Many Gmail users who tried to access the Gmail web interface were greeted with the error message “Server Error The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request” which meant that they were not able to log into their email account to check and send email messages. Google published several information on various of their websites concerning the outage which still does not seem to be fixed for all Gmail users. That’s at least what the Google Apps Status is currently displaying while the Gmail blog is reporting that the issue has been fixed and that Gmail should be up and running as usual.
A Yahoo Tech News article added some information about the Gmail outage which according to their information surfaced on Monday “wiping out e-mail to a small subset of users”. The outage that affected the majority of Gmail users started on Tuesday afternoon.
There is no word yet about the cause of the outage and if Google was able to recover the wiped emails of the users that were affected by the problem on Monday. Users who are still affected by the outage should be able to connect to Gmail using POP3 or SMTP connections.
