Anyone else?
We're aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a small subset of users.
The affected users are unable to access Gmail. We will provide an
update by February 24, 2009 6:30 AM PST detailing when we expect to
resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an
estimate and may change
I was able to download the inbox using POP mail but can't get into Gmail itself.
Business and consumer users of Google's popular e-mail service were hit by an outage on Tuesday.The service went offline at 0930 GMT with Google saying it was "working hard to resolve this problem".
In a statement, Google said "a number of users" were having problems with Google Mail.
"We know how important GMail is to our users so we take this very seriously," it added.
I told them that I'm convinced of their reliability and that I regard every E-mail that's sent through the open jungle as "public" anyway.
One pro-argument gone.
There are reports coming in from all over the world including Europe, India & South America on the Gmail blog.

Time to install Gmail offline for all my accounts.

Points to consider:
The temporary crash of Gmail affected office work across millions of offices around the world as a large part of the official mail is often carried on Gmail. In India, the Google email service provider is also used by government officials.
Does the Indian government really run on a free beta service?
It's a shame paying customers get hit with lockouts and outages just as much as us getting the free(ads) ride.
Just the web interface was out of commission from the looks of things on my end.
I couldnt access via my phone which normally is fairly fast and reliable.
