Thanks both. Just found out by going onto Twitter too
It seems to be working fine using IMAP on outlook, if that helps anybody.
I take that back... it is working on and off. Mostly off now.

===========================================
This works for me:
imap.gmail.com
Port:993
SSL
Password: Same as webmail
eta my google notifier doesn't work either.
Not with either with me, but did work once with mail
oh wel.. very annoying cos my GMail extension in FF has told me I've got new mail.. grrrr... hope it gets reseolved soon..sigh
Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.
Setting up Thunderbird kind of defeats the objective of Gmail, really :rolleyes:
I guess I'll have to do it to read my 'urgent' messages
I thought it was just me. If there is one thing Twitter is good for it is http://search.twitter.com put in Gmail in the search and literally within minutes there are people confirming that Gmail is in fact down!
I wouldn't mind usually, I am not a big email user, but today of all days when I need it more than ever?! Google you have let me down!! lol. We are probably making things a lot worse by always refreshing, we must be hammering Google's servers!
Why? Please explain.
Most irritating.
Yes. Please do.....:)
Well, you can't install Thunderbird on, say a Cybercafe PC... Whereas, you can access your Gmail through any web browser on any machine...
Gmail seems to be back now, but I get an error when sending... something is still borked...
I would say that very few people on this forum access it via cybercafe and have their own PCs.
Having Gmail access via TB does not stop you accessing your e-mail by the web!
I access gmail via the web at least once a day as I find it easier to delete my spam using a browser. For reading mail TB is better as I have add-ons that allow me to arrange my incoming e-mail better.
And? Run Thunderbird as mail client at home, set it to leave all the mail on the server and use the web-interface when out and about. Easy.
I am not trying to debate the advantages and disavantages of a local email client versus a web based email client here!
I was just saying that it defeats the objective of Gmail (what its initial and main purpose is). I am sure it is can be used in other ways and whatever suits you best. You go for it! :rolleyes:
Do you know how IMAP works? Because form the above it looks like you do not
