gmail and btinternet

[DracoM]

Is there any evidence that btinternet can / does blocks gmail emails without any apparent action or consent by btinternet owner?

Is the implication here that messages sent to your gmail account are not turning up?

You have activated/added the gmail account in your Mail app on your computer/phone/whatever, haven't you?

(I'm not a BT Internet user, so can offer no specific answer to your query, but that's just a thought!)

Well, I THINK I have.
Am awaiting response from a particular poster to test my clumsy management of my own communications net.......!!

I make very limited use of gmail. I've read in magazines that gmail isn't structured / doesn't work in the way of most email services but I couldn't re-
iterate why. I know a peripatetic lawyer who vowed never to work in an organisation using gmail for its communication as they found it so frustrating.

That's as much as I need to know - On that basis, I use outlook.com.

Gmali may have problems, but are any other services any better? You mention outlook.com - basically a Microsoft outfit as I recall - so it's perhaps as bad, but just in different ways.

What I don't like about gmail is that I'm pretty sure it "reads" all one's outgoing email - maybe the incoming ones too - and then adverts start to appear in other apps which seem strangely related to emails recently sent or received. Of course Google would never pass on or misuse private data - just like all the other big IT companies.

It's an alternative of merely mailing google with your info + request for future directed adverts - works the same way as Google + possibly its intended recipient get to read it Google is the only one guaranteed to base future actions on it.

I use Google as little as possible, but I do have btinternet accounts, plus a futurequest address for for3 stuff. That's no problem, so btinternet doesn't operate some sort of exclusionary policy. And it receives gmail, so I doubt the problem is with btinternet.

I avoid Google*, YouTube, Amazon and Facebook.

Using a Mac, I cannot avoid Apple.

I have BT Internet Broadband - no complaints. (But helpful people keep ringing me from untraceable numbers to tell me of problems about to happen to it. )

* DuckDuckGo works fine for me as a search engine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27...20of%20conduct.

"Don't be evil" is a phrase used in Google 's corporate code of conduct, which it also formerly preceded as a motto . Following Google's corporate restructuring under the conglomerate Alphabet Inc. in October 2015, Alphabet took "Do the right thing" as its motto, also forming the opening of its corporate code of conduct.

That motto + its sentiment disappeared when Google went public - please tell me of any American corporation that has the merest trace of a social conscience - they are it seems 'compelled' by law to seek the maximum return for their investors and USA law has very few protection for Americans let alone non-Americans caught in their clutches. I too try to avoid Google - its business is privacy violation - but too many assume wrongly that by using a long spoon they can sup with the devil.
