# Google has blocked my account from sending emails for hours. What should I do to resolve this?

If your Google account has been temporarily blocked from sending emails for 6 hours, it's likely due to a security measure triggered by unusual or suspicious email activity. To resolve this issue and regain the ability to send emails, follow these steps:
Step 1 : First and foremost, you will need to wait for the 6-hour suspension period to expire.
Step 2 : Use this time to review your recent email activity and check for any unusual or suspicious behavior
Step 3 : After the suspension period ends, change your Google account password immediately to enhance security. Ensure that you create a strong, unique password.
Step 4 : If you haven't already, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Google account.
Step 5: If you haven't already, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Google account.
Step 6 :Review your account security settings and check if any unauthorized devices or applications have access to your account.
Step 7 :Run a thorough malware scan on your computer or device to ensure it's not infected. Malware can lead to unauthorized access to your accounts.
Step 8 : If you suspect that your account may have been compromised or if the suspension continues beyond the 6-hour period, consider reaching out to Google's support team for assistance
