Remove email address from suggestions in To field on Gmail (via: Web Applications Stack Exchange)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/08
Every once in a while, you have a wrong address in your GMail auto complete list (for instance when someone moved to another provider or you mistyped it).
This is how to delete it:
- Delete his email address from Other Contacts under Gmail Contacts.
- Reload Gmail and search your contacts for the email address to make sure you really got rid of it.

GMail is having email trouble: “Temporary Error (500)” with “Numeric Code: 21”
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/10/18
It seems quite a few people cannot access their GMail, but are able to access Plus, Contacts, Calendar, etc.
Only when accessing GMail, they get this:
Temporary Error (500)
We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes.If the issue persists, please visit the Gmail Help Center »Try Again Sign Out
It happened to me about 90 minutes ago.
After doing the obvious (making sure I have a fresh browser without plugins, logged off the Google account, cleared cookies, restarted the browser, have Google send me a new 2 factor login code to my phone), I followed the GMail Help Center link, then filed a ticket at the please let us know link.
Hopefully this gets resolved soon…

Getting hacked often involves social engineering and corporate policy flaws (involved: Apple, Amazon, GMail)
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/08/10
With more and more stuff being linked together in the cloud, getting hacked becomes increasingly more simple.
This time, it involved Amazon, Apple and GMail, some good knowledge on how the system works, and social engineering to sound trustworthy.
The goal was to get access to a 3-letter Twitter account, the collateral was someones digital life.
Lessons to learn from how Mat Homan got hacked:
- Make local backups often
- Use two-factor authentication
- Don’t have all your devices on “wipe from the cloud”
- Don’t bind your primary accounts together on the clouds
- Have distinct reset accounts for your primary accounts
- Make your primary accounts use a distinct name
Applause for Mat for coming forward on this. I know lots of people that wouldn’t.

About Gmail’s new look: a few comments
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/11/07
Not sure I really like the “all new” black and white look where all of the screen looks the same, so no emphasis on the things that really matter.
Over time, you won’t be able so switch back, so you have to adapt to the new look & feel, and try the options to make it work for you the best.
So far, I switched to the “Compacrt” view, and chose the “Blue” theme to make emphasis on the mail list/content.

gmail harmless error message when editing settings: “Your changes have not been saved. Discard changes?”
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/01/28
When you edit your gmail settings, recently you often get this message if you move the focus away from the settings pane:
Your changes have not been saved.
Discard changes?
The odd thing is that the settings are indeed saved just before you move the focus away.
So I always wondered if the message can be really ignored, and this thread confirms the message indeed is harmless.
I do still wonder why I get this message mostly in FireFox and Internet Explorer, but almost never in Chrome :-)

TIFF preview in GMail now works (was: GMail + TIFF = ? « Scientia potentia est « The Wiert Corner – Jeroen Pluimers’ irregular stream of Wiert stuff)
Posted by jpluimers on 2009/12/08
in GMail, TIFF preview suport has started working again!
Which means that I know can read incoming FAX messages in the preview window in stead of saving and viewing them in an external tool.
It probably means that the bug here is fixed:
