Gmail Problems? You're Not Alone

Gmail users are having the virtual version of a traffic jam on the Internet today. Delays and slowdowns are the norm for many users trying to send and receive mail. Google is reporting a "service disruption" for Google Mail and Google Drive, as well as an outage for their Admin Control Panel/API.

If there's comfort in numbers, then take solace. There are many other email users like yourself pumping the send button and getting delayed or no response. From Tampa Bay to Topeka, Gmail is KO'd mail for many.

Word on what is causing the problem isn’t readily available. 

As Google works through the problems, sometimes the basic HTML version of Gmail will work. Here is the link to sign in using this stripped-down version: http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html

You can check the status of various Google products on their Apps Status Dashboard.
