    I've been trying to load http://mail.google.com/ for the last half hour and it's not been working.

    Anyone else having this problem? :)

    Aha! So it's not just me then!

    It must be something to do with the UK google. It really sucks because all my VoIP settings are in my gmail account, and I can't set my SIP Phone without them!

    Handy that I have access to a machine in the states then, eh? :)

    Lapsed, if you want an invite, you need to send one of us a PM with your email address.


    Your Goldiness, you probably didn't empty your inbox.

    That sometimes gets full, like your PM box. :p

    There's more than one URL for it.....gmail.com and mail.google.com


    by the way, did Google stop doing the invitations thing?

    Well, I've got 2.5GB worth of mail space and I'm using 10% of it - I don't think I need to empty it :p

    I'm dissapointed - gmail has been a bit flakey recently. Dunno what's going on.

    Only problem I've had is apparently all of my friends seem to forget that I too have an email address. I never get anything exciting. Then again I never get much mail at all haha

    Dont want to teach an old hand to suck eggs, but as beta this is expected now and again and as google have been adding a few new things to the Gmail service... do I think they are needed ( Gmail Chat and Web Clips *RSS* feed ) well no I think in the short time they are impacting on the service and speeds, Google could end up with a bloated mess if they are not careful.

    Plus I wonder if they may add the rumored GDrive to be part of your Gmail alloted storage space, thus impacting the mail serive more.

    Hmm.... perhaps. But in the past they've managed to add functionality without much of an impact to service. In reality yes it's still in Beta and they're still playing with it, but if you didn't know that it was in beta up until recently you wouldn't be able to tell! There were some pretty bad problems to start with, but there was a very long stretch where it was working perfectly.

    What'd be really nice is a "service status" page for gmail. That'd be cool :)
