Has anyone had problems with messages not getting through to your Gmail account? I don’t have any specific proof, but there are a few people whom I’ve written to recently, and haven’t replied for longer than I expected. One person wrote to me saying “I wrote to you last week but it didn’t get through” - I replied to get more detail (e.g. how he knows it didn’t get through) but - you guessed it - he hasn’t replied to that. Yes, I’ve checked the spam folder, it’s not there. It could just be timing, but I’m starting to get slightly paranoid.
It’s been working fine for me.
Are you sure the problem is on your end? Are the senders using Hotmail perhaps? They have been having issues lately.
I second the hotmail issue. Hotmail doesn’t seem to like gmail accounts.
No complaints so far.
I have heard stories of some people not being entirely happy with Gmail, but apart from the very occasional error message (which resolves itself with a refresh), I’ve encountered no problems. Lost no emails that I know about.
I’ve had no problems at all with gmail, but I’ll third the Hotmail issues. I still have a Hotmail account that I write to my parents with, and often I’ll write to them two or three times in a week, wonder why they haven’t written, and get an e-mail from them asking me if everything’s okay, since they haven’t heard from me in a week or so. It happens at least once a month for me, and has been happening to me with Hotmail only for several years. It wasn’t always this frequent, but it did happen.
Check if your contacts are using Hotmail.
No GMail problems to report here either. Reallly I had rather expected a few probs, it being still in beta, but it is fine. Now, Hotmail, on the other hand, believes in its very own circle of hell. It *used" to work, but for months now, it is jsut not worth the hassle.
I use Gmail back & forth throughout the day with my GF who also uses Gmail. Occasionally an E-mail will arrive a few hours later than it was sent, but that seems to be the only problem I’ve come across.
