Title: Help with gmail
Post by: Admiral Yi on November 27, 2012, 08:45:53 PM
So I set up a gmail account, and got a confirmation back from a couple places that I had reset my email address on their sites.  So apparently it is working.

But the one lady at work I sent an email too about the change (twice) has not received it.  Is there some trick to sending messages in gmail?  This whole browser based email thing is stumping me.

Have her check the spam folder.

Check your sent mail.  If your email is in there, gmail sent it.  What happened when it hit her email server, who knows.  But DG's guess is probably the most likely.

edit: if it's not in your sent mail, check your drafts.  Gmail is really just like any other email system once you get accustomed to the interface, particularly the buttons.

This time I got a reply.

Don't know why it didn't work the first time.  :hmm:
