Get to Any Google Cached Page

I needed to read a post that had been deleted and see all the pages in the thread. Even if you click the link in the cached version, it does not link to the cached version of that link, but the live version. To get to any google cached page you can enter the following:

You can access the cached version for any page that has been saved by Google with this:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://example.com/
Change http://example.com/ to any URL. You can also create a custom search engine on Chromeor a Firefox keyword to go to cached versions automatically by adding a keyword before the current URL address.

Google Mail (GMail) Back Up

Best tool for backing up all things Google is with something called Google Takeout. See an article describing it here: https://www.howtogeek.com/216189/how-to-create-and-download-an-archive-of-all-your-google-data/

You can directly access the location here: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

Cannot Locate Contact after restoring the contact from "recently deleted" in GSuite

Another admin accidentally deleted an account instead of suspending it in GSuite. I went to "Recently Deleted Contacts" and restored the user, but was unable to find them in the Console under "Users." It turns out when you restore unfortunately, it won't appear in the console under "Users" until google propagates it which could take up to 24 hrs. If you want to check the status manually, go to "Admin Console" > " Apps" > "G Suite" > "Gmail" > "Email Addresses" Then you can see his account there, and suspend it.

Windows 10 Phone, Sync specific google calendar events

I recently used google calendar to work through some complicated scheduling. I needed to see and cross reference schedules, but I didn't want it all syncing to my phone. Turns out you can click this link and select which sync to the phone:

POP3 Email doesn't work for other Gmail

Unfortunately, I had to change my gmail password for a secondary email. After I did this, obviously POP3 didn't work because the credentials changed. I was having an AUTH error that looked like this:
 "Server denied POP3 access for the given username and password.
        Server returned error: [AUTH] Web login required: https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754"

This is what worked for me:

1- Sign into the old Gmail account first ( the one you are trying to fetch mail from )

2 -  you may need to Enable less-secure Apps for that account >> https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

Then sign in to the new Gmail account ( the one you are trying to fetch mail into )  and set up Mailfetcher within the 10 minute window you are allowed.


 if the above suggestion  doesnt work , there are more options listed here https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754 for example changing the password on the account you want to fetch FROM

NOTE if you use 2-step on the account you want to fetch FROM then you need to create an application specific password  >> https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

Southwest Airlines not displaying reservations in Gmail / read .eml files

For some reason the Southwest reservations were not being displayed in the email, attached were a bunch of .eml files, it turns out these have the reservations were in the .emls. For me to view them I simply renamed them to .mht and opened them in IE.

Windows 10 Phone Upgrade Google Calendar Events Set One Hour Later

I had an issue where after my Windows 10 Phone upgraded all my Google calendar events were appearing later than expected. It turns out this was not due to any of the following reasons:
  • Time Zones on either my Outlook Mail or Gmail as some posts suggested 
  • Daylight Savings Time Configuration 
  • Set Date and Time Automatically 
 I read a posts that this may only be an issue for recurring calendar events, but basically Windows 10 actually MOVED my events on my GOOGLE CALENDAR up one hour AND automatically sent out updates to guests. So that is insanely poor design, gmail makes sure to ask me if I want to edit any recurring events in the series, Apparently Windows just did whatever the hell it wanted. Unfortunately, the moved events will NOT appear in the trash, I had to manually drag the calendar entries on my Google Calendar back to where they should have been. I only figured this out because my gmail was cluttered with "updated events" Microsoft really screwed up on this on.
