Are they blocking G-mail drive or something now? Just curious because I like the G-mail drive.

there is a max number of emails you can send in a certain period of time, you are probably going over that limit, and google is flaging you as a spammer, lighten up a bit.

im sorry i dont know the number it was mentioned a while back, but i dont remember it.

I've had that happen to me before. I was downloading like 300MB worth of vids I had backed up in my GMail account. Account was unlocked in like 24 hours.
