If you’ve ever had your Gmail account deactivated, there’s a good chance you’re wondering how to reactivate it. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen and select Settings.
  3. Under “General,” click on “Activate your account.”
  4. Enter your email address and password and click Activate Account.
  5. You’ll be prompted to confirm your activation by clicking on a link in an email that you’ll receive shortly after activating your account. ..

Tips for recovering your account:

1)Remember your password

2)Log in on the web with an alternate email address that you have verified to be associated with this account. If you do not have access to this address, please contact Google using the help links below:  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=Deactivating_my_account&hl=en

3)If above doesn’t work, please try contacting one of our support centers by using the link below: https://support.google.com/mail/?p=Deactivating_my_account&hl=en (Note that we are gradually phasing out POP access for Gmail accounts, so if your mobile device is set to use POP for incoming mail, you will need to change this setup in order to access your account.)

4)If the above doesn’t work, or you would like to report a suspected phishing attack on another Google Account, please use the “Report Phishing” button at the bottom of this page: https://support.google.com/mail/?p=Deactivating_my_account&hl=en

You will be able to edit your Gmail username and other information after reactivating your account, but certain features may not become available immediately. In some cases it may take up to 48 hours for full functionality to return after an account is deactivated due to security concerns. If you are unable to complete any of these steps, please contact us using one of the methods below.

Note: If you have a Google Account for your business, all Gmail messages sent to your customers from that account go into the Primary (Inbox) label. To make sure that these messages don’t get filtered into another folder by mistake, add a filter so they are moved directly to the Primary label. Follow our guide on managing filters .

If you use Gmail’s spam filtering feature and would like to help train it, including letting it learn which emails you consider valid mail items and which ones should be considered spam or junk mail, please see this support page with information about reporting a message as phishing , marking good/bad senders , marking good/bad subject lines , and reviewing flagged messagez.
