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

#242I use different browsers (in incognito mode), from different user accounts, to surf the web / do online banking / browser hacker news etc.
No plugins, no "sync" (heck, I don't even know what that "synch" for Chrome is), no issues.

Wow. One web service goes down and you can't even use your browser. Maybe this is a sign that they're too tightly integrated.
Or it could be, you know, a BUG
Not that everything I do is bugless, but separation of concerns isn't a swear word.

Chromium crash on Arch Linux with this message: http://pastebin.com/f9JMsPzT terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): bitset::set [1] 4934 abort (core dumped) chromium singing out of sync for now.. Edit: no crashes since I signed out of sync Edit2: found a more complete stack trace by somebody else: https://gist.github.com/4251938 Bug Report: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/…

That's best-case. I have backup-mx, but no real failover for imap or normal smtp (other than reading mailspool directly on the backup mx). I used to do a crazy flood-fill thing with 3 servers smtp forwarding mail and marking it, but doing mail HA correctly is kind of hard (and then keeping mailstore synced from imap in sync, too).
Yeah. We use glusterfs to handle the IMAP sync between multiple VMs for HA IMAP. SMTP MX clustering is pretty straightforward in comparison:)

Just to add some data: Did not crash for me. I am using sync and I have two gmail tabs open. However gmail has continued to work for me, only the chat has had some issues. Using dev build from canada.

I think what he's trying to say is his downtime is planned - kernel upgrades, configuration changes, that sort of thing. This is both somewhat true and somewhat not true. He's still vulnerable to failure of the hosting equipment and attacks from crackers. But, when he's the only admin, there's nobody else to fat-finger the server out of action, and if he only logs into the shell for service he will never fat-finger o…
Hardware breakages and Zero-Day exploits usually tend to show up at most inconvenient times. I'd recommend everybody to not own an email server from a pure business perspective, unless you're a mail server admin anyways. There's so much time you can sink in it and still not achieve the level of security and uptime a quality email host will reach for much less money. Now, there are arguments to run your own mailserver…
