Gmail update lets anyone email you

by Admin

Everyone who uses Gmail has received an email within the last week with the following subject line:

Gmail update: Reach more people you know

Gmail implemented an update that allows any Google+ user to send you en email without knowing your Gmail address. This means any Google+ user can email you even if they are not in your circles! Gmail users were outraged and took their complaints to other social media outlets like Twitter

It’s outrageous that Gmail would make such a sweeping change for all users but you can change this! You can choose to receive emails from only

  • Anyone on Google+
  • Those in your Circles
  • Those in your Extended Circles
  • No one from Google+

Your extended circles include people in your circles’ circles. To choose your own setting go to your account setting page at this URL

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/general

Go to the section labeled ‘Email via Google+:” and make your changes there.
