Gmail account invalid: The mailbox doesn't exist.

Question

Hello,

I have a situation where I check gmail account "marlissultanov54" and the API returns a result - invalid: The mailbox doesn't exist.

If i try to create the same gmail account, gmail will return an error that the email address **already exists**.

Can anyone advise me why the API returns the result that the gmail account does not exist?

Well thank you.

This is a special feature from Gmail and the response you would get from the E-Mail DAEMON would look like this:
: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.194.76.26] said:
    550-5.2.1 The email account that you tried to reach is disabled. Learn more
    at 550 5.2.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=DisabledUser
    da9-20020a056000408900b0021d8aac50fdsi8159680wrb.713 - gsmtp (in reply to
    RCPT TO command)
		
		All disabled or somehow no working mailboxes are not able to obtain messages and of course will be marked as unavailable by the API, which is pretty good!
