Is anyone else having issues with GMail????

There is a bit of talk on the GMail messages that people are having issues logging in. Today on my laptop I could not get in as I got a user name and password do not match. I tried the suggestions etc but still could not get in.
Plus my alternate GMail is sporadic.

How ever the wife at home was able to get in with the original password, while I cannot.

Is this a GMail issue or maybe a browser issue? Mozilla and Explorer were both working fine yesterday.

I started a thread on this, or a related, problem awhile back and there is some additional information there. See:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558533

My reported problem was that GMAIL would work from my PC, but not from the Blackberry - same account. The upshot was several days emailing back and forth with T-Mobile and then Google, with the problem escalated through several Google layers, and then the conversation just stopped one day. At the same time my GMAIL suddenly started working from the BB again, and has worked ever since. The assumption is that something was stuck in the BB somewhere - a cookie, possibly - but we never actually did anything to fix it, it just fixed itself one day - maybe something expired. Proposed solutions included sending new service books and clearing my caches, neither of which did anything to solve the problem

I'm actually currently having a small problem with GMAIL on my work machine, but not at home. When I log in from work I'll get a blank screen and then my messages will display when I hit refresh (this is IE). This I can live with!

It has been pretty flakey all week, some emails never arrive, sending through it can take for hours and their SMTP server seems to be down quite a bit...

Today, mine's been giving me the message, "unable to load the inbox" for a few seconds after signing on, but then loads up OK.

Saw similar problems during the morning of Wednesday, 19 July, experienced similar problems. Using Mac and MS Entourage to access GMail via POP, got the following errors


entourage error temporary system problem
entourage error 4.7.0 temporary system problem
entourage error 5.7.1 bad or missing rcpt domain 39sm35596wrl

Found no real solutions doing Google searches for these issues. Tried deleting the GMail account from my POP list and reinstalling it. No luck - similar error messages. Tinkered with other solutions from similar problems in the past - such as changing settings and ports - still no luck.

Then, it just started working. Weird.

I've occasionally gotten that message if I was logging into the webmail site, but I've always just retyped my password and gotten in (I'm a terrible typist, especially on my laptop).

I've never had a problem accessing my gmail through OE.

the browser sometimes can give you trouble accessing and sometimes it could be an issue with gmail itself. but after a while it gets fine.. i experienced this a while back...
