    Some time ago we signed up my wife with a gmail account. It is rarely used. However, today I can't seem to get to where I want to go. All it wants me to do is sign up for a new account.

    When I searched on how to go to a gmail account it tells me what I am trying to do but won't do it. That is, go to gmail.com then type in username and password. However, I can not get to that page.

    Any ideas?

    I went to the facebook gmail page but find no way to send a message.

    It seems no matter what I do this page keeps popping up.

    All I want to do is to send an email using the account. It did let me sign in but once signed in I figured it would go to the page with email but it won't. It goes to a page telling me I can secure the account and other crap but won't take me to a page so I can send an email. I simply do not know how to get there.

    If you are actually signed in, you go to google.com, on the top right of the page there is a link that says gmail.

    Dennis, I noticed a few months ago (I don't use my gmail acct much) that those Googly Shmoogly people made it all sorts of confusory... I know he's a busy Cat, but has Mr. Grizzly Adam got any thing to add?:handshake:

    Nice that you folks were so helpful and telling me to go to gmail.com or google.com. Yes, it seems so simple... However, I did that many times...with no luck. Even went to their so-called help and did what they suggested but all it wanted to let me do was sign up for a new account. Don't need that. Frustrating. But last night I was finally able to get where I needed to go. Thank you.
