Innocent folks like me have been switching their loyalty to Google purely on the basis of hope that a competitive service will be available . It is disheartening to see that some thing we have placed our trust and held in high regard is starting to fail us.
I was trying to log in to Gmail the whole week in vain and it was the time I was expecting some critical mail from my prospective employers.
Nothing stop me from being ever faithful to Google despite the setbacks

I think there is a difference between not available and acount being deleted,we can live without hotmail,gmail for a day or two but being deleted without your consent,there is a big problem.I wish someone can contect google and post their answer of what realy happened and if this thing will happen in future.thanks

I have my other email accounts forward to Gmail, and pick everything up from Gmail by POP3 access. When I send an email via SMTP from my desktop or laptop, I BCC it to Gmail. That way I have one copy of everything on Gmail, and a second copy of everything on my own PC, and even a third copy in the original mailboxes for a few days.

I see the error message that Gmail is temporarily unavailable fairly frequently. Nothing to get upset about. Of course they haven’t deleted my account yet!

Bob, did you try going to the Gmail help center and asking them to help?

>>i’m reading this thread because my email has been down and was wondering whether there was any problem with it.

I was here for the same reason and got a nasty shock to read somebody lost his account. I had no backup either. But my email is back now and I am going to take a backup tonight !!

I know the service is “free” to the user, however, it is us who bring them business and drive their stocks up high. If we all decide to boycott Gmail and any of their advertisers, they might be more inclined to fix the problems. It really is not free, it is paid for by advertising resulting from all of our bisiness. Let’s send a message.

Although i’m not fussing over this, i’m just stating that my account has just gone down now as well - We’re sorry, but Google Mail is temporarily unavailable. We’re currently working to fix the problem — please try logging in to your account in a few minutes.

It’s a free service, it’s expected. I couldn’t access my hotmail account earlier today for a little while as the server was too busy, but Hotmail / MSN has way more downtime than gmail (imo)

backup–> pop your email locally (to your hd) using a pop3 software (thunderbird, eudora)

Mine just dropped… seems like this problem is spreading. I love GMail but they need to work out these issues. These kind of bugs drive users away in droves. Features and space matter far less than reliable service.

Yeah but if they offered a paid service - Id pay!

Is there any easy way to back up your gmail account?

Mine is also down now! ah!!

No backup = bad. We all know the drill. Depending on and then bitching about a FREE service is kinda silly. You want something important, yet are not willing to spend any money, time, or resources to assure its saftey. Sounds like disaster waiting to happen to me. OK, Google should not screw up like that, but it could have been hacked also, or maybe somone else has your password?
