Unless it's a coincidence, I don't think this is just Gmail as I am seeing slow, failed networks connections to services in Google Cloud.

#22Side note: Love the 2010-era web design. Wtf happened? Everything got bloated, buttons got huge and whitespace took over the screen real-estate.
Touch on smaller screens became the primary interface. Fingers fat, buttons big.
Yeah, I get that. But why punish the Desktop users with mobile interface? We used to punish Mobile users with Desktop interface back then, we just reversed the problem, didn't actually solve it.
They should be 2 separate things. 2 separate css files with @media select. 2 separate button sizes and styles.
I know what happened - designers got lazy.

Designers need to justify their continued employment.

This is pretty much the worst response possible. Hard bounces mean that email delivery services are going to start automatically removing, or at least stopping delivery to, entire slews of email addresses. A lot of clean up is going to be needed as a result of this. To add some more details, when using a 3rd party email delivery service, those services will either black-list or just outright remove email addresses wh…
Yes. I email hundreds of thousands of Gmail users each week (yes, double opt in, they all want the mails!) and we immediately delete any user for whom any Gmail error comes up at all in order to keep a solid delivery record with them. Sounds like we might have deleted 80% of our list if we'd sent today..!

I can't see the buttons (mobile)

Yeah, I like rich, data-heavy, information dense desktop displays. Mobile UIs are such garbage, not to mention shit like reddit that only is able to process a request 30% of the time.

My sanity tests started acting flaky ~3 hours ago, I never thought it was Gmail...
Kind of happy I had to do something else and I didn't burn hours investigating.

#29We are using a gmail inbox to process some business-critical emails in bulk. I guess those emails will be lost forever? Thankfully, we have backups, but we will have to move them to the inbox or elsewhere to have them processed. Edit: As an update, we usually have at least 100 emails come in every hour, and I am seeing none since 4:02 pm EST
Yup. It also seems to be affecting some of our G Suite accounts - although not all(?)
Not a good week for Google

#30Over the past 24 hours, I've had GitHub request that I re-verify my gmail three times (roughly 22 hours ago, 2 hours ago, and now), each time resetting my primary email's status to "Undeliverable" and "Unverified" The triggering event may be an email bounce. I get a lot of github notifications sent to my email, and the failure of just one/a few may trigger the reverification.
Yep, there was a very similar event yesterday, approx. 22 hours ago: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&sid=1&iid=10...
