Gmail down?

Anyone else having problems accessing gmail?

 

nope, no prob here

 

I didn't notice yesterday, but a few days back, GM was inoperative for half a day at my console.

 

Yeah, no gmail for me while on vacation.... for 8+ hours now... weird.

 

It's been up and down for me all week. BUMS!

 

Hi,

For me too it was working fine.

 

I never have problems with Gmail for any extended periods. I have noticed that if you click inbox to refresh it will hang a bit, but if you just hit F5 that takes care of the problem.

 

I've personally never faced problems with Gmail, just while it loads, takes a while.. otherwise its good. Infact the best email system ever!

 

Since I set it up as a POP account, I've had no problems whatsoever with it.

 

No NO, I have not seen any PRob???

 

I had a lot of problems accessing gmail yesterday but today it seemed fixed.

 

In your opinions, does Gmail do a good job at getting rid of spam? I currently use Yahoo mail and like it. I don't get too much spam but my wife gets a ton at hotmail. I'm thinking of switching to gmail.

I get no spam w/ Gmail.

Hotmail is the pits- IMO!

 

It probably has more to do with where you post your email adress.

I was one of the early Gmail accounts and I have zero spam reaching the inbox as yet. On the other hand, I rarely use that account except for research purposes (emailing large articles or webpages for future scrutiny from another of my accounts to my Gmail account) and I don't believe I've ever used it for a forum or website or newsletter subscription.

In contrast, I also never use my Yahoo account and that still gets some spam.

One thing I've noticed is that a certain amount of spam is going to reach you via broadcasting to a number of accounts with similar names... some sort of automated process for generating email accounts so that some of them get through.

 

Sure, but there's no 'arm in that, is there?

 

I guess I should get a new email address for family and friends (maybe gmail) and keep using my yahoo account for forums and buying things online and stuff. I just hate having to go to multiple accounts to check mail.

 

I forward all my gmail accounts to my yahoo account since I cant get a gmail with just my full name. Otherwise, I'd be using only gmail. But it works perfectly fine with spam. I wish it wouldn't say, Spam (#) If only the "spam" emails could just be deleted upon arrival.

 

Multiple accounts seems to be the only way to go. I have Yahoo and Gmail and I keep Gmail for only personal stuff.

 

It seems to be down for me right now:

Server Error

Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

LOL

 

Every time I see a notice that Gmail is down and try my POP link, it works just fine. I suggest those of you who use it frequently set it up as a POP account...
