Gmail eventual consistency
2 points by nullecksor on Nov 10, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I created a new secondary account for some reason, and tried to send ping-pong emails from both accounts.

1. secondary to primary works!

2. replying to secondary's mail from primary works!

3. create new email -> primary to secondary fails spectacularly with following error.

Address not found Your message wasn't delivered to <email address> because the address couldn't be found. Check for typos or unnecessary spaces and try again. LEARN MORE

eventual consistency much?



4. create new email -> primary to secondary email -> delete some existing email.. success! (my secondary email actually received from primary)

5. retry: create new email -> primary to secondary email. Fail!
