Gmail down
Well it seems like Gmail is down. Visiting Gmail brings up a page that says “The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.” That has been showing for at least the past few minutes. This happens in Firefox, but I also tried logging in from IE and used Google’s language translation to see if the page was working elsewhere on the web. The error message is a pretty nasty one (giving no reasons for the error) and I hope I don’t lose any incoming email. I also hope Gmail comes back up soon.
It seems that Gmail’s pop3 access is still working, but I’ve had problems with it before and still do. And if you haven’t enabled it you won’t be able to use pop3 until you can get into your web-based Gmail settings.
Edit: Gmail is back up half an hour after the post was made.
