I just tried to sign in to my gmail account and get: 24 hours without my account are they crazy? If this happens to a few hundred million people, the first thing these people will do when Facebook brings out their new email service, is switch!!! Ridiculous...
Perhaps there is some malware on your PC that sends emails Also if you use gmail for business you may use paid version, problems should be solved much quickly
Absolutely correct! It was locked down as stated: unusual activity! Your account got attacked and Google protected the system and you! This is a good thing.
You are right. Probably malewares on your pc sending emails. Get your pc malware first and then check. Rather you should thank Google for protecting your personal information.
just think that if google has not done it in that way, you could have lost your account. You should thanks to google for the action and just be patient for the right time.
Of course it sucks being cut off one's email account for 24h but the bright side is you know something is messing with your account. However if you are messing with google.... well then you will probably have to get another account. Anyhow hope everything works out for the best .
to be honest i heard this happening to someone for the very first time anyways, i think its a good thing to disable account for a small time just to reduce any malware or spamming occuring which can effect other users as well you will get you account back keep us updating
I never had this happen with gmail, but I was interested in your facebook comment. If facebook email works anything like their other features, I wouldn't expect it to be any better than gmail. Facebook has more privacy problems than most so I would be concerned about their email service.
i know it sucks, but just look at the positive side. Google was protecting your account for unusual activity.. had it not disabled your access to your email, worst things could have happened.
I've seen it happen to people I know. Like other users have suggested, check your PC for malware. Once you're absolutely sure your PC is clean, change your Google Account password. Chances are someone stole your login information (something along the lines of a Nigerian scammer) and you had a mass of emails sent out that ended up being filtered for spam.
It has happen 2 times with me. In my case, Google automatic software blocked my blogspot blog due to unusual activity and I got the above message. But google give the option to recover your account by verifying via your mobile phone. So check for this option. I got my account within minute by the process.
