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.

how to join gmail at the site when they have not open it to the public??
go to google.com – therez a line of text advertising gmail and a link to free sign-up
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.
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??
