This is why I hate all the sites that say “or log in with Google”. Like paywalled content sites. What does that even mean, log in with Google?

There was one filter that I put in so long ago, I don't remember when it was. This new filter just appeared out of nowhere (at least to me). I use Thunderbird most of the time, and rarely use web mail. The one other activity that I'd been doing in the time frame was archiving a bunch of older emails to clear space, but I did that in Thunderbird. In fact, I thought I'd accidentally created a filter in Thunderbird (that's what I used to archive the old emails), but after I did the archiving, I purged the Thunderbird filters). bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 9/8/2025 9:15 AM, Steve Jones wrote: you can look in your login history to see if your account was accessed from elsewhere, also just for kicks check your forwarding rules to make sure there isnt a forwarder set up On Sat, Sep 6, 2025 at 5:36 PM Bill Prince <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Just a few days ago, I changed all my google account passwords (in case you hadn't heard, there was a breach of ~~ 2.5 billion accounts). As is probably the case with most of you, I have several google accounts for different purposes (including this one). So I went through them one by one. Just changed the passwords, and nothing else. Right after that, all my AF incoming started going directly to trash (not spam). I couldn't for the life of me figure out why until I checked filters, and somehow a filter had been applied that directed all incoming to the inbox was sent to trash. I did not do that, and I don't know how it happened. My SO thinks I was hacked, but I have a hard time believing that. None of my other google accounts was affected. -- bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
