Something wrong with Gmail?

Posted by: John In: nerdTech

Anyone else having trouble using pop3 with Gmail for the last week or so? My mail client (apple mail) just never seems to be able to connect. I’m wondering if it’s a problem with Gmail, some character in my mail folder, or my client. Any ideas?

For the last two days, as soon as I open my gmail account, I receive a message stating that the Internet explorer is experiencing some problem and that it will close. And so it does

My emails do not arrive in chronological order. Emails sent hours earlier show up inserted in the correct place in my Inbox, but, again, they don’t come until hours after they’ve been sent even though other emails DO arrive.

I really count on gmail. It has been out for a week now. See what happens when you go public and let big business take over. Things go to pot. Getting greedy and don’t care how it effects. Any fix in Sight? I would normally check my e-mail for a response but it is FUBAR at the moment.

Yes, I’m absolutely fed up with Gmail. So many times I’ve tried to access my email, & you can guarantee that gmail is down.

Really, really poor. I thought Hotmail was bad, but Gmail is the worst of the lot

I can’t say I have had problems before but the last 24 hours I can’t access my gmail account. What’s up? Some singular emails can come up but the the gmail page is “Not able to be opened by Internet explorer.” Frustrating and interupting bussiness. It is not the Pop up blocker becasue I have tried that multiple ways — and tried to back in from the emails that will open. Nothing is working here.

I've been having same problem as of the last 5 days using crazy browser 1.06 which uses IE V6+engine.
If I switch to Firefox however I get access no problems whatsoever.
Another stuff-up caused by latest WinDoz'e upgrades I reckon LOL
