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

This literally went down about 45 seconds ago for me. Check again?

Got an email 5 minutes ago, just sent one to another gmail account a minute ago and just got a reply.

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.

Happened to me as well.

Aye! 2 times in a row!

For what it's worth, I haven't had any crashes with either Chromium or Chrome on Ubuntu, but I'm not signed into my Google account via either.

It looks like mail.google.com is back though. I guess I opened them after the issue was fixed.

I'm sure Outlook.com will never, ever have an outage.

Yes, Chrome is crashing every two minutes or so for me as well. I think it has to do with Gmail being open in one tab while Gmail is down.

This is very bad.
