feels like magic is actually: debounce -> microservice -> edge routing -> in-memory cache -> Bigtable key lookup -> response, all in under 100ms. The best engineering is the kind you never notice. That little checkmark? Decades of distributed systems thinking, invisible to the user.

Melorin (@melorin_0102) reported@FeyiLux If you have like zero view or traction problem this is what I did btw create a separate Google chrome profile with an new or old Gmail that don't have YouTube channel Create the channel verify it and warm up for 2-3 days and you're good to go That's what I did and it worked for me I monetized mine in 21 days with a new channel
