I feel it would be helpful for the forum administrators to highlight your experience Makoto and make it a sticky that new users can read when they register, as it demonstrates how Google particularly is able to hide incoming mails without the user's knowledge.Makoto wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 11:15 am Yeah... I registered using my old gmail account, just to see what would happen. Gmail intercepted the registration confirmation email and placed it in the server-side spam folder so that my desktop email client would never notice and download it. I had to use the gmail app on my phone to read the mail and click on the link (and then move it to the inbox so I could download and archive it).
Do you use Imap at all? Is that why the server never shows the email to your desktop?
