Whenever someone tries to email my AOL address, they receive an error message mentioning a Gmail address I am not familiar with. The issue appears to be related to an overquota and inactive email account, which is not mine. Despite contacting AOL for assistance, they denied responsibility, and I am unable to reach anyone at Gmail for support. Despite this confusion, I can still receive emails send to me.

We have been experiencing an issue with emails sent from our [redacted] account to recipients with email addresses ending in videotron.ca. Unfortunately, all emails sent to [redacted] are being returned with delivery status notifications indicating delays followed by failures stating the address could not be found. This is the first time we have encountered this problem as we have been successfully sending emails to these individuals for a long time without any issues. The technician from videotron.ca that we contacted mentioned that the problem lies with Gmail.

A few months back, I upgraded my phone and had three Gmail accounts linked to it - my primary one, my school account, and a third one I used intermittently. Unfortunately, after switching phones, I overlooked ensuring access to all three accounts. While I managed to log into my main and school accounts on the new device, I've completely forgotten the password for the third account. Despite retaining access to some associated accounts, it's crucial for me to regain access to this particular email. Dealing with Google's challenging customer service left me frustrated until I stumbled upon this website.

Hello, I did not receive an email from the Home Office (UKVI) on April 24th. This email was a reminder for my biometrics appointment in London, but as a result, my application was invalidated. Despite later finding the email, it was not in my inbox when I needed it. I had been closely monitoring my emails, which included important appointments related to my mother's surgery, among others.
My lawyer has confirmed that there was a technical error affecting many applicants, causing the email to go unseen. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter. This issue is vital as proving that the invalidation should not have occurred is crucial for my immigration status. Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
David A.

I did not receive an email from the Home Office (UKVI) on April 24 regarding my biometrics appointment in London. Consequently, my application was invalidated. I later found the email, but it was not in my inbox on April 24 when I was checking diligently, amidst other appointment emails regarding my mother's surgery. My lawyer mentioned a technical issue that many applicants, myself included, experienced where the email was not initially visible but was found later. It is crucial to investigate this matter as my immigration status is at stake. Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated in resolving this issue. Thank you.

Good afternoon,
I am encountering an issue with my email account, [redacted], which has been blocked due to suspicious activity. Despite numerous attempts to access it using codes from emails and SMS, I continued to receive a message stating "Suspicious activity. Try again later." After waiting 1.5 months, I finally gained access and updated my password, recovery email, and phone number. However, the next day, I received another email stating the account was temporarily blocked. Despite my efforts to log in with the correct credentials, I received an error message with insufficient data. Despite waiting 24 hours, the issue persists. I have not been presented with any additional verification options. I kindly request assistance in resolving this matter and unblocking my account. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Nadya Chubarskaya

I have three Gmail accounts, and they were all logged into on my old phone. Unfortunately, I left my old phone in a buggy at a store last week, and someone stole it. They hacked all three of my accounts, changed the passwords, and recovery information. I need help to recover my accounts. These Gmail accounts contain vital information like pictures of my children. I am desperate for assistance to regain access to my accounts.

A person has been using the Gmail account [redacted] to steal my content and scam others. They created a fake YouTube channel that mimics mine by adding an underscore at the end of the name. They have copied my description and are fraudulently using my information to deceive people. Here are the details and links to their fake channel and PayPal account they are using for scams. I kindly ask for their email to be flagged as a scammer and their account to be deactivated to prevent further fraudulent activities. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue.

I enabled parental controls on my phone when my grandson started using it. Now that my wife has bought him a tablet with proper child safety settings, I want to disable the parental controls on my phone. However, I'm unable to do so as it has removed my primary Gmail account and only shows my grandson's account. When attempting to remove it, I reached a step asking for his school Gmail, but he doesn't have one yet since he is not in school. I need assistance in removing these parental controls from my phone. Thank you.

About a month ago, I fell victim to a robbery, losing all my devices. As a result, I'm locked out of my personal Google account, impacting both my personal and professional life. While I've regained access to my Google Workspace and business email, recovering my personal account has proven difficult. Even though I can verify my identity, Google's system is imposing a 30-day waiting period because it doesn't recognize my new device. Despite efforts with Google Workspace Support, the personal account recovery remains unresolved due to their limitations in handling such matters. I'm seeking assistance from GetHuman to connect me with Google's Personal Account Recovery team, hoping to expedite the process and bypass the waiting period. I'm ready to prove my identity, answer security questions, and provide evidence of my ownership of the account and payment history for Google Fi. Urgent attention to this matter is crucial. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
I have been experiencing difficulties receiving emails from a regular client. Suddenly, their emails are not getting through, whether they have attachments or not. This issue started last week and has never occurred before. In addition, I have noticed a question mark instead of the usual contact thumbnail when I view their email. Hovering over the mark shows a message saying 'Gmail could not verify that 'Chris' has sent this message (and not a spammer)'. I have had successful communication with them in the past without any problems. It appears that Gmail is mistakenly flagging their emails as spam. I hope to address this matter promptly as it is impacting my business.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best,
Cigdem

I am noticing a concerning issue with my Gmail account. My email address is '[redacted],' but I am receiving emails meant for '[redacted]' (without the dot).
According to Gmail, dots should not affect email delivery, but I am getting messages intended for individuals in Maryland, USA, and Ireland, despite being based in Australia.
This poses a privacy and security risk as I am seeing personal emails not meant for me, and I am unsure if the other individuals are receiving my emails too.
I am seeking guidance on how this error can be resolved to ensure the privacy and security of all parties involved.
