Googlemail problems

  • Anyone having problems with googlemail today / last night.

    Tried to send a email last night several times, failed tried again this morning twice failed.

    Is it just me or anyone else having problems?

    Ta.

  • Me too, on the iphone last night - thought it was just my incompetence - but maybe not...

  • nope.

  • i did a while back.

  • I have to switch to standard html sometimes here in the orifice, as the new version won't load up properly. So give that a shot, or switch back to the old version using the option at the top.

  • hmmm mixed one one this then I'll have to try again later. Ta.

  • Nope.. gmail is more reliable than my Exchange connection at work.
    They can take it down randomly for repairs and stuff so sometimes you will have random fails.
    I live with it since it works 99% of the time.

  • mine's working fine.

  • Ive been usign gmail since the beta invite only stage and have never had any problems with it

  • The problem was weird in the end the mail ended up sending but the page got stuck on the "sending mail" page so never appeared to send.

  • mine was sent a couple blank messages :(

  • just had googlemail offer to change me to @gmail.com, I always just used that anyway, so what's the difference?

    anyone else get this today?

  • Well even if you use gmail.com, all mail you send quotes googlemail.com. That's the only difference I think.

    So it caused a few pobs for me when corresponding with places where i registered with a gmail address, and they question why the email they recieve is from googlemail.

  • warning - if you have an android phone and do the switch, be prepared for a bunch of problems (probably forcing you to reset the phone)

  • that's good to know. What if someone in the US has the same user name eg fixieprick (@gmail.com)
    with someone in the uk fixieprick (@googlemail.com) ??

  • can't happen. They're linked. If you have a googlemail.com address and sent an email to yourself but used gmail.com it would still go to you.

  • Horatio's right. it seems they're just changing what the outbound email address will look like.

    As I said earlier, I just used @gmail.com all the time anyway.

    I'm on a blackberry, I should be fine as it's POP on my email or is that the same as the andriod email service too?
