You can either turn off these extensions and plug-ins temporarily or make use of the incognito mode of the browser where there are no such things like extensions and plug-ins.
Gmail also gives you problem in sending or receive mails and messages. And to troubleshoot such issue, following are the solutions mentioned.
Check the Latest Version of Gmail
This issue is likely to emerge when you are using an outdated version of Gmail. And therefore, the first solution says you to check if the Gmail update is available. You can go to the Play Store and from the “My apps & games” option, you can see if Gmail needs to be updated or not.
Verify Internet Connection
Another thing that carries weight while you can send or receive mails is the internet connection. As we all know that Gmail won’t respond if the Motorola Edge 2023 device is not connected to the internet. Therefore, you are advised to turn off Wi-Fi and then enable it again. Also, please ensure to switch to Wi-Fi if you are using the cellular data. This may hamper the process and stop you from receiving or sending mails.
If still Gmail keeps stopping you to go ahead, make sure to once sign out from it. To do this:
Open your Gmail app and go to “Manage accounts on this device”.

Check Network Connection
As already mentioned, be sure of an active internet connection while working with Gmail. When you are not using a stable connection, it may lead to stuck on sending, Gmail crashing and many other issues. You can fix the issue by doing these three things:
Most importantly, use only Wi-Fi rather than cellular data if you want a smoother process.
Turn off Wi-Fi and then turn it on again after nearly 5 seconds. Do the same with the router. Plug it out and the plug in.
Lastly, turn on Airplane mode and after a few seconds, turn it off again.
Now try to send the mail and see if things are still the same or not.
Check Attachments
Large attachments can also be the reason for this issue. We would here like to suggest you to check the attachments you are sending. If these are not so important, you can remove them and send the mail. Or if it is not possible to send the mail without attachments, compressing the files can be a solution.
