So, at the 2012 I/O conference Google announced there were 425million gmail users. I'll tack an extra 75million to make things an even 500mil for growth over the last year. That's 12million affected users.

500 million * 0.00024 = 120,000

I can confirm our service is having issues right now with delayed inbound emails. We are Google Apps for Business users, non edu/gov. Not all users are effected just specific domains within the account.

We've been reporting delayed inbound emails to Gmail (Google Apps) since Friday 13th.

Glad to see they're now acknowledging it, though the percentage affected listed here seems remarkably low, considering an informal survey of employees and clients suggests from 1 in 50 increasing to 1 in 20 affected over the past week, with delays up to 24 hours.

Us too. Seems that when you attach a file, it's even less likely to go through.

Not sure about you, but I find these status updates a little insulting: http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&ts=1379995199...

At least with my cloud servers if there is an issue I at least get an idea of what is going on or an expectation of resolution. Google... what is really going on that an issue remains unresolved for 3-4hrs impacting paying users.

TIMEZONE!

I wish they (and others) would include timezone information. I always have to second-guess if its PST, EST, GMT or something else.

It's been updated to say "less than 50% of Gmail users" now. We're seeing it across most/all of our accounts.
