GMAIL Fix New Email Not Showing Up on Top OR At ALL (Hidden Lost Important Primary Mail Search)
If new emails in Gmail are not showing up at the top or not appearing at all, here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
1. Check the Inbox Type Setting
Gmail offers different inbox types. Ensure you're using the correct one:
Go to Settings gear icon in the top-right corner.
Select See all settings.
Under the Inbox tab, check your Inbox type.
Default: Emails are sorted by time.
PriorityStarred first: Emails may appear differently.
2. Search for Missing Emails
Use the search bar at the top of Gmail.
Type keywords like the sender's name, subject, or even in:all to search all folders, including spam and trash.
3. Check Filters and Labels
Go to Settings - Filters and Blocked Addresses.
Ensure no filters are automatically archiving or skipping the inbox.
Also, check if emails are being mislabeled or sent to specific folders.
4. Check for Spam or Trash
Look in the Spam or Trash folders to see if emails are being mistakenly categorized there.
5. Clear or Refresh Gmail Cache
If you're using Gmail in a browser, clear your browser's cache and cookies.
Alternatively, refresh Gmail by pressing Ctrl + F5 or using another browser.
6. Disable Email Forwarding
Go to Settings - Forwarding and POPIMAP.
Ensure forwarding is not enabled to send emails to another account.
7. Check Your Email Filters on Mobile Apps
If you're using Gmail on mobile, make sure no email filters are active in the app.
8. Check Gmail Storage
Go to Google Storage.
Ensure you have not run out of storage space, as this could stop new emails from arriving.
9. Try Incognito Mode or Another Device
Open Gmail in incognito mode or try another device to see if the issue persists.
10. Reenable Notifications
If you rely on notifications for new emails, ensure they are enabled:
On browser: Go to Settings - General - Desktop notifications.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider contacting Google Support. #gmailaccount
