Today I was not able to get emails in Gmail. first i thought that may be some connection problem but again & again i got the error that says "Temporary Error (500)" and the message, "We're sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes."
I also went over to Twitter Search to see what other people were saying, and by surprise I'm getting to many similar cases with the keyword "Google mail" & "Gmail" People are saying that yes Gmail is down. & Google Mail also appear in top ten Twitter "Trending Topics" It seems that the outage was in Europe & Asia. Mostly in Europe because people there call Gmail "Google Mail". Google have no permission to use "Gmail" in part of Europe because of copy rights.
This is not first time that Gmail having an outage.Well for free users or Gmail & Google Apps it's nothing new But for paying Google Apps customers, Google promises 99.9 percent uptime for Google Apps premier user
