has anyone noticed that Gmail is at least down for 20 minutes a day? I mean what kind of quality of service is this? :mad:

Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

You get what you pay for. Pay for storage if you require enterprise level service.

Doesn't matter if it's free or not. Someone should still expect decent service... Hotmail and Mac are up 99.99% of the time, unlike Gmail. Have been using gmail since the beginning, and this started happening in the last 2 months or so.

Hahahahah... 99.99% of the time. Why don't u ask some Hotmail users how often the service is down.

I stopped using Hotmail and went to Gmail.. haven't looked back.

Gmail so far is fantastic, but I don't presume it will always be fantastic.

Gmail blows hotmail out of the water.Hotmail is up 60% not 99%.

Seriously. I use to get pissed at Hotmail so much. The down time and sluggish performance was brutal.

Gmail is so much better its not funny. I have hotmail unavailable for like 12 hours once. I cant even think of a time I couldnt log into Gmail.

Gmail rocks.

I guess because I don't use hotmail that much, it would seem like it works all the time. I'm thinking that gmail cannot handle the load with the introduction of the GOOGLE TALK's Save Conversation feature.

Gmail is still in beta, so errors and downtime should be expected. Although I've never experience downtime with Gmail, compared to constant sluggish behaviour from hotmal and msn in general.

Most services at one point have to shut down for periods of time, upgrades etc..
I would note that I used to get the 'out of service temp' message from Tomshardware.. until I found it was my ISP sending this... not TH, soo... without a lot of people noticing problems with Gmail... it's possible your ISP doesn't like the idea you're using email services they don't provide. It's not in the best interest of your ISP that you use Gmail, you can switch providers in a heartbeat.

I for one haven't had a lot of issues with Gmail, great spam filtering.

Hmmm! I don't see why ISP would not like you to use somebody else mail system. If I am the ISP, the less you use my resource is better.

I've found the gmail outages to be acceptable - they're usually very short in duration (literally a few minutes). Can't say that about other e-mail providers I've used, where they've been down for hours at a time (Hotmail included).

It's free so stop moaning.

They're constantly upgrading it with new features.

It's still in BETA.

I'll take it over snail-like hotmail any day of the week.

Yeah it was down for me today as well.... just as i need to retrieve a doc for my ass't due tomorrow. What a blast that was.

Haven't really experienced downtime with hotmail tho, so I dont know what you people are bitching about. People talk about gmail as if its the best thing since sliced bread. It really ain't *that* great.

gmail is awesome. What I would love is if they had a calendar so you can enter appointments, a file storage area, and an address book. Strangest thing though... I've never noticed a single advertisement in gmail before. Weird. :confused:

My GMail goes down several times a week in the middle of the afternoon, but since I am on the other side of the world from you, that would be early morning for you. I am guessing they are doing maintenance or upgrading as they are frequently wont to do.

I've been using gmail for almost two years now and I have yet to encounter a problem (except in the first month when they first launched it, it was really bad then)

Before this I used hotmail and I can honestly say that gmail is 150% better than hotmail

It's down from time to time. Not as reliable as hotmail or yahoo. However, it can still receive e-mail when down though. So it's perfectly fine for me :D

I've found the gmail outages to be acceptable - they're usually very short in duration (literally a few minutes). Can't say that about other e-mail providers I've used, where they've been down for hours at a time (Hotmail included).

I have experienced quite a few outages too, but not lasting over ten to twenty minutes. It is annoying compared to others who provide better uptime albeit with less storage space.

By the way, I find that Gmail does not calculate the storage space accurately... Perhaps it includes all of the overhead space in the calculation of the total used storage space. I have already gone through two Gmail accounts...

By the way, you cannot delete more than one hundred e-mail messages at the same time with Gmail. I am pretty sure that it should be relatively easy to add.

And why does Gmail always put signatures at the bottom of a quoted message? The signature should go between the reply and the quoted material.
