Legacy account holder for Gmail account - how to set up

How can I set up a legacy email address so that if something happens to me, someone close to me can access my Gmail account? I have set up something like this on FB but I don't know if it's available for Gmail

Emails that include a specific office number sent from GoDaddy Office 365 are being flagged by Gmail as SPAM.

When I send emails that do not include this specific office number, emails are delivered to the Gmail users Inbox. When the body or email signature includes the extension 8305, gmail will deliver the email to the SPAM folder. I have tried all different variations, including bracketx, dots, hyphens, spaces, etc... when you add the entire number, the email is sent to the Gmail SPAM folder. I have even swapped out the numbers, and the email is delivered perfectly. Its only with the 8305 extension is added to the email, that gmail decides to filter and deliver the mail to the SPAM folder.

Also, when I test and send the exact email from my on-prem Exchange 2010 box, the email is delivered properly to the gmail Inbox. I was leaning more towards Google being the issue, but it seems to be GoDaddy Office related. What exactly should I be looking for? In my research, I see posts to ensure that my SPF and DKIM are setup properly. I have checked MXtoolBox and everything comes back OK. Not sure what else to check? Any suggestions?

Hi,

As part of a local football club, I email out newsletters through Campaigner from our club's email address to subscribers of newsletter which details news for the club.

There are 250 people who receive the newsletters and they had subscribed to the newsletters themselves.

Until recently, these newsletters were delivered successfully each week.

For the last few weeks, these newsletters have been sending to the subscribers' spam folders.

To fix this problem, we set up or DKIM and SPF records correctly for Campaigner.

This week 4 out of 250 people received the newsletters correctly.

Mostly all of the subscribers use Gmail.

If all subscribers put in the club's email address, where newsletters are sent from, into their contacts in Gmail would that solve anything?

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Thanks,
Robbie

Missing emails by default.

All of a sudden, starting yesterday, my inbox shows very few of my emails. To see the 145 emails I have to "Search mail" my email address... then my emails appear.

I've attached a picture of what shows when I search my email address... the red squares indicate the emails that show by default.

In all, 145 emails show when I search my email address... they used to show all the time.
I am using Chrome.

Spf softfail in gmail

I need to add a spf record to avoid spoofing and I use register.com as dns provider. They told me to add the following into the txt record.

@ "v=spf1 include:spf.registeredsite.com ~all"

I did that. When I sent a test mail to my gmail account, the mail went through but the header showed me it is has a softfail and the error message is as following:

pf=softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning me@mysite.com does not designate 192.168.0.1 as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom= me@mysite.com;

For your information, my A record is the following:

*.mysite.com 10.10.0.1 <- webserver
mail.mysite.com 192.168.0.1 <- emailserver

Note: Please pardon the email address and ip addresses in this post are not real for security reason.

Sync Gmail Contacts to Outlook 2016 Client

Hello All,

I'm currently looking for a way to sync Gmail contacts to an Outlook client. I have the Outlook client configured with the g-mail account. I've imported some contacts, but am unable to figure out how to sync contacts from the Gmail platform to the Outlook platform. My goal is to have both applications sync contact no matter if the users updates contacts from their phone, browser or Outlook client. I've been able to configure the Gmail Calendar to the Outlook client via a web link under account Internet settings tab. Any help or recommendations on how to accomplish this task is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Example: I have received an email with a list of specific date-time appointments. I would like an efficient way to add each to my Google Calendar. Perhaps there is a browser extension that would help with this?

Microsoft Office 2019 Outlook

I am using MS Outlook to connect to my Gmail account.
The issue is that Outlook inbox does not update from my Gmail inbox when I open it. Even if I click the button Send / Receive outlook does not pull the emails in from Gmail.

I can open and check Gmail and see the unread emails are there in the inbox that should have come across to Outlook inbox.

If I send a email from Outlook to my Gmail account I see the email in the Gmail inbox but it does not update and display in the outlook inbox and show it to me.

I have tried the File + Repair in the Outlook side but it still won't retrieve the Gmail inbox emails that have not been opened

Sometimes after the outlook inbox has stayed on the screen for a period of 15 to 30 minutes it may update the Outlook Inbox from the Gmail inbox.

Even If I close the Gmail account and leave the Outlook account open the update does not occur.

Any assistance with this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Access Pop3 gmail server from a Delphi XE2 application

I try to access a gmail account to read and process incoming emails in Delphi XE2
I activated OPO3 for the gmail account
My code is like this :

begin
SSL := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL.Create(Application);
Pop3 := TIDPop3.Create(Application);
with Pop3 do
begin
AuthType := patSASL;
Host := 'pop.gmail.com';
UserName := 'username@gmail.com';
Password := 'theusernamepassword';
Port := 995;
IOHandler := SSL;
UseTLS := utUseImplicitTLS;
Connect;
end;
end;

On the Connect call, I get error EidSASLMechNeed with text (I translate it from french) : SASL mechanism needed for the connection
I have the needed libraries libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll (dated december 201)

Any idea what is wrong ?

Hi,

I have a Samsung Note 9 phone.

My contacts are located in two different places; sim card and Gmail account.

There are different contacts in both of these places but would like all imported to Note 9 phone.

Also, there are some contacts which are the same in both places.

Is there a way of syncing together contacts in Gmail with contacts on this phone, where contacts were imported from sim card, without having duplication of contacts?

Thanks,
Robbie

I have a friend that created their domain with WIX and the email is via G-Suite through WIX.... They share the same email address on 5 computers (with G-Suite and Outlook) and they do mass emailing to specific groups. They created a group in outlook on one computer, but it will not synchronize to all the computers that are running outlook with the same email address. Their contacts are synced but the groups are not how is it possible with G-Suite to create groups and share them among everyone?

Concerning my Google Administrator's Reporting tools, is there a way to see the actual Senders that send the most emails within a given time? For example, if I wish to see which Sender email addresses are sending many emails to my domain users, can I find that information? These are not necessarily spammers that I am looking for.

I know I can do it if I know the email address, though I would like to just see the bulk senders each day without already knowing the sender's address.

I ran across a gsuite setup that is confusing me as I have never run into it before. Which brings me to my question:

how many different ways can you configure gsuite for a domain corporate email account?

I just ran into a customer that has it setup so the email accounts are all under the gsuite admin gmail account called staff email accounts. Is this normal?

User can’t remember Gmail password BUT has the account working on a laptop

Eventually that laptop will die

Is it possible to add a forward all email to another address in the mean time to be covered for that eventuality ?

* totally impossible to retrieve password - we have tried everything !

Forward possible to a new gmail account and we will store password this time - it’s possible ? Without knowing password ?

When I tried to attach a few large video files in gmail, it auto-prompt to
attach via googledrive due to the size limitation:
after that the used quota became very high.

Meant to save the emails as draft for friends to access (ie sharing).

However, from my gmail, I could not locate the video files from the
draft/Sent folder.

Need to bring down the used quota of gmail: so how do I locate
those files in google drive to clear them away to free up space?
