gmail down Gmail Down: Google Cites a Service Disruption

Update– Gmail is live again for some, according to commenters below and our own tests.

Gmail is down for the count. Google’s web mail service went down on Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, after intermittent service throughout the morning and a noted “service disruption” on the 31st of August. 2286 tweets and counting have discussed the outage of Google Mail, with many more on the horizon as web users struggle with an inaccessible mail service. For those of you heading to google and typing the phrase “gmail down”, leave a comment below and let us know when you begin to receive service from gmail. We’re gmail users as well!

Update – Google Chat is still operable, can be accessed if you’re using a third party IM client like Pidgin, as it is obviously inaccessible from your Gmail account.

Update – 5:11p.m. EST – Google has made official remarks about the Gmail downage on the Apps Status Dashboard. Screenshot below:

nothing yet. been trying for 35 mins now…very annoyed with this. use gmail for work, guess i should switch to more reliable e-mail service. this just can't happen anymore. are we living in 1990's e-mail technology? i expect no errors whatsoever with a service like gmail.

From the app dashboard at 3:02 central time:
Google Mail service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users within the next 1.2 hours. Please note this time frame is an estimate and may change.

pull out your google cartridge and blow on it a little, maybe that will help.

Down in Los Angeles. As for Google's "track record", Eric, They may be up a lot, but service has been disrupted a few times, sometimes for "oops's" and other times because they are such a tasty target for packet kiddies. Hurry up and get your sh*t together, Google. Over an hour of downtime is pretty unacceptable, especially in the middle of business hours PST, where you are located.
