Any email sent to my gmail is getting permanently bounced. Says my email does not exist at gmail.

Now think about if some gmail accounts got Thanos snapped out of existence. What kind of digital death would that be as you would NEVER be able to recover your accounts, at least for most people who don't have 2FA.

An interesting problem - I have a gmail address, and also one on my personal domain (which uses g-suite for email). The personal domain's backup is a gmail address, and the gmail's backup is my personal domain. When I set that up ages ago, I genuinely never thought about what happens if gmail itself implodes.

I guess I'm setting up a... icloud??? backup email for a bunch of stuff shortly.

Yep, another here too. Weird really weird when both emails have existed with this forwarding scheme for over 2 years.

Seeing the same. Even email from Google f̶o̶r̶ ̶̶w̶o̶r̶k̶g̶r̶o̶u̶p̶s̶ workspace to gmail is having issues.

It's inconsistent for me, I've had two failures and one success in quick succession
