I create my emails with the Email Forward option, and have set up my GMAIL account to receive these emails. I have tested with another email address to the email forwards addre
Twitter confirmation email not appearing in the gmail?
I create my emails with the Email Forward option, and have set up my GMAIL account to receive these emails. I have tested with another email address to the email forwards addre
so you set up an email forward to your gmail, an own domain website email address
when you say 'tested with another email address to the email forwards' what does this mean? you created an email forward to create a website address, so when you tested with another email address - were you sending an email to your website address expecting to see it in gmail? because that is what should happen
so what do you mean by 'change your email in twitter to the email forward address'?
that is a separate thing altogether, you have your website email set up to your gmail - are you wanting to change that?
I clarify.
PROCESS 1:
Went to "Site Email" ->
Created "New Email Forward" ->
Created "email-id-1@mydomain.com" forward to "personal-email@gmail.com" ->
Went to my personal Gmail ->
Set Up SMTP Settings ->
Send email to email-id-1@mydomain.com from another-email@hotmail.com ->
Received it in personal-email@gmail.com
PROCESS 2:
Created twitter-account-1 using personal-email@gmail.com
OBJECTIVE 1:
To change to twitter-account-1 current email personal-email@gmail.com to email-id-1@mydomain.com.
PROCESS 3:
Tried to change the email in the twitter-account-1 from personal-email@gmail.com to email-id-1@mydomain.com ->
Twitter ask me to verify with the email they sent to email-id-1@mydomain.com which is forwarded to personal-email@gmail.com ->
Check and I didn't receive any emails in personal-email@gmail.com inbox/spam/junk which is forwarded from email-id-1@mydomain.com ->
After that I try to send an email from another-email@hotmail.com to email-id-1@mydomain.com, I could receive that email in personal-email@gmail.com.
I tried PROCESS 3 for three times. No emails from Twitter in personal-email@gmail.com inbox/junk/spam which is forwarded from email-id-1@mydomain.com.
Hope this is much clearer. Very frustrated now. Thanks.
okay, impressive clarification, maybe swig a couple of omega 3s to replenish the grey matter under the circumstances :D
so it seems your domain email is working fine to your gmail [I've done the training on creating that so wanted to check that bit was ok and it looks like it is]
but twitter is not allowing you to update your gmail email to your own domain email...
"maybe swig a couple of omega 3s to replenish the grey matter under the circumstances :D" - That's cute, you made my day today with the cute line hehe... yup, definitely I need replenishment of the good stuffs for my grey matter! *sobs*
By the way, I already got it somewhat solved by 3am in the morning (right now it is 1.30pm as I am replying this). So I am pretty groggy right now haha.
I wanted to type in the solution or how the matter has been resolved as soon as I could but was too sleepy last night to finish configuring everything and right now I have to get some work done at work, so that anyone who searches for the same answer will get it clarified as well.
I will come back with the solution or how the matter has been resolved as soon as I can once I solved everything, by tonight or tomorrow night and close this question.
Appreciate your responses mozmary =D
Hi, it been some time. Things catch on fast and I couldn't go back here to do that summary. So with my mummy memory, can't quite remember how it got solved.
Basically, I contacted support and they helped me resolved it. Plus, you cannot sign up for any accounts like Twitter using an email forward and need to create a normal email like a webmail. From there, you can move forward to resolve the issue. Hope this helps somehow.
I did exactly that. I had to remove the email forward and have Twitter send the verification code to my webmail. I also got Site Support involved because my webmail wasn't working. Anyway, I got the code and all is good, I hope :)
Thanks for responding. I know we all have a lot going on.

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem.

Glad it works out for you!
