Gmail “Ouchage” – Gmail Down for Hours

I just read about the Gmail Outage (7:50pm EST) and was glad to see I could log back in again. The update in the Gmail blog post notes that the issue was fixed at 2:37pm, and I experienced it at about that time at the end of my workday here on the east coast.

Glad to see its fixed and I can get into my Gmail now, and hopefully everyone else can, too. Pretty cool of them to make a "hey we were down and we're sorry" post.

Cheryl, Wow I'm surprised. My wife and I both use Gmail and haven't had problems since Tuesday. You might try the Gmail Help Center: mail.google.com/support/?hl=en
