Gmail logging in problems

[Oneeyedvic]

I have a couple of different gmail accounts but can only log into one of them.

I have tried temporarily turning off my firewall, putting down gamil as a trusted site, clearing my cache and temporary files, downloaded files etc.

It seems weird that I can log in using one account but not another. Have sent off an email to gmail and tried all the things they sugegst but to no avail.

I keep getting stuck on the 'loading' screen

Any suggestions?

Suggest you look here if using G-mail

http://www.google-watch.org/

See "Creepy GMail"

Seems Google scan every word in incoming and outgoing emails to provide targetted advertising to you.

They also keep FOR EVER every email you ever send or receive.

Happy about that ?

Can't say it bothers me - none of my emails are interesting anyway ;-)

And if you can let me know of a company that won't be keeping your records for 5 years under proposed anti terror guidelines, I would be interested.

vehelpfulguy: that is just the same spiel used when GMail was launched.

Do you really think hotmail and the likes DONT read your stuff? Google don't have thousands of employees actually reading your stuff, its all done by computer these days. And at any rate, all your intetnet traffic is routed through your ISP, which not only can get all your data you're sending and receiving, but also knows your name, address, date of birth, etc. Don't be paranoid about Gmail.

And I disagree that they keep all your mail forever. They'll keep it for as long as you have it (i.e. while you yourself haven't deleted it), or until it goes out of their cache (which may be a while, a matter of months perhaps, given the current size of their redundant distributed OS)

I've been using gmail since the first week or two that it came out, and it is the best email app i've ever used. knocks the socks off any other email web app.

Well, I must confess that although I was happy with Gmail - i will no longer be using them.

Despite me sending them an email explaining that I could access one of my accounts but not he other, they still say it is my firewall!

Oh well - another webmail company here I come.

Gmail have indeed sent me an email now giving me some help - not rectified the problem yet, but will post back.

All forgiven with gmail - they have got me up and running again :-)
