Is this affecting Chrome as well? Looks like it might be a bigger problem. It just crashed for three guys in our office within a few seconds of each other. Edit: Nobody was using Gmail at any point.

Same here.

My Chrome crashed a few minutes ago too, no Gmail open, but I do use an extension which checks it for me.

Edit: Looks like Chrome Sync is causing the crashes.

Chrome just crapped out for me too - I suspect it was polling the mothership or the like, but can't be sure

I've had Chrome crash on me twice now with GMail trying to open.

I've been on it for the past hour without a problem. It must be server/account specific.

I think it's a pretty large outage. https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=gmail&src=typd

Probably not the time to rub people's face in it, but I host my own mail server because of crap like this.

I can confirm Chrome crashed around the time of Gmail going down too.

Happened to me as well.
