Your Gmail may not be receiving emails due to several common reasons:
- Insufficient storage space: If your Google account storage is full (across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos), you cannot receive new emails until space is freed up or additional storage is purchased.
- Email filters and forwarding: Filters or forwarding settings might be misconfigured, causing emails to be sent to other folders, marked as spam, or even deleted automatically.
- Spam filtering: Legitimate emails can be mistakenly flagged as spam and moved to the spam folder.
- Connectivity issues: A poor or unstable internet connection can prevent new emails from being retrieved successfully.
- Gmail server or account issues: Occasional Gmail outages or problems with account configurations can cause email reception problems.
To troubleshoot, it is advised to check your Gmail storage usage, review and delete any filters or blocked addresses, look in the spam and trash folders, verify forwarding settings, and ensure a stable internet connection. Additionally, checking Google's Workspace Status Dashboard can confirm if Gmail is experiencing outages.
