I'm back - and mighty pi**ed

[Vik]

I'm back fellas, with a new email address. Why? Because my hotspur.vik
account has been disabled, I don't know why and Google don't give a
flying f*ck as they won't respond to any of my emails or form
submissions. It's been a full week now with no access and almost
certainly my 18 months of correspondence has gone.

So pissed off. No more the Google fanboy.

SUrely they will tell you why it was disabled? Not spam, I hope?

Nope, no info at all. Probably spam-related, but I'm certainly not a
spammer - I rarely send more than a dozen emails per week, and rarely
any to more than 2 or 3 recipients. I just can't get any response other
than automated ones.

I was briefly encouraged by the following response:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello,

Your Gmail account has been disabled due to a technical issue. Our
engineers are working diligently to find a solution so that you can
regain
access to your account.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for
your patience during our limited test of Gmail.

Sincerely,

The Google Team
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However, when I emailed again from a yahoo address regarding a
completely made-up gmail account name, I got the same response. Clearly
nobody reads the emails.

To be fair, I got this same message, and it was eventually resolved.

Fuzzy, how long were you unable to access for? Did you get the same
error as me (see screenshot)?

I was unable to do anything for about 3 1/2 days.

I don't recall if it was exactly the same, but the gist was the same.

Something similar happen to me. I got an error message requiering me to
check my computer for virus. I did check my computer for viruses,
nothing shown. I was freaking out.
I was using Firefox, then I got another message saying that an
computarized system was trying to acces my account and I should
manually typed the letters shown below, I did typed it with no succes,
then I opened IE to acces my gmail and I din't have no problem,
switched back to Firefox and I got the same error message. Long story
short and after many tries to figured out what the problem was, I
decided to unistalled "Google Sync" after that I could acces my gmail
account with no problem. I unistalled "Google Sync" from my other
computer and I haven't used "Google Sync'' since then. I don't have any
problem accesing my gmail from Firefox since then.

I tried to get google sync to work, but all I ever got was an error
saying that too many components were selected. But even when I selected
fewer components, I got the same error. I finally uninstalled the
extension and things are working for me as well.
