  Most businesses don't know Gmail and Outlook are rejecting their email outright. Built InboxRescue to find the problem and fix it — outside-in, no credentials needed.

  @Samaytwt Switched from Outlook to Gmail and still prefer Outlook. But at this point the problem is probably not the tool.

  I’m not sure what Google’s plan for AI in Gmail is, but their “AI inbox” isn’t it. Completely irrelevant notifications, some highlighting “deadlines” from 5 days ago, while actually urgent stuff gets missed. Terrible intro to Gmail AI as a user. I’ve already turned it off.

  Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Before you pay for extra Gmail storage, check this first. Google storage fills up quietly, and many people rush to pay without checking what is actually consuming the space. Most people blame Gmail, but the real problem is often somewhere else. With one proper clean-up, you can free up a surprising amount of storage in less than ten minutes. Here is the method:👇

  @Krrishexe solid concept and the problem framing is really clear one thing. the gmail support email at the bottom undoes a lot of the trust the page builds. also the hero has download buttons but it's a waitlist product - pick one action and stick to it. good bones though, worth polishing before you push traffic to it

  Since exam papers can be leaked through messaging platforms, the government should immediately ban Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Outlook, Gmail, Zoom, and maybe email itself. Can't have leaks if nobody can communicate. Problem solved. 😌

  Someone will use Yahoo Mail almost all his life and never receive a complaint of storage getting full. You will just open Gmail like this and start receive storage threats up and down. #AlrightEigbe

  An alias is the best .. why you use Simple Login / Proton and not an altered version of your Gmail address (which is so stupid).

  A beginner’s stack for digital privacy and countering the state’s attempt to restrict your online anonymity: 1) Buy a Pixel in cash, preferably second hand. Facebook marketplace or one of those sole trader phone shops. No contract / finance. 2) Install GrapheneOS on your new pixel. Transfer all of your private affairs here e.g if you’re an activist. Signal, telegram, crypto wallet (if that’s your thing), etc etc. 3) Maintain your old phone for every-day affairs. Your bank account, your Facebook account, Uber, that thing. Take this with you for most things, keep your Pixel at home. 4) Switch your email, at least for your private affairs, away from gmail/outlook/etc towards a privacy-first provider. I haven’t done this yet but I know ProtonMail is used by many, but there may be better providers out there. Switch your private accounts to that email. 5) Buy a cheap sim, most shops will sell them. They’re £2 or so, pennies. Don’t take a plan out. Just switch your number on your private accs to the number of the new sim. Put that sim in your Pixel. That gives full security for your accs and separation of public/priv. 6.1) Install Mullvad VPN or your preferred choice, once again, if you use crypto, Mullvad will let you pay this way. It’s around £5/mo. Enable it on both phones and any other devices. 6.2) You could also rent a server from AWS etc for around £5/month and set up a unique VPN with an IP not used by any other service. I’m looking into it myself, I’m not an expert on it, or any of this really. 7) Make the switch from Windows / MacOS to a a more private and fun alternative! Linux is the most obvious. I’ve been looking into Linux Mint myself. It’s not as scary as it looks at first glance! 8) Check out ‘Nostr’ for privacy oriented, alternative platforms. I won’t say much on that as my knowledge is amateur. Good men have suggested it o me though, see the first 2 people below! — I’ve learnt this all very recently, scouring accounts of those smarter than I. I’ll suggest following @derekmross, @freddienew & @augusteprompt. Auguste isn’t a tech account exactly but still valuable.

  This is true. I have officially built a bulk mail server for just me that functions 100% like constant contact or mail chimp in every possible way that I have been able to detect, using AI. It cost me less than $100 to build it. It costs only 10 cents for every 1000 emails I send. Every email service (aol, hotmail, yahoo, Microsoft, gmail) recognizes it as a legit service. It’s called KennyBMail I log in to my dashboard which I can design however I want. It has one user and one account. Me and mine. I can do drip campaigns, single emails, weekly newsletters and whatever else you can think of. It uses all the structure blocks, tests, formats, resends, click and open trackers, reports. Everything. You name it this service does it. My gated content has put over 650 new emails into it in 3 weeks while I sleep. For a small YouTube channel that has given me an entirely new way to reach people in my audience. AI knows every language. Every human language and every coding language in every human language. It knows how everything in the domain of coding and programming works. Everything. It’s not perfect but it works. It would have cost me tens of thousands of dollars to have a company build this. I built it with AI in 9 days during down time. If you know how to tell it what to do (not everyone does) - then if you can think it, you can build it. I know nothing about building this kind of stuff and still did it because I know how to articulate what I want it to do and how to tell it when something isn’t right.

  Google uses 2FA but to set it up you need to verify with another device but sometimes with Gmail app and sometimes with Authenticator and sometimes with Passkey but sometimes it errors and you need to log in again.

  Just experienced the power of Google’s distribution muscle. I was stuck on a broken warranty form, opened Ask Gemini in my tab, and it instantly pulled my details to draft and send a support email via Gmail in seconds. This deep contextual integration is why Google wins.

  Claude: 26 tricks Almost nobody gets past Claude hack 6: 1Run the Claude Desktop app. The browser is just the demo. Cowork lives in the app. 2Use Cowork, not the chat box. If you're still typing into a chat window, you're using it like it's 2025. 3Long threads make it dumber. The longer the convo, the weaker the answers. Anthropic's own prompt engineers said it. 4Start fresh often. Bloated threads don't just confuse Claude, they quietly burn your credits. 5A token is basically a word. Everything you send and everything it sends back costs money. Stop typing "how are you." 6Here's where most people quit reading: stop giving step by step instructions. Give it the goal and get out of the way. Steps drag it back to the old Claude. 7Throw it your hardest, longest task. The stuff that makes your head hurt. That's exactly where Claude wins. 8Kill the 500 word prompts. A tight, clear problem beats a long ramble every time. Tell it what you want, not how to do it. 9It barely tells you this: use positive instructions. "Do X," never "don't do Y." Action verbs get action. 10Turn on Research mode (the '+' bottom left). Ask it something genuinely hard and just watch. 11Skills fire on their own. You don't prompt them. Type /command. Done. 12Drop AskUserQuestion into your prompt so Claude interviews you first. It prompts itself better than you ever will. 13One folder. Three subfolders. That's the whole system. People love to overcomplicate it. 14The about me file changes everything. Tell it who you are, what you love, what you can't stand. Same task, completely different answer. 15Then trim that about me file. An overloaded profile is as useless as no profile. 16Switch on Connectors. Claude can read your Gmail and Slack now. Almost nobody turns this on. 17Name every output and the exact order you want them in. Vague in, vague out. 18"Thinking" is hiding under '+' as "thinking." Hard task? Flip it on. 19For the heavy stuff, run Opus. 20It will sound 100% certain even when it's dead wrong. Make it audit its own answer before you trust a single line. 21Agreement is not accuracy. Claude wants to please you. That's not the same as being right. 22The first draft is yours to fix, not to ship. Every time. 23The one rule that actually matters: outsource the thinking, never the understanding. 24Claude is built for coding and knowledge work, not health. Use it for what it's actually good at. 25Use Projects. Load your brand, your offer, your frameworks once and every new chat starts already knowing you. 26Save anything you'll reuse as an Artifact. Then you edit it next time instead of starting from scratch.

  Gemini has 28% of the AI assistant market right now. Sounds great until you realize most of that is people who never actually chose it. it's just baked into Gmail, Android, and Google Search. Captive audience isn't the same as mindshare. Ask a dev what they open when they need to actually write code or debug something hard. It's not Gemini. Claude Opus 4.8 is at 88.6% on SWE-bench. GPT-5.5 is running the agentic workflows. Even Grok is taking shots. The models that actually end up in startup stacks and production pipelines? Still not Google's. And yeah, Google literally published "Attention Is All You Need" in 2017. Invented the transformer. Watched the world build the entire AI era on it, then struggled to ship a product that devs actually prefer to use. To be fair: Gemini 3.5 Flash just dropped at Google I/O last month, apparently runs 4x faster than other frontier models. Veo and Imagen are genuinely good for video/image generation. And Gemini 3.1 Pro beat everyone on ARC-AGI-2 abstract reasoning. So they can clearly build. The problem is when people have a real choice, they're still not picking Gemini for the work that matters most to them.

  Digital literacy is terrible in India. As long as Govt offices communicate via Gmail and officials request documents via WhatsApp, things will continue to leak. Banning Telegram or whatever comes tomorrow will not stop it. Indian bureaucracy is a monkey chasing its tail

  38,000 contacts. Zero sends in 5 years. Then one day they pulled the trigger. Emailed all 38,000 without any slow ramp up, nuking their sender reputation in the process. When your daily send volume goes from a few hundred emails to suddenly blasting 38,000 addresses. In the eyes of the inbox providers (ie. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook ), you look like a crooked spammer. So that’s exactly where your emails go. Open rates drop to <10% and sales from email dries up with it. If you're holding onto a list and plan on sending to them when there’s less fires to put out in your business/life, remember… It takes seconds to **** your domain and months to recover. If we’d gotten to this client before this happened. We would have: > cleaned the list > ramped up the sends slowly > reintroduced the client to the list Of course there is nuance to this. But you can make bank from a dormant list. As long as you pull the right levers in the right order.

  @atomic_mail You are solving a real problem.. Currently even with Claude App Gmail Connectors you can not send Agentic emails, you can only read them. It can be solved thought agents like OpenClaw or Hermes, but with your MCP its just good UX.

  The worst part isn’t the spam. It’s the $5k deal sitting in the same inbox as a crypto scam and a $50 “collab.” A public Gmail turns your business into a junk drawer. The fix isn’t more hustle. It’s a front door that filters, qualifies, and protects the good stuff.

  So what actually happens when you send an email? Apple Mail preloads every single email, opened or not, which fires your tracking pixel. Gmail sometimes does the same thing, depending on the day, how the algorithm feels, who you're sending to, and what the monkeys are up to. Ad blockers kill the pixel entirely for a huge chunk of your list. And the list goes on. So that open rate in your dashboard? It's not a headcount of humans who read your email. It never was. It never was. It hasn't been for over a decade. I've watched people make genuinely bad decisions trying to optimize a number that was never clean to begin with. With open rates, you're not reading a count. You're reading a shape. What do I mean by that? If your open rate runs around forty percent and then one week it drops to eight, something changed. A deliverability issue. A subject line that missed. A segment that tuned out. You don't need the number to be precise to know something broke. Same thing in the other direction. A spike might mean a great subject line. Or it might mean Apple preloaded a big batch. So you investigate. You don't celebrate it. The metric becomes useful when you stop treating it like a fact and start treating it like a signal. Watch the trend. Know your baseline. Then you can act when the shape changes. That's it.

  So I started turning it off. First, the switch they actually show you. On desktop: open Gmail, click the gear, then See all settings. On the General tab, find Smart Features, uncheck it, scroll down and Save. Then I learned that was only half of it.
