Gmail outage

Numerous users today reported that Google’s email service, Gmail, was inaccessible, leaving them without their primary email communications.  The outage started around 11:30 this morning.

In an official statement Google said that they are aware that a number of people are having problems with Gmail and that they were "working hard to resolve this problem".  According to the UK’s Telegraph newspaper Google has “declined to say what has caused the Gmail outage, but the crash is particularly surprising because the service is usually very robust.”

Gmail is used by over 100 million people worldwide, making it the third most popular web based email service behind Hotmail and Yahoo.
