And why is that a problem ? Does it violate Google's policies in any way ?

  It's a problem because Google banned the account. Doesn't matter if it's unclear about policy violation given they're the ones making the decision and providing limited opportunities for recourse.

    Yeah I understood that part. I was only wondering if there is an explicit policy about sending chain emails.

      Sorry, should've made it clear that I was making a separate point - that it doesn't matter either way when someone else can make a decision and limit follow up. It's long been a frustration for many with Google services.

  From the TOS at the time: "5.4 You agree that you will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Services)."

    Looks pretty broad for me. I can't send email to friends inviting them to an even and asking them to invite their friends ?

      You're asking rhetorical questions. Instead, just think it through and you'll get it. Chain letters can explode, if written in a certain way.

        So Google actually reads the content of the email and can hold it against the person ?

          What do you think?
