If a message doesn't have authentication data to confirm it was sent through Gmail, we'll warn you to protect your information.
Why the warning message shows up
You'll see this warning if a sender looks like name@gmail.com, but we can't verify that the email is actually coming from that Gmail account.
This can happen if the sender:
- Is sending from a fake Gmail account
- Emailed you from a website (for example, to share a news article)
- Sent an email that was automatically forwarded (for example, from your school account to your personal Gmail)
Option 1: The message seems suspicious
If you aren't sure the message was sent by the Gmail address you see, follow these steps.
- In the warning message, click Report phishing.
- Do not provide any personal information or click any links in the email.
Option 2: The message is from a trusted sender
If you know a sender is legitimate, you can remove the warning from their messages in the future.
