Yesterday was a day of outages for MobileMe and Gmail. Apple's MobileMe, which had a rocky introduction to begin with, saw a four and a half hour mail outage yesterday. MacRumors mentioned this outage yesterday but also took a look at MobileMe's overall uptime which is about 96%. That's not an impressive number when you put it into perspective.
If you use iGoogle, you'll be happy to know that there are actually options to backup, export or import your iGoogle personalized homepage. Here's how:
On multiple times, I, like many of you, have asked "why on Earth is Gmail still in beta?" It's been around for over three years now, don't you think it's about time? I thought it was, but now I'm starting to understand why Gmail is still in beta.
There have been plenty of occasions where I have been left wondering if I had lost everything in my Gmail account. If you don’t know about any of those situations that I’m talking about, just view all of the past occurrences that we have written about. People have lost every email in their account numerous times, and how do you know that you’re not going to be next?
Googling Google just posted about a Gmail suggestions site that I haven’t seen before. Previously I have always referred to this suggestion site that lists about 12 different options for you to choose from. Now, however, there is another suggestion site that has way more options available!
For the last 5–hours (maybe more) my Gmail account has been inaccessible, and it is times like these that makes me worry that I could have just lost all of my emails. Sure, I have seen Gmail outages before, but when they are as extensive as this one it really makes me question the stability.
Gmail is at it yet again and this time they are performing magic tricks that many of us have never seen first-hand...they are making your email messages disappear before your very eyes! Hey, I never said it was a positive magic trick, now did I?
Gmail, the popular webmail that offers over 2 gigs of storage space (and counting) has been experiencing outages again, frustrating users for hours-- even up to a day.
It appears that GMail has been having some issues lately with users receiving a 404 error while trying to login. I think most people have experienced this kind of error at some time or another. This situation is a little different because people are claiming that the emails that were sent to them during the outage do not show up.
