Mines been down for over 2 days now. This is getting really lame. I cant even get to the log in screen or the Help Centre, im assuming because the servers are just overloaded.

Maybe they should, you know, make these options that they were installing before the server crash optional, so everyone thats looking for a nice convenient webmail host doesnt have to deal with this crap.

Google Mail is best. I would still use it over yahoo, vole, ect. Its free and its better than some of the paid services.

I go several hours a day away from any type of internet access, I dont think this is a critical problem, plus is ok for things to fail, google has created the best (free) email client so far and unless I'm wrong, this is the first time something like this happens, at least that Im aware of...

Isn't this just a clever scheme to get everyone using the offline client? I mean, that would crank up the Gears install base and take a huge load off their datacenters...

Yeah, Gmail stopped working for 2 hours. Bit of a storm in a tea cup. Who cares if I can't access my mail for an hour or two.

Considering the fact that the global economy has collapsed it's a small relief to be email free for a morning.

Cup of tea anyone?

I have no problem sending and receive emails using smtp and pop3.
