- dm_ 11y agoHi, Gmail engineer here. This isn't specific to Inbox; we have limits in place for all accounts (documented here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/1366776 https://support.google.com/a/answer/1366776). You can probably understand why this is necessary to keep our systems healthy--while the vast majority of users never encounter the limits, if they didn't exist, there's a risk that abnormal usage could limit our availability for every other user. That said, I think the request to make this more obvious to the user is a really good point and something I'll look into.
- fluxquanta 11y agoWhile you're here, I recently switched to an iPhone and the Inbox app, yet I've received multiple e-mails from GMail saying, in part, "You're currently accessing your Google account from your iPhone but not using the official app from Google, the most secure way to access Gmail." A few questions: Is Inbox actually less secure than the GMail app? Is there a reason why using Inbox (an official Google app) doesn't prevent these messages from being sent? And will these e-mails ever stop?
- dm_ 11y agoNo, using Inbox should be just as safe as using Gmail. I don't recognize that exact notification text, but I suspect you're seeing the notification mentioned here (https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879 https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879). As noted on that page, this is triggered by use of password-based auth (rather than OAuth). Is it possible you're signed into your account from Apple Mail using just a password?
