Gmail Problems

# re: Gmail Problems 9/14/2005 3:57 PM ErnieDog

It's been at least 2 weeks since I was able to log on to gmail. Same error message each time. Something about the user name and password.
Oh Well,

# re: Gmail Problems 9/23/2005 8:47 AM green

Hi, if you have a problem accessing your inbox (everytime i tried to log on 'loading' appeared in the left hand corner and kept flashing) try going to to your internet options under Tools. Click setting, view files, then select all those files and delete them. This worked for me :)

# re: Gmail Problems 9/25/2005 2:09 PM Stacey

I am geting the loading thing and nothing is working to fix it, does anyone have any suggestions?

# re: Gmail Problems 9/26/2005 4:09 AM Richard West

I have been getting the server error problems - intermittently till today. Today I have been unable to logon for 5 hrs. Like you I think an alternate mail solution is the only answer. Shame though as I liked google till this. I can't work out why they don't make some sort of statement. I assume they realise they have a problem?

# re: Gmail Problems 9/26/2005 8:38 AM Peter Stathakos

Stacey,

The only thing I have found in the case of getting the "loading" message and nothing else is to maybe try the Gmail Notifier. You can find it by googling on "gmail notifier".

I have found the case where I close the browser window without logging out of Gmail (force of habit) sometimes results in me getting the "loading" message if I try to log in through the browser again. However, since I use the notifier on one of my machines, I can log in through that without any problem.

Then, once I finish and log out of Gmail the right way, I can log back in through the browser again from any machine. Does that make sense? You might want to give that a shot.

# re: Gmail Problems 9/26/2005 8:55 AM Peter Stathakos

Richard,

You can be sure that the people at Google know that they are having these issues and are working on them. I guess that's why the project is still in Beta and they limit the number of users. They don't seem to be too open on communication with users though, so there's no official word (that I know of) as to these issues.

If you're using Gmail as your primary email (especially for business purposes) it may be a good idea to go with another solution for the time being as you suggest.

# re: Gmail Problems 9/29/2005 6:59 AM Christina DiChiara

I've also been having problems accessing my gmail account. Instead of loading the page, the word "loading" comes up and the address bar just keeps clicking until you finally close internet explorer. I've had this problem since yesterday, and haven't had it with any other websites or email accounts I have.

# re: Gmail Problems 9/29/2005 4:47 PM Sri

I live in North America I am getting "page loading message for the past 4 days. I guess I should stop using gmail.

# re: Gmail Problems 10/5/2005 2:14 AM Garnet

All I get is 'page can't be displayed' whether I go through my ISP or IEI can't access either of my gmail accounts.

# re: Gmail Problems 10/5/2005 6:32 AM Andres

Deleting your cookies is the solution. As AM Green says look in Tools>Internet Options>View Files and then CTRL+A, then DEL, close your browser, open it again and you could reach your inbox in just a second.
Thanks Green

# re: Gmail Problems 10/5/2005 9:12 AM Peter Stathakos

Hi all.

It seems that most of the issues being reported lately are either with the system being unavailable or with an actual error message. If the system appears unavailable, it usually comes back within an hour, so I guess it's just wait and try again later...

If you're getting an error message like the "Oops.." error or the "Waiting" message which does not go away, I'd suggest trying the Gmail troubleshooting list here:

gmail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=133

Most of the solutions are along the lines of clear your cache a few times and try again. Hope that helps...

# re: Gmail Problems 10/6/2005 2:18 AM Robert

I haven't been able to log in to gmail for the past 2 days... I keep getting the "Server Error" message, and gmail notifier says the service is temporarily unavailable. Anyone knows anything about any problems @gmail?

# re: Gmail Problems 10/7/2005 12:15 AM stya

# re: Gmail Problems 10/10/2005 4:37 AM michael

regretted subscribe to gmail...unable to log in .." loading"keep on coming on without gaining access to my account..should have stick with hotmail

# re: Gmail Problems 10/10/2005 6:15 AM Dave

When 'loading...' is on the screen, add an S after http for a secure webpage....brings the page right up...not sure what google is doing right now but this works....

# re: Gmail Problems 10/13/2005 3:54 AM Hani "DataHunter"

Hi, I can't access my gmail account from internet explorer, after authentication the web browser show a lot of rubbish strange characters & then nothing happened, this is not the first problem, some times gmail accounts can't be accessed from mail clients for a while until you reset your gmail POP configuration manually

Gmail server is down seems to be since the
early morning

# re: Gmail Problems 10/18/2005 8:48 AM Dheeraj

I want to know whether GMail supports Mapping images for <a></a> in HTML Files.

# re: Gmail Problems 10/26/2005 7:03 AM Dr. Rakesh Belwal

Hi ...thanks to Arslan..

If you have the problem in accessing your gmail account with loading message appearing all the time than you can also try going to to your internet options under Tools. Click setting, view files, then select all those files and delete them.

This also worked for me ....GMail is nice...dont think of getting rid from it.

Thanx green, it worked for me also :)

# Gmail Problems 10/27/2005 12:39 PM hina

what is this yar infact its not even open the home page of gmail.i had my assignment over ther how can i get it?

# re: Gmail Problems 10/27/2005 12:58 PM Peter Stathakos

Hina,

Try clearing your browser's cache. If that does not work try again in a while. There were some issues earlier today, I was not able to access my email for about half an hour earlier.

# re: Gmail Problems 10/31/2005 6:19 PM tobabella

I had unusual amount of mail because I WAS TRAPPED IN HURACANE Wilma in Cancun. Everybody ,friends and family, overloaded my mail acct. trying to find out if I was dead or alive.
Now I am locked out of my account.
How can I solve this?

# re: Gmail Problems 10/31/2005 7:25 PM Margaret

ooops....meant CAN'T access gmail....

# re: Gmail Problems 2/11/2006 4:58 PM Bruce

Can't access Gmail for whole day today, even I delete all the tempory internet files. Maybe it's because the new "chat" service in gmail.

# re: Gmail Problems 2/13/2006 2:41 PM Peter Stathakos

It seems like Gmail has been hammered lately. It probably has something to do with the new talk being rolled out to everyone.

The best thing is to keep trying (and maybe clear out your browser's cache).

# re: Gmail Problems 2/15/2006 12:46 AM Caroline

Clearing the cache worked for me! Thanks for the tip :-)

# re: Gmail Problems 2/15/2006 4:17 AM firefox

I believe GMail and IE are not as compatible as GMail and Firefox.
I have this same prob with GMail using IE but if I use Firefox instead then everything is fine...
maybe it's made on purpose uh?
LOL

# re: Gmail Problems 2/20/2006 5:59 PM Selene

I am not able to send my e-mails especialy if they have attachments

# re: Gmail Problems 2/23/2006 5:12 AM Rich

When I try signing in it just goes to a page that says 'loading' and stays there. If I try and refresh it, the same happens again. Whats going on??

# re: Gmail Problems 2/23/2006 8:38 AM Peter Stathakos

Selene and Rich,

Try clearing your browser's cache and see if that helps. To do this in Internet Explorer go to Tools | Internet Options and click on Delete Files and then Delete Cookies.

It may take time to delete each if you have alot built up.

Please note: This will also delete any saved login names, passwords etc. which many sites use, so you will have to log in to your favourite sites. Your mileage may vary.

# re: Gmail Problems 2/24/2006 8:18 AM Vick

Funny, on windows I can't get in no matter what I do, clear cookies, files, kill firewall, flush dns, site exception, yadda yadda.
Same problem on all my browsers, netscape, ie, firefox, etc.
But on my linux/firefox I log in just fine.

# re: Gmail Problems 3/3/2006 1:44 AM Renjith R.G.

I am using Windows 2000 with Internet explorer 6 sp1.

I cannot login to my gmail account, a "loading......" message comes at the top left of a blank page, and the page is done with exclamation mark in yellow triangle(which I found from the status bar of internet browser).

# re: Gmail Problems 3/4/2006 12:34 AM Dimitris Spanos

My problem is a bit unusual. I click on "Contacts" and I ONLY see 2 tabs: "Frequently Mailed" and "All Contacts". The "Groups" tag is NOT there, and therefore I cannot create groups! Anyone else has this problem?

ALSO, the new chat service is NOT ebabled yet in my account!

Problems, problems!!!

I emailed Google twice about his

I'm in Germany, no email for 18 hours now. Google "custom home page" won't show email previews, nothing. AT work I can't just install a patch, they got us locked down from installing anything. Thanks to the Man.
Hope this outage ends soon!!

# re: Gmail Problems 3/20/2006 7:44 PM David

The problem is that GMAIL has been having severe email system problems of late. I use pop3 and cant send emails. So if I go to the web site it has"Gmail server is down... please check again in a few moments."

I think that GMAIL is in severe growing pains and they are having severe network / server problems that they can not seem to fix.

Don't ask where I saw it, but altering the gmail URL to https: from http: started mine working again. Of course the gmail notifier still fails. This got me by the Loading... problem. But then this AM, there seems to be a different problem.

# re: Gmail Problems 5/4/2006 8:09 AM PPafford

I had the same problem, "Not being able to login to Gmail with firefox" - its actually not firefox tha was my problem. I am running "Zone Alarms free addition" and this was the cause of the problem. "THE FIX" - open zone alarms control center and click on the "Program Control tab". This window has 2 tabs "Main" and "Programs" click the "Programs Tab" and make sure the firefox under "Access" has 2 "GREEN" check marks and under "Server" it has 2 blue "QUESTION MARKS". relaunch firefox and you good to go.

# re: Gmail Problems 5/10/2006 8:31 PM gadyb

Hey folks,

Thanks, this is the first forum i found that addresses these problems after a few that required paying etc, i think.

I had problems with my gmail since yesterday night, infinitie redirecting when logging in and nothing appears. Nothing helped, including disabling firewalls and filters and deleting cache. Then i suddenly discovered that i accidentally changed my computer's date settings for two months ahead (when checking for the day of the week in two months i accidentally set it). I returned it to the current date today and voila! It's solved, gmail works fine again.

Hope this will help the few of you whose problem might be similar.

Hi J John,

This thread contains quite a few ideas that have worked for other users such as clearing your browser's cache or trying a secure connection (https://) etc. I would suggest reading through the comments and trying to implement those ideas.

I have noticed that Gmail has been a bit of a pain this past week while connecting, but usually waiting a few minutes and trying again has done the trick for me.

Good luck!

Hi all,

It looks like there are some big issues going on with Gmail but the mail is getting through so I guess you just have to wait a bit and try again. It is kind of crazy that these issues are still happening. I guess that's why Gmail is still in Beta...

I've been having problems for 2.5 hrs. I was able to get in once, btu I can't open my emails, dleete spam, or do anything... My husband has an account as well, he has no trouble getting in. He doesn't have all the personalized home page like I do - maybe that's the difference? I tried to get rid of the personalized homepage (delete all bookmarsk, etc) but I can't even get into Settings. Any ideas?

What the F is happening with Gmail?!!! My job depended on their service and I can only enter with basic HTML and the loading is so late. Someone with connection to Gmail personnel PLS ask them to do something about it!. I don't want to lose my job because of their sudden F*** UP service.

gmail has been totally inaccessible for days. I thought it was infallible ! No apologies or explanations offered...............

# re: Gmail Problems 12/20/2006 6:33 PM Peter

Um, if your job depends on Gmail, or you expect apologies from Google then maybe you should keep a few things in mind.
1. Gmail is still technically in Beta, so you should expect problems.
2. You get what you pay for. If you really depend on it, you may want to look around at other options, or at least some redundant systems.

Just saying...
