Because it means that you not only lose access to your mailbox, but also to all the other Google Services. If this happens, your Google Disc, Docs, Photos, Maps, your YouTube \u00abSaved Videos\u00bb and \u00abWatched History\u00bb will become unavailable. Moreover, you will have to re-install all the apps that you have downloaded from Google Play as well as re-buy books, films, and games.<\/p>\n<p>But probably the most annoying thing is that sometimes Google can block a Gmail account by mistake. What can you do then? In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll discover the reasons why Google closes accounts, how to unblock Gmail account as well as what you need to know to protect yourself from any further blocking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15386\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-to-block-unblock-gmail-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"how to block unblock gmail\" width=\"843\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-to-block-unblock-gmail-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-to-block-unblock-gmail-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-to-block-unblock-gmail-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/how-to-block-unblock-gmail.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_is_my_gmail_blocked?\"><\/span>Why is My Gmail Blocked?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can discover your Gmail blocked due to any violation of Google Terms of Use, User Content and Conduct Policy or Google Terms of Service. Besides, for privacy reasons, Google does not always provide an explanation of the specific reasons for blocking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In practice, the most common causes are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The system has detected or suspected that the mailbox is being used for spam;<\/li>\n<li>Google may automatically block your account due to a security risk;<\/li>\n<li>Rude content violations including terrorism, child exploitation or sexual abuse;<\/li>\n<li>Any legal violations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What\u2019s more, in three last cases, Google doesn\u2019t allow you to save your data from blocked Gmail account and other Google Services by downloading it.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to spam emails, there are several signs that Google&#8217;s spam filters might think your Gmail is being used to send spam emails.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15387 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/icon-68-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Why is My Gmail Blocked?\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/icon-68-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/icon-68-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/icon-68-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/icon-68.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sign_#1_email_limit_exceeded_%e2%80%94_for_a_regular_gmail_account_it%e2%80%99s_500_emails_per_day\"><\/span><strong>Sign #1.

This process can take up from a few days up to several weeks. There is even a special term for it: \u00abwarming up\u00bb an account for mailings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sign_#2_detection_of_%c2%abred_flags%c2%bb_typical_for_spam_emails\"><\/span><strong>Sign #2.
