Windows 10: gmail with windows 10 mail app sent email disappears

Martin00 · May 28, 2020

I have configured windows 10 mail application with my google email address.

I sent a mail. I got an acknowledgement email back in reply, but the sent email has disappeared. Its not in sent mail, sent items, or all mail.

I've also checked on mail.google.com directly.

The email had attachments. I've noticed recently if there are attachments its a bit flaky. Previously it got stuck sending forever. To solve that, I deleted the gmail configured account in mail, and re-added. This time it sent in 2 seconds, but as I say there is no trace of the sent email.

I'm running Windows 10 1909 OS build 18363.836

Kind Regards

Martin

Gmail - Getting mails not exactly sent to me

Well this is quite an old gmail bug that has existed for as long as I can remember, the important thing is whether the other person is also getting your email(s) *Wink

For this very reason alone I've not signed up to any banking or other important services using gmail as my primary account (I use outlook/hotmail) & from what I know this bug won't be fixed anytime soon

No one else is getting anyone's mail because of this... It is NOT a bug.
It is intentional. All those addresses belong to you, no matter where the dot.

Quoted from GMail help:

Sometimes you may receive a message sent to an address that looks like yours but has a different number or arrangement of periods. While we know it might be unnerving if you think someone else's mail is being routed to your account, don't worry: both of these addresses are yours.
Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

L: homerjsimpson@gmail.com = L: hom.er.j.sim.ps.on@gmail.com

L: homerjsimpson@gmail.com = L: HOMERJSIMPSON@gmail.com

L: homerjsimpson@gmail.com = L: Homer.J.Simpson@gmail.com

All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You'll still go to your account.
If you get mail that seems to be intended for someone else, it's likely that the sender entered the wrong address, just like if you've ever dialed a wrong phone number for someone. In these cases, we suggest contacting the original sender or website when possible to alert them to the mistake.
One last thing: Google Apps does recognize dots. If you'd like to have a dot in your username, please ask your domain administrator to add your preferred username as a nickname.

Test it... send yourself an email with no dot in your name.

Emails sent with Pdf attachments do not appear with the pdf attachment in the Windows 10 mail app. the email shows but the attachment is missing. This happens for every email picked up from gmail with the default gmail account type and also manual configuration
of a gmail account. Is this a known issue? Is there anywhere to see a list of bugs for the Mail app?
