Steps to fix Gmail not working error

  • If you are missing or not receiving emails in Gmail, then you need to check the settings that are mentioned below to resolve this error with ease.

You can now select the “keep Gmail’s copy in the inbox” option and then save the changes that you have made to resolve this issue.
