It looks like Gmail has officially started blocking some Outlook accounts. It is said that the reason for this is a newly designed spam policy. Accordingly, e-mails sent by some Outlook users to their Gmail addresses are marked as spam and blocked immediately.
However, Microsoft made a detailed statement regarding the intense user complaints, published a comprehensive support document and said that they believed that they would solve the problem soon. Here are the most important details about the subject…
Is the competition between Gmail and Outlook heating up?
Company management claimed that the email addresses marked as spam had country domain names, so the relevant emails were blocked by Gmail due to some kind of location restriction. In fact, we can say that a measure designed to protect the security of users seriously harms the user experience. However, the exact cause of the problem is still not fully determined.
While Google refrained from making an official statement on the issue, it is claimed that the incident was caused by the company’s recent high-level security policy. It was said that the company, which chose such a method against increasing fraudulent activities, significantly reduced malicious e-mails. As a temporary solution, Microsoft recommended that users add an Outlook.com alias to their main account. However, it is currently unknown when a permanent solution will be offered.
Microsoft Store is getting a huge update!
Microsoft Store will experience a major performance increase on the Windows 11 platform as part of the major update it will receive.
