Author Message   Mr_grumpy Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 02:49 pm:        Both my Gmail accounts have started acting weird, when I reply to a mail it gives me an error message saying that my reply won't show in sent mail because I'm replying to a binned conversation. But I'm not, I'm following straight on from the incoming mail as usual. This is driving me nuts, anybody got any ideas?   Cochise Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 02:55 pm:        You're own your own. Never happened to me. Plenty of my spam conversations have kicked, but never inbox stuff.   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 02:56 pm:        Binned conversation? I have never seen that one before. Not sure if you mean the archive, but if you reply to an archived mail or you recieve a reply to an archived mail it will automatically put it back in the inbox.   Mr_grumpy Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 03:13 pm:        Just started doing it damfino why.   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 03:19 pm:        I even looked at the google help, no mentions of "binned" Could you copy paste the exact error next time?   Mr_grumpy Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 03:24 pm:        Found the problem, I've been getting huge amounts of spam coming fom myself, so I put a filter in place to delete any mail from my own address, well I never send mail to myself. & It worked fine no spam for ages, but I've not had to reply to anyone since I put it in place; & as the reply is from me, it's binning my copy. I'll have to find another place to dump the spam now.   Swordsman Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 02:28 pm:        How the heck does that happen? Tons of spam coming from your own Gmail account? Being web-based, I don't see how a virus/worm on your home PC could be doing it... wuoldn't it have to be something on Google's server? ~SM   Mr_grumpy Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 02:31 pm:        Dunno, get it on both accounts apparently is some gizmo the spammers use so you can't see where the stuff's coming from. it appears to be coming from your own address; weird huh.   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 02:35 pm:        The short way of answering is that the spammers spoof the from address. Unfortunately when Email was designed back in the 70's, they didn't see this happening. It is not hard to send an email and make it come from whatever address you want.   Mr_grumpy Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 04:43 pm:        Any way of countering it? if I could find where it was coming from I'd send it back to em.
