I do everything in Google Apps. I have a lot of my docs there, my calendar, but most of all, my mail. I have my personal domains running on Gmail, and they are down. Apparently they had issues early this morning, but seemed to have been resolved. Until now.
I’m too cheap to buy the premium apps for my domains, but the free version does everything I want anyway. However, at work I’m piloting Gmail for enterprise email. There we have premium. It’s down also. This is a bit disappointing, but depending on how long it takes for Google to resolve things, it probably won’t affect my preference for Google apps.

Docs, Calendar and Sites all appear to be working, but Gmail is still down. Getting a 502 Server Error.

I’m logged back into my enterprise gmail, but when I select an email to read, I get an error “The conversation that you requested no longer exists”. Closer, but not quite there yet.

Google just tweeted that your email is accessible via IMAP and POP, but the web interface isn’t working yet.

I’m back into my enterprise and personal accounts. Here’s to hoping things are resolved for good.
