Gmail appears to be down, world-wide, for many users. We are not clear as to what the specific issues are at this point in time, but it does appear that this outage is affecting thousands, if not millions, of Gmail users. Users who are affected are receiving the same error, “Temporary Error (500) We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes.” First reports of outages began appearing at approximately 11:30EST.
The Twitter-sphere is buzzing, with hundreds of frustrated Gmail users reporting their outages:
@sereperfetto My #gmail account was working just before I checked Twitter. Then the 500 error showed up on my account too!
@ninjarobot5000 Gmail has been giving me an error for the last half hour. Not impressed.
