Fortunately I don’t rely to heavily on Gmail for my personal emails, I am still somewhat tethered to Microsoft Outlook for my emails that run through our Plethware premium email solution but for some of my friends, and a few folks I spotted at Starbucks this afternoon, Gmail was down and they were aggravated.
Here’s a little bit about the outage that I spotted on CNET a little while ago regarding the outage. This is the month apparently for web-based email outages, fortunately our clients haven’t reported any issues with our service. If you are interested in providing premium email solutions for your company, please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss your needs. For just a few bucks a month you can rest assured that your email will be accessible via the web, outlook, or your mobile device…
Google’s e-mail service went on the blink for a “small subset” of users, Google said Thursday, but Google said it’s on the mend.
“We’re aware of a problem with Google Mail affecting a small subset of users. The affected users are unable to access Google Mail,” Google said in a status message at 2:16 p.m. PDT Thursday. By 3:29 p.m., the company said, “Google Mail service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users within the next 1 hour.”
Twitter users, often an indicator of the latest waves propagating across the Internet, griped about the problem with the tweets using the #gmaildown hashtag.
‘Tis the season for flaky Webmail. Already this month, outages and problems have surfaced at Comcast, Yahoo Mail, and Microsoft’s Hotmail.
