Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE soon has anyone else had ales similar message

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Which mobile network and who was the message from? Sounds fraudulent to me. My recent message from O2 is a prize draw for two Girls Aloud tickets. I won't be entering!

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

It’s not a fraudulent message it’s genuine

That's totally different to the message the OP has. Gmail will always be accessable from an android phone. It will also be available through Google. on any phone.

As usual with Ken W we have no idea what the message actually said or where it was from. All we get is what he percieves it means.

Any comment is just guesswork really.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

I’ll be willing to bet you it’s exactly the same thing. And that the the op hasn’t framed the original message with all details

I’ll stand by comments thanks

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Oh I agree that Ken W hasn't framed the original message with all details, that's par for the course for him. Getting the actual message from him and the detail is like extracting hen's teeth.

Your link just details that Gmail will be unavailble via Outlook and I suspect, like you, that is the message he's recieved.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

If you do not use GMail or Outlook it will not affect you

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Most people use either, or both…

Could you cut and paste the actual message you received, please, to enable clarity?

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

No

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

OK, then - could you please re-type the message you received (in full) on to the Forum?

Also, how did you receive it - email, text message, on your phone, your PC, your tablet?

Who was it from?

If email, what email system?

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Do you mean the thing about Outlook.com no longer being able to access Gmail? As you will still obviously be able to access Gmail directly.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

I don't use Outlook even though I have an old @msm.com addy.I use Gmail and it will not affect me. I can stll access my @msn.com emails via Gmail (they are automatically forwarded to there.

So please do as requested and give us the full details of what you've recieved as you clearly don't have a clue what the message is or isn't telling you.

It is a function of the Samgsung galaxy hand set, it is not a email

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Which model samsung galaxy, and what Android version?

Update - after a bit of searching, it's as Mr M said earlier - they are just bringing in tighter verification/security, so as long as people have the latest version of the app on their phone/tablet, there shouldn't be an issue...

This is up there in terms of cryptic Cable Forum threads! :D

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

So really only affects those using Outlook to access Gmail. Not any kind off issue if you use the gmail app already for accessing it.

Also not a feature of Samsung Galaxy devices. It's something being done by Microsoft.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

As I said earlier, he hasn't a clue what the message is telling him. It can't be a function of the Samsung Galaxy handset as neither I or any other Galaxy user has reported anything near this rubbish.

Totally Clueless!

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Infuriating for some maybe, but if someone struggles with this kind of thing and obviously is not being a pain on purpose. Then a little more understanding a patience is needed. :)

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Except he is being a pain on purpose. Been asked more than once to share the message and point blank refused.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

See Stephen's post above.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Yeah maybe. I find a lot of his posts are very similar as in hard to understand so I can't say it's on purpose or not.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

So it is real, well sort of. Due to new security from Microsoft apparently Gmail accessed through outlook will no longer work.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Dont bother asking for help if thats going to be your attitude.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

All it says Gmail and Outlook, if you do not use them it will not affect you .

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

I’m sure it says more than that, as in actuality, you can use them if you upgrade the app (as previously explained, repeatedly).

People on the forum want to help, but you have to help us help you, by providing adequate information…

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

It was not an email or a Text.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Could it be under notifications ? If so and you can find itn,pressing it should bring up the details

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Only partly true in that Gmail will not be accessable via Outlook unless you upgrade. Gmail will always be accessable on an android (Google system)phone.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

Hopefully this is just outlook.com and not the Android Outlook app where I access my Gmail from.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

I know that my nephew collects his mail on his phone, I wonder it that will be affected

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

I use Gmail and I have no trouble getting my email plus I have a Windows PC and an iPhone and iPad.

My only issue is remembering passwords.

Re: Had a message on my mobile saying that Gmail and OUTLOOK WILL BE UN AVAILABLE
 

I recommend a good password manager like Bitwarden, I only need to remember the password for that if I dont use a fingerprint.

Having said that I tried to explain to my parents how simple easy and convenient it is but it was too complicated for her so she's gone back to writing them down on paper in code.
