Gmail too good to be true?
I started up Gmail Notifier this morning and got an error message. Then surfed to gmail.com website and to my surprise there seems to have been a mass server error:
Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.
Of course, problems plague all free internet services. One has only to mention Waikato University's webmail service to remember the days when the service went down for days on end (and those days are still happening!). The test for google will be how long it will take them to fix it.
And even if they do take a while to fix it, we have to remember that gmail is still in beta.
In some ways, it's amazing that the service has taken this long to screw up...
Update:
Did some web surfing and it appears that this is not the first time Gmail has gone down. According to one forum post, gmail was once down for three days.
