Gmail issues? Here's how to fix them

Despite their rarity, Gmail issues can come from both the user and Google. A bad internet connection, a forgotten password, or a configuration issue could be the user’s fault. On Google’s end, the website might not be accessible or might be having technical difficulties after an update.

Typical Gmail Errors and How to Fix Them

If the issue is on your end, it can usually be resolved quickly. If Google is the issue, there isn’t much you can do but wait for it to be fixed.

Here are some steps to take in order to determine what is wrong and potential solutions.

Use a supported web browser and Gmail. The most recent version of the browser you use is recommended for Gmail.
Turn off browser add-ons and extensions for the time being. Extensions and add-ons occasionally cause Gmail to malfunction. Alternately, open Gmail in incognito or private browsing mode to access it without any extensions active. If Gmail functions properly without any extensions active, enabling each one one at a time will help you identify the offending extension.
Delete the cookies and cache in the web browser. Formatting and loading problems can be resolved by clearing these items.
Check out the Google Workspace Status Dashboard. Check out the Status Dashboard to learn about any known problems that Gmail is currently having.

If Emails Are Missing

Check these settings if you haven’t received emails you were expecting, you aren’t getting any new ones, or emails that were in your inbox vanished.

The missing messages should be found. Look for the missing messages in your Trash, Spam, and All mail folders.
Look for addresses that are blocked. Check the Filters & Blocked Addresses tab under Settings > See All Settings to see if you accidentally blocked the missing messages. Search for filters that have the options “Delete It” or “Skip Inbox” and edit or delete any that prevent you from seeing the messages you want to see. To save any changes you’ve made, click Save Changes.
Investigate any forwarded addresses. Check the Forwarding & POP/IMAP > Forwarding section to see if a forwarding email address is included. If so, either disable the setting or choose to Mark Gmail’s Copy as Read or Keep Gmail’s Copy in the Inbox. To save any changes you’ve made, click Save Changes.

If Your Account Has Been Hacked

Someone may have hacked your Gmail account if you discover unusual activity in your email account or experience persistent login issues. Immediately make your account secure.

Check for the following:

contacts alerting you that your Gmail account has been used to send spam.
changes to settings for automatic replies, mail forwarding, and delegation of mail.
Filters or blocked email addresses that you didn’t set up.
emails that disappeared mysteriously.

If prompted, go to the Google Account Security page and log in.
To look for suspicious activity, click Recent Security Activity.
If you see any activity that you did not carry out, click No It Wasn’t Me. Then, adhere to the instructions to protect your account.
Your Devices, click, then click If you notice any device listed that is not yours and has logged into your Google account, click Don’t Recognize a Device. To secure your account, adhere to the steps.
