What happens if your Gmail account is blocked?
A friend of mine found that Google disabled his Gmail account. He cannot recall doing anything that could result in Google blocking his Gmail account.
I am sure Loren would be able to find a solution to this problem. But the question is… What problems are you going to face if Google blocks your Google Account?
For me, it is going to be very painful. I would lose a lot of data stored in Google Notebook, Gmail Chat history, Gmail itself and lots of other services I use which are connected to my personal Google Account.
I know I should not rely on Google for these important stuff. But in the last few years of spending my life online, I have realized that third party servers end up being more unreliable compared to Google’s own services.
If I was not on Google, I would have lost access to my email history a lot of times. I guess it’s time to get a new backup hard disk and put everything important on that!
Update: I am playing with this.
Sounds like a good idea. I dunno wat I’d do without my gmail account either. Nothing important but not that disposable either!
Never really thought about that, but now that I am thinking, even the thought horrifies me. It’s not what I already have on that account (that can be taken care of by regular backups), it is what will happen if I lose control on it. My Gmail in the centre of my online profile, and I really can’t imagine what I would do without it.
lost my gmail account to a hacker last year. took 4-5 days to get it back. posting on google forums, sending them mails and finally they said your account was restored. too much of a headache.
I think I lost it because of my orkut account. which is why I closed orkut. I’ve been using fastmail for 3+ years so all imp mails come there. my primary gmail account has 30k+ mails but I’ve backed it up on hdd(pop) and forward a copy to another gmail address.
hey dear, i orkut account is blocked. i want to knw due to that my gmail and yahoo account can get blocked.. because i am unable to use them..can it happen ..plzz help me out
What is captcha code?, pls provide me captcha code codes or plugin, Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.
One of my friend got same problem…today he opened his gmail and found the account is blocked….also orkut and all….please tell me, how can we solve that….
