Do you have a signature image or other attachment? It sends instantly without, fails with [on the desktop web client]. The google drive server they save our stuff on is giving a 503.

My email drafts can't even save. A popup saying "Oops, something went wrong. Recent changes may not have been saved." No images either!

Hmm odd. I had a draft from this morning (I took a photo on my phone, attached, then went to desktop later to type the rest up). It would not send and kept popping up that error you mentioned while typing. As soon as I deleted the attachment, I could send it. New emails with nothing attached work fine too in all 3 accounts.

That would explain why my ETLs are failing at 3am in the morning !!!

Your ETL processes write to google drive or are dependent on email? Earnest question, don't mean to sound derisive.

I'm assuming some kind of workflow which uses email notifications, and only goes to the next step if the email notification succeeds..?
