I was trying to log in my gmail a minute ago, it failed and username and password went blank, tried again went blank again. tried again now cant even load the log in page, damnit!

my gmail log in wont work, and I am just learning how to use a computer. I tried to change my gmail, and it says I was successful, but when I go to log on with my new gmail, I cant get past password.I dont even know how to retrieve any gmail messages. Please help!

Seems to be working fine for me.

Is gmail down right now? The "status" page indicates it isn't, but I tried 3 different browsers to no avail.

It's working for me.

Looks like gmail is down yet again!

It's not down for me at the moment. If all else fails try connecting via POP:

down again. all dang morning.

I have no web availability but IMAP & SMTP are working nicely through Thunderbird, despite the pain Gmail is still my best option for portability

This is on the status page:

"We will provide an update by 1 September 2009 06:30:00 UTC+12 detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change."

It is 9:29 + 12UTC now. Where is the update. When will things be back online? I have a business to run.

Looks like gmail is back online.

Well I have been using gmail since 2005, and I can count the outages that have affected me on one hand. So it is still more reliable than a lot of the alternatives.

Sadly, I have not yet migrated to gears based offline gmail, or else I could still work. This might make me do that. ...but I'm not setting up IMAP for one afternoon.

I do agree that Google the company has a big PR problem. They remain silent even when there is a crisis, they give out information but not in an obvious way, and they never seem to have any humans in the building. I've been there, I know there are people in the building! They need to hire at least one person to smooth these sorts of things out with the users.

May people like me are dependent on Google mails for very important tasks. If some thing happens like this, people are becoming impatient. Hope google maintenance people will trouble shoot server outage and keep gmail on track..

keep the good work guys........

I think it may be back up...just got email through crackberry.

this sucks ass!!!! gmail sucks ass! going back to hotmail!!!

Necesito mi cuenta de correo... please....

Mikey, look at the left side of the status page and try again.

AHHHH.. my face is on fire... and I can't send 911 a gmail to come put it out...

i need a new email host.... any recommendations?

The NSA & CIA shut it down and is reading all your nasties.... I'd leave the country yah dirty freaks...

Gmail.... i kill you....

Shit... I have to fly tomorrow and need my information. Damn I now realise how dependent I am on gmail to live.

WTF GMAIL?!?!?!

The status page reads 8/31/09 -- not exactly up-to-date...

SO super lame.. WTF gmai. I am trying to chat at work and your putting the brakes on that one..

will I miss incoming emails will Gmail is down?

I'm new to Gmail. Does THIS happen OFTEN?

so weird.........gmail down again....any idea when it will get restored ?

What up Google?? Gmail down at 4:30pm EST!!!!

I wonder how much Google searches for 'gmail alternative' skyrocket when gMail goes down.

I'm fine connecting using IMAP. It's just weird w/o web interface.

-- still waiting.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for Google to restore Gmail once it's down like this? Please reply. Thanks!

Fyi, I added the google status page as an iframe to this post...

gmail down today...wtf....internal server error/.

Gmail down again??? Can't access any google pages...

Gmail seems to be having some serious problems...

GMAIL is down today, can't access from mobile

Yes, down now again.

OK finally got to http://www.google.com/appsstatus# but it shows no problem, yet I can't get to GMail regular or GApps Gmail

the gmail status listed as an update to the first page is also DOWN

down today, whole day

Gmail is down again, and has been for the past 24 hours. Any updates? News? Anyone?

Gmail is down again. Any updates?

Gmail is down. We can't access it.

@No date/time! - Look at the URL.

Yea it's down, why don't they have a system status page?

It's official, Gmail is down again. It's been down for over an hour now... (@ticketchoice)

Hmm... I hate blogs that do not display a post date and time...

Gmail (imap.gmail.com) is not responding correctly for the NOOP command.

Everytime sending "NO RECENT" if any new mails (recent mails) are there too.

Please suggests anything..for that...

Thanks in advance

Please tell how to get "Recent mails" for Gmail (imap.gmail.com), i tried with NOOP (imap command) but everytime getting "No Recent" mail for Gmail.

any idea...

Thanks in advance..

Agreed. The problem, though, is not necessarily the service's reliability--stuff happens, and we all knew we were subscribing to a cutting-edge, beta service (or did they finally pull Gmail out of beta?). The big problem is Google's lack of communication--they have no status page, no way of contacting them, no way of reporting an outage, and no admission of fault on their part. I understand that desire from a PR perspective--they like to remain secretive, kind of like Apple likes to do--but my trust in the company is significantly lower because of this. But what do we do--we use the brand anyway because the positives still outweigh the negatives. For now.

Jeez...Google Mail is just about the most unreliable service I've ever used. At least once a week I cannot connect to their IMAP server. And it's just about impossible to find help or system status...as is the case at this moment.

You can not open gmail right now. When you select the page it just makes a clicking sound and will not open.

Hi Google is aware of the problem. This only affects some users. Remember to back up.. I have added a link to a solution on my
GMAIL outage post

If gmail creates a listserv to send us important information about service problems with gmail, won't it be ironic that we can't read the email notices because we can't get anything except a "Google Server Error" message whenever we try to reach our gmail account? I think I have too many eggs in this basket.
