    Gmail Woes

    So as of last Friday I haven't been receiving any emails from my Gmail account.
    I've tried most things that I can think of but I'm at a lose as to how to fix it or even why it's happened.
    I've googled but anything I've tried hasn't worked.
    Please can someone help as it's doing my head right in.

    A bit more information would help...

    Do you mean on your phone or tablet?

    What happens if you use the webmail portal for gmail?

    What happens when you send an email from the web portal to yourself?

    What happens when you send an email from the web portal to someone else?

    How many other accounts have you sent test mails from to your gmail account?

    And were there any error messages?

    Are you using the standard xxxx@gmail.com format or a personal domain?

    So if you go here https://mail.google.com/ can you login and see the email?

    Rob.

    Yes on my phone using app. Mobile version and desktop version.
    No emails received from Friday.
    I receive emails I send myself but haven't tried sending out. I rarely send emails anyway.
    Don't think it's gonna make a difference by sending a test to my Gmail account because I know for a fact emails have been sent to me but I'm not getting them.
    Clearly there has been some setting changed or god knows what. Not by me though.
    Coincidently Tapatalk isn't loading up either, I'm having to use the desktop version on my phone to type this. I'm getting the Tapatalk notifications though.

    Not sure if I have misunderstood - but have you tried on a computer rather than a mobile device?

    It’s any error message that the sender receives that we are interested in.

    Also for clarity

    Do you mean you have tried the desktop version on your mobile, on a pc, or on both?

    If you would like to pm me your email I will send a test message to check for error messages.

    I'm getting nothing. It's just like my account has stopped working. So all previous emails are there but nothing being received from Friday night.
    No pc in the house. I'll download the app onto my tablet and try that but I honestly think it's a Gmail thing rather than a device issue.

    Just try logging in via a normal web browser on a PC and see what's there.

    Out of interest does Gmail still offer unlimited storage on its accounts? As I never usually delete any emails so would it be possible my account is full?

    Think I might have answered my own question. Just noticed the banner across the top of the desktop version saying I can't send or receive emails as I'm out of storage 🙈
    A feel like a right plonker now although you think they would somehow let you know this as I do everything from my phone using apps.

    Google allows 15GB for free so either get deleting or sign yor life away for more storage

    It's basically taken me roughly 16 years to use that storage up 🙄 which is why that thought didn't cross my mind.

    All sorted. Bought more storage. Quickest and easiest option.
    Thanks for prompting me to log on using another method otherwise I never would have known I was out of storage.

    Thanks for this, prompted me to check my gmail limit and usage.
