GMail is down, but you can still get your mail

GMail is down, but you can still get your mail

Right now, access to the web version of GMail is down for some.  Users are greeted with a server error and offered little comfort.  A quick look at Twitter will help you access your mail even if the first option is down.  The first is iGoogle’s mail widget.  If you don’t already have the widget there, go to google.com/ig and then click “Add Stuff” on the top right of the page.  A quick search for “Gmail” will get you a gadget that will give you access to your mail. 

Another work around is simply using IMAP or POP.  You can use Google’s detailed directions at the following link.  Good luck.
