seomasterrace (@seomasterace) reported@kimmonismus I have the same issue with the gmail connector it seems that claude doesnt have direct access to some mail threads in the way it is set up you just need to state it clearly in claude.md to be careful to read ALL unread mail for ex. And from there it works

Jose Mugaburu (@mugabuilds) reported@kimmonismus I feel the pain with threaded emails. If you're referring to Gmail, their json object for can be confusing, so you need to fetch the data in the right places, then use metadata so you can guarantee it always reads the latest emails. I have an issue like that, and changed the digest workflow a little bit, and that solved it.

Harsh Makadia (@MakadiaHarsh) reportedIf I had 3 months to break into AI Automation, here's exactly how I'd do it: Stage 1: API fundamentals. REST, webhooks, auth, rate limits, error handling. Stage 2: LLM basics. Tokens, context windows, when to use the $0.25 model vs the $15 one. Cost intuition is a skill. Stage 3: Prompting for systems. System prompts, few-shot examples, structured JSON outputs with validation. Stage 4: The glue layer. This is the actual job: connecting Gmail, Sheets, Slack, CRMs, payment tools. Master one orchestrator (n8n, Activepieces, Make) AND know when to drop into code. Stage 5: Orchestration patterns. Tool calling, retries, idempotency, human-in-the-loop approvals. The difference between a demo and a system a business trusts. Stage 6: RAG - the light version. Chunking, one vector DB, hybrid search. Most client work needs "answers from our docs," not a research pipeline. Stage 7: Evals and reliability. Test sets, accuracy scoring, regression checks. This is what separates $2K projects from $20K retainers. Stage 8: Security. Prompt injection defense, PII handling, output filtering. Non-negotiable the moment your agent touches email or customer data. Stage 9: Deploy boring. Docker, one cloud, logging you can actually read. Nobody pays extra for exotic infra. Stage 10: Ship publicly. Build 3 real automations for real problems. Document them. Post the numbers. The roadmap isn't the hard part. 3 months of actually building is.

Prabhakar Singh Parihar प्रभाकर सिँह परिहार (@IPrabhakarSP) reported@SamsungIndia @SamsungMobile I've been using Samsung devices for years and never faced anything like this before. The problems started only after the latest software update. Suddenly Gmail, Play Store, Google Pay, and other Google services stopped working properly. Instead of asking customers to visit a service center for an issue caused by a software update, Samsung should acknowledge the problem and provide a proper fix. A software update is supposed to improve the user experience, not break essential apps. Really disappointing, @SamsungIndia

Dean Hunt (@deanhunt) reportedlast week I was able to use GPT-live voice on my iphone to draft email replies from my gmail inbox, today it says it doesn't have that ability. Anyone had the same issue? My morning dog walk has become way less productive. 🙃

Adeyinka §upercøøl™ (@dave00733) reportedGMAIL NOT WORKING, PLAYSTORE NOT WORKING, YOUTUBE NOT WORKING, ALL APPS CONNECTED TO GOOGLE UNRESPONSIVE. @AirtelNigeria IS THE MOST USELESS NETWORK IN NIGERIA. THIS IS UNBEARABLE.

Bence Redmond (@BenceRedmond) reported@shcallaway @sazabi imo as long as Notion has a good MCP server, it doesn't make sense to represent docs in markdown. You miss out on a lot of the niceties of a proper note-taking app. what I really want is a `universal_search` MCP that's able to combine the search tools from all my other integrations (GitHub, Notion, Granola, Gmail, etc.) -- I think that solves a lot of the fragmentation problems. (monorepos ftw btw)

anna (@meowkoteeq) reported@gorillaz4Sale no, it's not fun, it's "oh yeah sorry please check your spam folder. hmm still nothing? okay let me try send it from my gmail" if you want fun, set up a SIP server. if you want some pain too, set up a Matrix server. if you have friends who smell, spin up a fediverse instance. webfinger, webring, plex, your own nas, you can do anything but do not set up your own mail server

Shawn O'Brien ⛳️ (@TheRealSOB) reported@gmail if you don’t fix the search function in your iOS app, I am going to have to move away from what is probably the most persistent app on any phone I’ve ever owned going back like 20 years. Totally ridiculous.

Dub Dublin (@DubDublin) reported@esrtweet There are good Linux distros fro desktop use, and there have been for at least 15-20 years. I'm exorcising Windows from my life right now, and I'm seriously thinking about going with BSD over Linux. (I've used Linux for my primary desktop several times over the years (mostly Corel/Puppy/Ubuntu), for a total of about 3 or 4 years, but got enticed back to Windows back in 2014 by the Surface Pro and it's amazing support for touch and pen. Since MS has now pretty much abandoned-in-place pen/touch support (and most devs do nothing to take advantage of it, especially after they killed off the awesome, if slow, Surface Studio), there's literally NO reason to put up with Redmond's maddening crapfest anymore.) I do encourage everyone who can to get off Windows. Just donit buy it. If you're a techie, build a Linux/BSD machine. If you're not, and you think Google is any more trustworthy than Microsoft (arguably they are, but that's a really low bar), and especially if your company already uses Gmail, Chromebooks are the zero-admin solution every business owner should be seriously considering. No IT Indians needed!

American Independent📚 (@AmericanPhD1984) reported@IamDr_MJ He suggested Proton as an alternative to Gmail. Nothing is 100% safe, but Google is by far the worst of them. What you mentioned is part of the problem—Google having ultimate power over everyone’s access to apps, mail, games, streams, etc.

Dr. Simone Gold (@drsimonegold) reportedThis is accountability long overdue. David Morens sat at Anthony Fauci’s right hand for years. Now he’s indicted for falsifying records, deleting evidence, and running official communications through secret Gmail accounts to hide the truth about COVID origins, gain-of-function research, and the grants that flowed into Wuhan. While they buried the evidence, the American people were locked down, censored, injected, and told to “trust the science.” Careers were destroyed. Early treatments were suppressed. Children lost years of their lives. Millions suffered. We said it from day one. They called us dangerous. They were the ones orchestrating the cover-up. The house of cards is collapsing. One indictment is not enough. Real justice means the entire apparatus that treated free citizens like lab rats finally faces the consequences. No one is above the law.

CoffeeGreg (@TheCoffeeGreg) reportedGmail saves every email you ever sent. Unless you hunt it down and delete it.

Tim Hoppen (@timhoppen) reported@japan_nobunaga I had 20,000 unread in my Gmail account last winter. The account was 20 years old at that point, so that's less than 3 per day - not terrible. I searched for all unread that were at least 2 years old and simply marked them as "read". I have fewer unread emails now.

Coco Michelle (@ImCocoMichelle) reported@gmail idk what’s going on over there but yday I had so much storage.. today I had to delete like 700 emails just to get 1 email sent. Then yall tried to suspend my account when it’s up to date with its payment.. again, idk what’s going on but fix it and fix right mf now

Gabs CT (@goflau) reported@mechanakamoto The problem was never the hardware wallet. They didn't hack the wallet, they hacked the seed. If you have your password as "password" and they hack your gmail, do you complaint with google?
