Gmails Won't Send

[jno]

I frequently get an error message when trying to send a Gmail, specially if it's replying to one:

"Oops... a server error occurred and your email was not sent. (#007)"

Just over the last month or so, and apparently at random. It won't save these emails as drafts, either.

Anyone know what's happening, or what I might do about it? (I have Hotmail and other email accounts but would prefer to use Gmail.)

There are various suggestions here, including:
(a) simply log out of Gmail and log back in again ;
(b) clear the cache and cookies from your browser ; and
(c) if you're using Internet Explorer, use a different browser

Perhaps trying each of them might lead you to a solution?

sorry, should have said I'm on Firefox and Windows 7 Pro. I have been for years (obviously) but this problem is very recent.

Logging out and clearing the cache make no difference (my history clears automatically when I leave Firefox).

However, I tried switching to IE and that solved the problem of the most recent email. Maybe that's the way forward, but I still wish I knew what was causing the problem.

Thanks for the advice; it worked in reverse.

I am NOT wearing a mask

[netibiza]

Have we moved here before any of you read my huge post on t'other page??
I am wearing a mask as am so used it now it's part of life!

I've been wearing the same mask for 5 months now... it's maybe half an hour once or twice a week and any viruses on it will have died of old age long ago.

Another blood test today because apparently hospital 2 didn't include the things hospital 1 was looking for. Tomorrow is blood transfusion and maybe an iron infusion. OH collapsed the day after last having an iron infusion - it was at hospital 2, so I don't know if hospital 1 will know about it. Perhaps OH will remember to mention it. Ideally I'd be doing the driving but I have to be at home supervising a workman on the roof.

Good morning...I'm not very techie but I can shop online at great speed.
Sunny breezy day and the grass is green and riz. Good luck to your OH today jno. Blood transfusion, ugh, very tedious but it gives you a lovely pink glow.

I hate wearing a mask, I feel suffocated but needs must. Not very flattering are they?

Yes neti, I read every word.

[netibiza]

Bless you my Robi!
Good luck to OH jno not a lot of fun. I'm so used to wearing masks I forget to take them off when I am home until MrN reminds me.
Very hot again but I have walked to village to have a coffee and buy a couple of things. Being with MrN 24/7 drives me a little crazy so sometimes just not used to it!

[netibiza]

I actually wash the masks, they sat not too but we get through a lot. I dont add bleach as I dont want to inhale it!

[jno]

OH's transfusion has got lost. More sitting and waiting in a hospital for a few hours, wearing a mask of course, and not in a good mood.

[woofgang]

argh Jno. I hope you get sorted soon.

Morning all
I'm sanitised from head to toe and wearing my mask....mumble mumble :)
That's a nuisance Jno. I hope they sort you out pdq.
Nice to see you Robinia. I hope your itching is subsiding. I like the warm weather but it's been a bit too warm even for me. My gammy leg and foot swelled alarmingly recently in the heat. Not wearing those socks didn't help but couldn't bear them in the heat.I'm now wearing one sock which looks silly but can't be helped and the swelling has gone down.
Bright and breezy here. KBO.

this is odd. I've had an email from Allianz saying I'm due a refund for event cancellation insurance, and as I was prevented from going to the event by Covid, I'm entitled to my money back.

It sounds like some sort of scam, but the email looks genuine (it's come via Ticketmaster), and what's more, I did have cancellation insurance to see Rod Stewart. But that was last December, and wasn't cancelled, and we went and had a great time.

Anyway, I don't have to do anything, £10 will just appear in my bank account. All rather unusual.

On Monday I had an email from the Passsport office saying it would take 8 weeks to get my new one. Today it's on its way!

[netibiza]

Ha jno that happened to hija just after lockdown. She arrived with no problem on a Vueling flight, then 2 months later she got a bigger refund for her cancelled flight which wasnt!

some good is coming of Covid after all.
