Windows 10: Mail no longer displays Gmail account, but seems to recognize it.

DeRavenSey · Jul 14, 2018

I did Windows Update 13 July 2018. Today the Mail app no longer displays my gmail account. Windows LIve account is visible but not gmail. I tried removing and then adding Gmail account again but Gmail still does not show up on the accounts list. I can log into google directly and access gmail, but right now I cannot use Mail to access my gmail account. HELP!

:)

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.

Yahoo mail - alternative accounts

Create a gmail account and use it to verify your yahoo account.

Sounds promising, I have a Gmail account. How do I verify the Yahoo account using it ?

I have sent several Gmails to john @yahoo.com, but all I get are mail failure emails back saying the account is not available. I also did this with OE a few times with the same result.

Why `o why can`t Yahoo be more explicit in their instructions. I am no dummy, but I give in on this one.
