Solution 2: Make sure the browser is compatible with Gmail

Many web browsers that you use are not compatible with Gmail as the application is a very famous and popular one. Famous Bowser like Chrome, Firefox and Safari are some which work very good with the application so, we recommend that you use these browsers if you can’t access Gmail on any other web browser.

Solution 3: Check the Bowser extensions and plug-ins

If you are using some browser extension or plug-in then, this might hamper the proper functioning of the application. This will then make the application a lot more problematic. You can fix this problem if you turn off the extensions for some time and then use the application or the website.

Solution 4: Clean all the browser cache and cookies

One of the major reasons why Gmail won’t load new emails can be the cache and cookies of your browser. You can try and clear all the cache data of the browser and then also clear all the cookies that are present in the browser. This will help you very well in fixing the Gmail application if the other troubleshooting methods are not working for you as this method is very effective.
