That's good news, I'll check it out! Thank you.
A note to those of you who have gmail and an Apple product:
As some of you know I've changed my email address due to Gmail being inaccessible for me. Please change my email address if you need to contact me, that is, to gvinesc@wildblue.net, which is what I'm using now. It is actually an old account. It works, however.
I had the Gmail account first. I got an I phone. Everything was wonderful. I canceled bellsouth and on that very day Gmail went down for me. First online and then on the IPHone. It says my password or login is incorrect. Apparently there are tons of people with this problem and there is no solution.
You can elect to reset the password using the "Security Questions." The question you are asked is "temporary question." That's the question. It's not a question, it asks: "temporary question," so unless you recall the security question you used originally you're sunk. How would you answer this question? Temporary question_____________ fill in the answer. It's like a mad house.
There is no one to talk to or with, nobody to write. One of my phone providers DID give me the phone number of gmail and it was a woman in Ireland whose phone rang two rings at a time and whose very cross announcement kept saying enter your...something like source code. Turned out it was for administrators, so there is a human somewhere behind it, but you can't get help.
Then you can elect to send off for another password. Here's what happens: (1) If you don't select the default email address you signed up with, for your protection you get to jump thru a million hoops. You get to fill out a long long form, list 5 people you've been corresponding with and 4 of your folders, and a million other things, and send it off.
A day later you get a cordial form automatic letter to which you can't respond, reassuring and giving you instructions. No password, just instructions, and you guessed it the instructions take you to the page where you can give the famous security question or you can email again, the same route, after supplying all the info again wanted.
Around and around you go.
It's like a fun house. There are help forums and you can see quite a few people have had this problem, some of the moderators say you may never regain the email account, and now somebody who seems to be posting from their end says there IS an issue with Apple, the I Phone and they are working on it.
I liked Gmail. I had the account for some time. Now that I have the I Phone and have canceled bellsouth, neither password works. I don't know which one is at fault. I had not thought of the I Phone/ Apple connection until they mentioned it in the help forums themselves. I had written the passwords down (I've come to do that lately, there are so many) and I know they are correct, and now that account and the emails in it are lost to me.
I guess the moral is, if you have gmail and you have changed the original email you signed up with, be sure to change that setting the minute you cancel the account or even before while you still can get in, or you may never be able to access that account again.
As for me, I'll keep trying to get whatever's on gmail, but wildblue works just fine, and like bellsouth was, there are real people to talk to who will help. Of course Gmail is free and they are not. The I Phone guy himself suggested changing my mail and now everything works like a charm. I hate I will never see that Gmail account or those letters or get them back again but I would also never trust gmail again after this.
Just FYI.
