Perhaps it was one of those maintenance.

I’ve had probs accessing (via TB) yesterday AND today. Whatever it is doesn’t seem to be completely resolved. Fortunately, I have been able to just default back to the web interface.

@Wade – I was looking for some confirmation that others are/were experiencing issues as well. I appreciate knowing that it isn’t/wasn’t just me. It can help me to know how far I need to dig into an issue. Call it “scoop” if you want, but I see it more as a PSA and thank Mark for posting it.

@R-Bro: Same via Thunderbird. Sadly when a server is unavailable TBird has a habit of dumping the saved password and asking for it again over and over. So I’m hassled for my mail password while it sits in the tray checking for new mail every couple of minutes.

Gmail IMAP has been flaky for me for weeks, at least when accessed in Outlook.

I know you guys like to get the scoop, but personally, I don’t need to read stories about every bug on major web sites…..or even a service outage, for that matter.

Don’t you guys have insiders you can call to verify these “stories”?

Hopefully, they’re making it faster. I can’t use Gmail IMAP for large folders unless the mail client has caching built in.

Um.

…

You’re the same guy who posted the “OMG bug in Tumblr let’s post this RIGHT NOW DON’T WAIT FOR A RESPONSE GO GO GO!” the other day, aren’t you? This is like that, except kinda more accusatory.

Mark, I appreciate your desire to be on top of things and to scoop everyone else. I really do. But perhaps you should consider decaf for a while.

Still evaluating Gmail for our company email. There are so many pluses it’s hard to resist.

IMAP has been buggy from day one, to the point that after testing it for a couple of days I switched back to POP access because it was unusable for me.

the other thing to note is that they updated the main google navbar in the upper left and I noticed a stylyesheet change to the way it handles labels. may just have been an update that went wrong…

before I noticed the change, the service was responding very slowly – usually an indication of server or network switching

or, perhaps we just noticed a glitch in the matrix… was that cat on my gmail account before?

Another reminder (warning!) that Gmail is still a “beta” service. And that sometimes you get what you (don’t) pay for.

Huh. And I thought Googler’s actually knew what they were doing. Now they’re asymptotically approaching M$.
