| | | Anyone Else Experiencing Issues With Gmail?
For the last several days my Gmail account is taking forever to load, and many times I have to refresh just to get it to show up.
Anyone else having issues with gmail?

Sorry; it's me. I am currently sending the entire corpus of Canadian literature on hockey paraphernalia (the ONLY thing we have in our libraries) via gmail to my friend in Tibet. It should be quicker sometime in the new year.

Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping my computer didn't have a bug that only was distrubed by gmail.

I seem to be the odd man out here; Gmail is the primary service I use every day, and I've had no problems at all (even in speed) the past few days. Go figure...

I've had no problems, but Google are doing some weird things with it. I think they are updating it.

| They are. New version has IMAP support among other things. I'm having problems with my Gmail account because of it.

I'm glad you mentioned this problem. I thought it was my location....the Wisconsin boonies. I've been using the html version to use my email.

I thought it was my location...I'm glad I am not alone!!! So, I guess we'll have to ask the brains here on the PB to start up a new email service. I mean, look at the PB! QUALITY!!!

It's been pretty annoying for me as I use gmail often. I hope it gets fixed soon as it's already been DAYS (pushing a week).

mine's been fine . . . or at least, any problems I've had I've blamed on my computer (which is dying a slow, agonizing death)

Try this. You may need to clean your cache.

Noticed some changes this morning.
It's easier to embed hyperlinks. And you can test the hyperlinks before you send the message.
Good stuff.

Switching to G-mail was the smartest move I've made in e-mail. I used to host my own e-mail server but it was such a hassle.

Josh is right.
This is the message I keep getting (still today)
This seems to be taking longer than usual.

I've been using Gmail for a year now haven't experienced any difficulties with it. Your problem seems to coincide with the introduction of their IMAP upgrade (which I'm thrilled with) so this might have had something to do with it.

How many of you who ARE having issues with Gmail, use Windows Vista? I found that all my problems are solved by clicking on "Older Version" in upper right hand corner.
