just checking..seems this is the first time this might have happened with gmail

ManOfSteal · Jan 22, 2005, 06:23 PM

Only web access is having issues I believe, as my POP access is still working just fine.

V12 · Jan 22, 2005, 06:26 PM

Angus_D · Jan 22, 2005, 06:28 PM

Web access working fine here.

shabbasuraj · Jan 22, 2005, 06:30 PM

lavar78 · Jan 22, 2005, 06:44 PM

Are GmailStatus and gCount working for anyone? Neither has worked for me in the last few days.

TailsToo · Jan 22, 2005, 06:47 PM

gcount is broke now.

Google was just bought out by Microsoft, hence the sudden server issue. Keep checking MOSR for more details.

if that's true we better start looking for a new search engine, coz micro$haft are bound to f**k it up

I don't see any mention of it on MOSR, and even if there were, I'd be hard-pressed to believe it.

Well, I wouldn't call it unbelievable. Wasn't MS trying to buy Google some time last year?

tooki · Jan 22, 2005, 07:57 PM

Could be, I don't remember. But as of late, MS has been working on their own new search engine, so it'd be an unlikely time to try and buy Google anyway.

My Gmail status was showing 0 for the past day or so when I know I've had at least 1 unread email in my inbox. Now it just shows an X. I can still access it using FireFox though.

Don't worry Go... Man.. uhh... baseball person, I got cha there.

Oh and Gmail's workin for me. Wasn't working through my school's proxy a few days ago but that's because I didn't have all the proxy settings right.

Big Mac · Jan 23, 2005, 12:36 AM

Having no problem with Gmail at this time.

No.

I just needed a new version of GmailStatus.

Congrats. Please bring back the sig.

lavar78 · Jan 23, 2005, 10:13 AM

Yeah, thanks! I hope gCount 0.5 comes out soon, because I like it a little more than GmailStatus.

What are the differences between the two?

Mafia · Jan 23, 2005, 03:10 PM

i just use mail with gmail.

One feature GmailStatus has over gCount is that it shows what label the new mail has. However, I prefer gCount simply because it has an icon (not the number of unreal messages) that changes color when you have new mail. I like how that catches my attention.

I like the look of gCount, it looks cleaner. I will probably make the switch when the new version comes out.

One of the best shows ever to air, in my opinion.

Mine as well. In fact, I'd have to say it's my all-time favorite. You know the DVDs are finally coming out in May, right?

Yeah, I've had them on pre-order since last January. I'm glad they are FINALLY releasing them.

Yeah, I ordered on December 5, 2003 and Amazon's still "processing." I made some bare-bones DVDs using my TiVo, iMovie, and iDVD about 3 years ago, but I'm anxious to get the official ones.
