gmail not working

[RonJohnSilver]

This concerns Gmail not this site particularly. When I go to gmail, I get a screen that tells me I have to have an AI account. I don't want one but I can't get past it. Thoughts?

I couldn't duplicate what you're indicating, but when I tried to get to my gmail account that I never use google was gonna force me to create a new account and the email address would be my default and would be the default for everything connected to google in some way or another which is a lot of other companies as well. So I backed out of it since I'm fine with using a yahoo email address.

I haven’t tried this, but from my Proton email account there’s an option to include emails from other providers.

I had to abandon my Gmail years ago due to the high volume of junk. My iPhone comes with an iCloud email, but Proton is better.

I don’t know if that helps?

Other than huge amounts of junk mail, I have been having no difficulty with Gmail.

Sounds what was happening with me. Their info site said that they were rolling out a new AI something today or yesterday. I may switch to Yahoo but then they'll likely make a similar move. I can see how the AC will use this to dominate everything. No cash and no way to get past their 'gatekeepers' so no transactions. We knew it was coming, here it is.

OK, I'm now set up with Yahoo. I'm still registered on this forum under the gmail address. We'll see.
