    I didn't even know that was possible. That's scary as hell. I'd be totally screwed if my GMail were locked.

    Google really has to get over this "big brother" stuff. Seriously.

    ahkip,

    1. what were you using it for?
    2. How many emails did you send? Was it like over 1000 emails per day?
    3. Did you email them to that address?

    really, where have you seen this happen also?

    The only cases I've heard of is when people registered really lots of gmail account from the same ip at the same day.

    But I'm very curious and concerned to see how it goes and what caused it.. I think we all are, let see some more input on this ;)

    This is news to me, didn't know that google can actually lock you email accounts :(

    Fortunately, I have several gmail accounts for different purposes so I am not totally screwed if I get locked out of one.

    I guess you should read posts above :rolleyes: if the password is wrong it wouldn't redirected him to next page.

    Anyways That's strange! Though one of my accounts got locked by gmail more then a year back but there was a reason but Gmail locking down email account without any reason (we don't know maybe there is a reason) is not really a good idea by them. Keep us updated what they tell you about this lock down ahkip.

    THIS IS CRAP IT IS BLOCK AGAIN

    HERE IS THE MESSAGE

    4. Leaving multiple instances of your Gmail account open.
    5. Browser-related issues. Please note that if you find your browser continually reloading while attempting to access your Inbox, it’s probably a browser issue, and it may be necessary to clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

    May be someone tried to hack my account?
