G-Mail: Made of Fail

G-mail, viable message service, or steaming pile of rotting human feces? I'm about to assume the latter.

Me and Tweezy set up a few accounts for the comic we're working on. I have tried to use mine for a couple of registration forms, one for a bug-reporting site related to Garry's Mod, the other for Second Life. I never received ANYTHING in the way of confirmation e-mails, so I took that to mean I could only receive messages from other G-mail accounts.

Fine then, at least I could use it to send messages between me and Tweezy. Right? WRONG! In the past six hours, I've tried to contact Tweezy over G-mail, and I only ever received messages that they COULDN'T be sent.

Is this just me, or this is system so full of bugs it's the digital version of the third and fourth Plagues?

I think it's the internet's way of telling you to get off because i've never had a problem like that and i've been using it for over a year.

That's difficult to do when you're trying to start an internet business.

You could always just switch. Unless that's a problem for some reason...

I have never had a problem with Gmail either.
I like the fact that I get absolutely NO spam email.

Change your filters. I don't use gmail, but some family members do and NOTHING THEY WANT EVER GETS BLOCKED.

I've been using Gmail for about 2 years now, and never once had any problems with sending or receiving mail from gmail or any other email accounts.
