Why is my Gmail not receiving emails?
If your Gmail account is not receiving emails, there could be a number of reasons why. Here are a few common issues and their solutions:
- Check your spam folder: Sometimes legitimate emails can be filtered into the spam folder. Check your spam folder to see if the missing emails are there. If they are, you can mark them as "Not Spam" to ensure that they appear in your inbox in the future.
- Check your filters: Check to see if you have any filters set up that may be automatically moving emails to a different folder. Go to "Settings" > "Filters" to review your filters.
- Check your email forwarding settings: If you have set up email forwarding, check to see if the forwarding address is correct and that forwarding is enabled.
- Check your storage limit: Gmail offers a limited amount of storage, and if you have exceeded that limit, you may not be able to receive new emails. Check your storage usage in "Settings" > "Storage" to see if you need to delete old emails or purchase additional storage.
- Check with the sender: The sender may have entered your email address incorrectly or their email may have been bounced back as undeliverable. Ask the sender to double-check the email address they used to send the email.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to seek further assistance from Gmail technical support.
