About Gmail
Gmail is Google's email service, used by consumers and by organisations through Google Workspace. Consumer and Workspace accounts share infrastructure, so outages often affect both.
Common Gmail problems
- Unable to load the inbox in the web interface while the mobile app still shows cached mail.
- Sending failures, with messages stuck in the outbox.
- Delayed incoming mail, messages arrive hours later once a queue clears.
- Attachment upload failures while plain messages send normally.
- Google account sign-in problems, which affect Gmail alongside Drive, Docs and YouTube.
Where to check officially
- Google publishes a detailed status dashboard for Workspace services, including Gmail, at google.com/appsstatus.
- That dashboard is genuinely maintained during incidents and is the authoritative source.
- We combine it with news coverage and user reports.
What to do when Gmail is down
- Check the Workspace status dashboard first, for Gmail it is reliable and specific.
- Do not resend a stuck message repeatedly. Queued messages usually deliver, and recipients receive duplicates otherwise.
- Use the mobile app if the web interface fails; they use different front ends.
- Check whether other Google services fail, that indicates an account-authentication problem rather than a mail-specific one.
- Businesses: mail is queued, not lost. Incoming mail from other providers is retried for hours or days before bouncing.

- Is email lost during a Gmail outage?
- Almost never. Sending mail servers retry delivery for an extended period, so messages arrive once Gmail recovers.
- Why does the app work but the website does not?
- The mobile app shows locally cached mail and uses a different front end than the web interface, so one can fail while the other appears to work.
