Gmail problem

last night i was told by a friend that emails being sent to my gmail were being bounced back , user name doesnt exist , i tried mailing myself from a bt account , worked ok until i tried to reply to the reply , then got bounced back , set up a new gmail, friend had same problem with mails , so set up new gmail theirselves , this seems to be ok so far , but has anyone else had this problem? and is it just a temp glitch?

  • If you go into gmail online, log into your account and select settings. Then go to the 'Account' tab and check to see if you have 'Reply-to address' set up. This could be causing the problem if it's wrong.

    I'm with Plusnet and they are receiving reports of problems with Google Mail,specifically redirects .They say that are reports in various Forums of problems .One suggestion seems to be to change googlemail to gmail in all settings .This is what I have always done anyway since I got my GMail account

    Yes I am on Googlemail (gmail) and replied to an email from a friend who is also on Googlemail last night and I got the same error message - user not known. But then I tried again immediately afterwards and it worked fine. I guess it was just a temporary glitch...
