I bought a cheap tablet for my husband who plays games only on it. Our son, and I, send him the occasional email, but nothing has come through since early March.
Where else would we look, other than gmail for these emails.
I myself use an iPad which I like, but it was expensive.
How much would I need to spend to buy him an iPad... which I thought would be more complicated than an android, but I'm beginning to think that an iPad is easier.
Any other tips. I'm not particularly tech savvy colin433 - 2021-04-17 13:02:00 |
| 2 | You will only get emails into the Gmail app if you sent them to his Gmail address or if the app is configured to pick up emails from a different address. Did it ever previously receive emails? Have you checked the spam folder ? Getting him an iPad may not make any difference to the email issue. Ipads vary in cost substantially.

| 3 | wow, thank you for that nice lady. I don't think he uses his tablet enough to warrant spending that amount of money.
I didn't mention that emails were coming into his tablet until sometime in March, having purchased it in December last year.
Is there something we could have done accidentally that has stopped them coming in. Not that he gets many, but our son sometimes sends him one, with pictures, of stuff he thinks his father would be interested. (He doesn't know his father very well, the subjects are not of his genre whatsoever) colin433 - 2021-04-18 10:23:00 |
| 4 | So did you check the spam folder?
Also try sending one to him from that tablet. Ie: send himself an email.
Let us know how you get on; does it send?
Did it receive? Any error messages? nice_lady - 2021-04-18 10:28:00 |

| 6 | Yeah but that would/should throw up an error... Edited by nice_lady at 11:28 am, Sun 18 Apr nice_lady - 2021-04-18 11:27:00 |
| 7 | OP, who's his email provider?, gmail, yahoo, xtra .. etc?. |

gmail, and there is an icon for that.
I'm so dumb regarding the tablet that I probably can't find the spam folder. I checked the prices of iPads, and wow, it took my breath away. I must have bought mine when it was on special. paid just under $1000 for a 9plus inch model.
I can justify owning it....it seldom gets turned off before 2am and averages 10 hours daily use. HE, on the other hand, is fixated on 'hearts' and hardly uses it for anything else. HOW BORING!!! colin433 - 2021-04-19 09:51:00 |

gmail.
I wouldn't have a clue how to access the spam folder on that gadget. On my iPad it's easy colin433 - 2021-04-19 09:53:00 |
