GMail Is Slow or Broken For Everyone Today

Don’t worry, you’re not the only person who is suffering under slow or nonexistant access to your Gmail account today.


I have reports that people are actually reverting to their Hotmail accounts today the trouble is so insidious.

That said, if you need a free GMail account, please email me. Don’t pay for one. I think you can also just go to the site and join yourself now, too.

Probably just growing pains.

    Day two of broken Gmail begins. I had unfortunately given my gmail address out widely to business contacts. Good old American over-capitalization wins again. WHAT IS HAPPENING? Why is Mr. Abraham acting the apologist? This sucks.

  4. Firstly, I would contact Google because I am having no problems with GMAIL — secondly, never put a freemail account on a business card. At the very least. get yourself tomblumenthal.com or blumenthal.com and then make your address tom@blumenthal.com and set it as an alias to your freemail account — you can usually do that for free from GoDaddy or DirectNic — I use cja@well.com because it reminds me of the old days of the Well — and then you can easily not be held hostage by what appears to you to be bad service.

    Also, something that Google allows is a “Send As” address — I send as cja@well.com from Google all the time and have a .sig file that states as much.

    I can’t agree more with those complaining about the gmail performance. I had just typed a long email to one of my clients - as you can guess - things went south from there. My keystrokes were WAY ahead of the gmail, and to make matters worse I choose to spell check. BAD IDEA - it took at least 15 to 20 sec. to make any changes.
    This is not acceptable - How does one find out what the real problem is? Is it broke? How do you get a gmail expert to verify the problem or provide a fix??
