Gmail down again?

14 pointsmrtron9 comments

I received

'Gmail is temporarily unable to access your Contacts. You may experience issues while this persists. Learn more'

Then my mail altogether timed out - and now I can't login to gmail, hosted mail, etc.

View on HN

General status: http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en

Gmail status: http://www.google.com/appsstatus#rm=1&di=1&hl=en

I got the banner too, but everything in my Gmail (for my domain) works except the Contacts.

HN is not http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

(Although during the GAE failure a few days ago, downforeveryoneorjustme was down for everyone, not just me...)

A quick command-line check:

  curl -u USERNAME:PASSWORD --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | perl -ne 'print "\t" if /<name>/; print "$2\n" if /<(title|name)>(.*)<\/\1>/;'

I can now connect - still getting the contact list error.

Gmail is down and it seems Google Talk has gone with it.

Google should have left it in "beta".

I was just thinking that, I don't remember it being down this often while in beta.

Oh no, please don't encourage that! *sigh

yep..

definitely some weirdness here in Boston.

Why is it that every time some online app gets a glitch, someone runs to the internet like Chicken Little as if the sky were falling?
