Topic: Is it normal for Gmail accounts to not receive emails???
Anonymous A started this discussion 12 years ago #35,278
This has never happened before, but apparently it had to happen first in the middle of something really important. So awkward. I hadn't heard from the seller for a week and when I wanted to see what was up, they said they had been sending me several emails but I hadn't gotten any of them up to that point. I don't know what happened since it was working alright for a while, but then it suddenly stopped.
They're a highly reputable business so I know they didn't rip me off or anything, but something broke and I have no idea how to fix it. It's driving me crazy. None of their emails landed in my spam folder, or any other folder for that matter. I even sent myself a few random emails from another account to make sure I could still receive them. I'm stumped.
I'm using the apple mail client and all accounts are synchronized and online. I even went into the gmail site and found nothing in there either. Has this ever happened to any of you guys?

Thanks for the post/Question
You got me to look at spam folder under More -- rare I get spam on Gmail and there was one mail in folder which was NOT spam so I moved it to inbox.
So check your spam folder.

> They're a highly reputable business
So is my consulting business. That said tomorrow I will send an email that was supposed to be sent Sunday. Yes I am embarrassed yet dollar value of delayed mail is so much worth it and yes its not the best of ethics - that said the client will end up saving money in the long run.

This thyme I sent a letter to me that said tomorrow I will send an email that was supposed to be sent Sunday. When future me asked about the tim difference I am talking about me in 10 myle surfing dance-off! I did not lye about swing dancing on surfboard shananigans, aye was busy making with margaritas and tamales.
Also, Y is green not here in time loopys? I thought Minichan 4-cornered mod rotation caught all possible thyme loups? Qualcomm stock is increasing in value ever so 4 much, but it might be a time to invest in fajitas!

@previous (C)Ah now I am free to say this which I could not by law say b4. I tried to hint oh yes I did about Qualcomm going bonkers and now its up +$20 bucks per share from my hints a year ago.
Now talk about 10 myle events n thyme loops - I so so so wanted to hint about Globalstar (in my opinion only!!!) yet law forbid such and even wood make me end up as jail bait.
If you only had a clue how I felt about Stock selling not even on the Stock market cause they were d-listed from NASDAQ and was running around 25 fucking cents. Yet in a very very short time after getting listed on NYSE that stock you could have had for pocket change is now over $4 a share and YES I bought n bought n bought and and and can say no more.
> swing dancing on surfboard shananigans,
If only I could. Can do a double spin, but outcome is more like 40% of tyme good/great.

I still don't understand why Green isn't here. Did you invent a time-line sorter back when you were advising Emmett Brown on flux capacitance?

Oh, I get it now. That didn't happen.

> Emmett Brown on flux capacitance
Truly a much fun movie and fact is so much fun has been made of the ideal of a Flux Capacitor. On occasions at parties where Engineers might be this subject does come up with lots of smiles. But the interesting thing is - in basic theory Flux Capacitors do in fact exist and can be easily made at home. Its beyond easy because you just make a truly horrid inductor which any kiddlet can do without trying. Then you end up with a frequency-dependent resistor. Such can be more then useful but 4 tyme travel not so much me thinks. On the OTHER HAND The KEY EXCEPTION to this, IS it useful in tyme travel ENDS up as - In practice to make a truly good frequency dependent resistor one wood use a delay line. Got that Delay line which means tyme travel but usually in microseconds or ,many milliseconds to a second or 10 but of course one could expand on such if you get my drift?
Few years back a Physicists said Hey wait a minute - How about going real high tech with math and lets see. So on paper he created with math a Flux induction Capacitor - To make such wood be more then kiddlet stuff. Probably a day or two worth of effort. Now can it b used for tyme travel as a component? One wood have to ask Emmett Brown who hangs at a place I once was a VP at howSomEver I never met him in fiction or non fiction section of MCA studios.

Have you logged onto your email account without using the Apple client and check your mail? I find the Apple client very unpredictable.

You need to buy a Gmail Platinum account to continue receiving email after the 30 day trial period.

I looked into it and here's what happened.
I happened to use Apple Mail for the email that broke everything. Sometimes it has trouble connecting to certain accounts and lists them as offline. You have to click on a tab to see which one's are working properly. Thus, it's basically a piece of crap.
When that happens, it will them send mail from the next online account, according to default settings I didn't realize I could easily change until recently.
Now, I had removed an account from apple mail a while ago because the program was getting cluttered. When the account I was sending it from was (unbeknownst to me) offline again, it just sent it from that same removed account anyway because it used to be next in line. All the mail I had been sending was coming from one account and getting replies to another because the sender thought I was continuing the same conversation with that email account.
So every email I sent to them under Email Account A was still being sent from the removed Email Account B because of an erroneous setting in Apple Mail. I couldn't see their replies because I didn't think to check in an email account I thought I had completely removed from the program.
To reiterate: Email Account A was being used to send email from Account B, which should have been gone completely.
It's a little hard to describe without showing a screen cap of the program, but it really shouldn't work that way.
TL;DR don't use Apple Mail with more than two accounts unless you know exactly what you're doing and know exactly when the program is not working correctly. So weird.
