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.

  • Heidi Mitrushi

    My gmail account is very slow – both yesterday and today, 9/3/20. It’s my business email account, so I’m losing precious work minutes waiting for gmail to catch up to me all day long.

  • Charlie

    I can’t log into google chrome email today 08/31/20. It won’t even take me to the login page. This has never happened before.

  • Nancy Sy

    Gmail works normal/fast for me when I open / access it with Safari. With Chrome – it sucks to the point of useless.

  • Wayne Dishman

    Gmail group email all bounced back to my inbox. Got message from every person on the group listing that my email was blocked. I’ve sent group emails without issues in the past 2 weeks

  • Euclid Balili Escultor Jr

    Hi I am from Phils, I cant attached files and cant send email. it says : “Message could not be sent. Check your network and try again”

  • Peter Hunt

    Just tried forwarding a received email that had an attachment. It did not send.
    This was the message: “Message could not be sent. Check your network and try again”.
    I checked my network connection
    There is no problem with my network connection

  • Peter Hunt

    Hi, I am having the same problem. Receiving is not a problem. Receiving emails with attachment is not a problem. Sending a just a typed message is not a problem. The issue is that Gmail will not upload attachments. The upload appears to be slow then near to the end of the uploading process the “Ooops message something went wrong” comes up.. Sometimes the upload is successful, but then when you hit send the message is not sent . . . . the Oops message comes up again. Then a more formal SENDING ERROR in a red box comes up with a note to try again later. Does Google know about this problem.

  • M M

    Gmail wont send mails nor attachments.

  • Kristine Pelingon

    Gmail not letting me send an email nor attach a file.

  • Marilia Coutinho

    I cannot receive emails from two institutional servers. My institutional email from these servers doesn’t receive emails either on the gmail platform. Everything was working until a couple of weeks ago.

  • Lala Land

    Here it is, August 8, and I haven’t gotten one video through my gmail account again. Two days in a row. Yesterday, I thought it was the 8th, but it was the 7th. So, August 7 & 8, no videos in my gmail account at all.

  • Lala Land

    I’ve received none of my Gmail videos today, August 8, and few of my usual emails. This is the first time this has happened. I always get at least 20 videos a day. If I go to the you tube, the videos have been made, they’re just not being sent, at least to me.

    I’m not getting emails in Gmail. I’m trying to log into a web site and the code verification email I need isn’t arriving. That’s on Windows 10 laptop. I also booked a holiday on a different PC and didn’t get the confirmation email, although the booking was confirmed. I have tried different computers, browsers and looked on Android also. I used two different Gmail accounts, but no verification emails are coming through. I checked spam too – July 22nd 2020

  • sandra

    gmail slow as of July 5th 2020 at about 9pm. Over an hour now and still slow. At first my computer had to do updates and I let it run. Then It turned back on and I wanted to delete about 3K emails I had. I deleted about 900 or so. Then it happened. I searched for one person’s email and it just froze. I had to reboot my computer. I can’t stand using MS Edge. But I did use it for 10 minutes. It must be something wrong with Chrome.

  • icare

    Gmail is not working for me…..yet again. This is getting to be a pain in the ass.

  • Marie McNally

    Sharp TV connected to Samsung BD-J5700 – stream Amazon Prime Video. Setting for auto connect when anything turned on. Last few days, nothing works. Auto connect loops to one place, flickers, disappears and loops again. Service perfect before, now cannot use at all. Have turned everything off for hours and tried again. Could the national power outage earlier this week have damaged my electronics? Any ides how to fix this problem? Use AT&T internet.

  • Anne Schneider

  • 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.

    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
