    yes it’s been effecting me for the past 5 hours. It is disgraceful, what if people have important information they need to access from their email account? Another concern is whether or not email sent while the service is down will bounce or if it will be available when the service is up and running again.

    Its strange to see users of a *free* service whining on the outage. If you have important stuff, get a PoP account.
