Gmail down, slow, or not working today

It is rare for Google to have problems relating to Gmail down or the login not working, but on occasion it can happen. Here we provide updates on where you check the latest Gmail service status and find out when it is not working in a particular area.

Google provides their own Gmail status checker here but the problem is that often it never updates in realtime. As a result, you can leave a comment below this page whenever you can’t sign into Gmail or if you have other problems with the app that you want feedback on.

  • Anne Schneider

    I cannot open my emails

  • stonemushroom

    I have to use Gmail in HTML for slow connections because it is that slow. Surely Google are seeing how many complaints they are getting, why aren’t they doing something about it?

  • Sa Brage

    Ever since their “upgrade” Gmail hasn’t worked properly once. It’s like it’s 1996 all over again. Am I using dial up now? Seriously, they should rename it to Garbage mail. Oh, it works mighty fine on a phone, but I guess they googs don’t want us desktop users to exercise any control over what we do. After all, phone apps require blanket permissions otherwise they don’t work. Desktop users can just go to hell in their world. It’s excruciatingly bad. It’s literally turned to s%% overnight.

  • Rocco

    Extremely slow. Not just the initial start but it does not react to mouse clicks. Labels of emails takes 10 seconds to load. Labels’ message count and selection takes minutes to reflect current conditions. (For instance, if I empty the trash, it still says I have messages in my trash). Please don’t let google use the excuse of telling you that there’s something wrong with your system and that you need to tweak something or clear your cache. “Clear your cache” is their number one BS tactic to try to blame you for their mistakes. That’s BS. The previous gmail worked fine and this one sucks. Plain and simple.

  • BrotherWes Miller

    About a month ago I got a notification that there was a recommended upgrade for my gmail account. So I accepted that and ever since my gmail has been crap! Loading takes from 2 – 3 minutes to non loading …..always slow. It’s very frustrating because I’ve used gmail for many years and NEVER had this issue.

    Sack whoever came up with the “redesign”!!!

    • William Warren Conkright

      Yeah is sucks ,they ruined it. Put it back and fire the people who developed the new version. they should have left it alone. I am switching to Thunderbird email client or God forbid YANDEX email ,it works great btw… Google blowing hard about supposed less secure apps… they just don’t want us to migrate away ba ha boo hoo… Monopoly Google with the chrome browser and all the android os phones tied to it pretty much…. That all needs to be broken up

    Dear Gmail Customers
    There are other issues as well which are due to some technical errors at the user’s end which could be rectified performing some rectification steps on the device in which the Email account is being used.
    here issues are not just with email accounts, one can encounter these kind of problems with any Email account. There are some activities that should be performed on the device at least once a week in order to get the Email account working fluently. Occasionally it has been noticed that a user is not able to sign into the account and there could be various reasons behind. May be it’s the server or may be you are not using the correct credentials or may be even if you are using the correct credentials it’s not letting you in.

    Thank You

    GMail is extremely slow. Problem seems limited to free Gmail. I have a business GMail account and there seems to be no problem with it, nor other websites I have visted. I have only 2 apps connected to my Gmail: zip extractor (connected to Google Drive) and iOS. Frequently have delyed sending, delayed deletion, delayed opening of emails.
