How to ensure mail delivery in gmail

To ensure mail delivery in Gmail, follow these steps:

  1. Check your email address: Make sure you're using a valid and recognized email address. If you're using a custom domain email address, ensure that the domain is properly set up and configured.
  2. Verify your email address: Go to your Gmail account settings (gear icon > See all settings) and click on the "Accounts and Import" tab. Look for the "Verify your address" section and follow the instructions to verify your email address.
  3. Check your spam filter settings: Go to your Gmail account settings (gear icon > See all settings) and click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab. Ensure that your spam filter is set to "Low" or "Medium" to allow more emails to reach your inbox.
  4. Whitelist senders: If you're having trouble receiving emails from specific senders, try whitelisting them by adding their email addresses to your "Allowed senders" list. You can do this by going to your Gmail account settings (gear icon > See all settings) and clicking on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  5. Check your email client settings: If you're using an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to access your Gmail account, ensure that the settings are correct and configured properly.
  6. Check your internet connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and working properly. A slow or unreliable internet connection can cause email delivery issues.
  7. Check your Gmail account settings: Go to your Gmail account settings (gear icon > See all settings) and check the following settings:
    • Less secure apps: Ensure that this setting is turned off, as it can affect email delivery.
    • Two-factor authentication: Ensure that this setting is turned off, as it can cause issues with email delivery.
    • Forwarding and POP/IMAP: Ensure that these settings are configured correctly to allow emails to be delivered to your Gmail account.
  8. Check for email delivery issues: Use the Gmail troubleshooting tool to check for any email delivery issues. You can do this by going to your Gmail account settings (gear icon > See all settings) and clicking on the "Troubleshooting" tab.
  9. Contact your email provider: If you're still experiencing issues with email delivery, contact your email provider (e.g., your internet service provider or email hosting company) to see if there are any issues on their end.
  10. Check your email client's settings: If you're using an email client, check its settings to ensure that it's configured correctly to access your Gmail account.

By following these steps, you should be able to ensure that your emails are delivered successfully to your Gmail account.
