gmail slowing down??
tomos:
anyone else having problems with gmail?
for me, it's been very slow to send mail of late, sometimes will only go on second attempt [EDIT: using email client]
I dont think it's my connection,
or client (Thunderbird)
as I get mail from other sources without problem (in fairness though I dont use other addresses as much)
Just thinking though I send all my mail from gmail and thats where the problem is noticable -
just sent test mail with attachment from another address - no problems sending
So, how is it going for gmail and you??
allen:
I haven't had any such problems of late--and actually am quite pleased as over the last few months gmail's opera compatibility has gone up. I use gmail via the webmail interface most of the time, though--using my mail client only for maintaining a local backup.
I've always used my own smtp server, so I can't say about it--but I've had no trouble with the pop3.

It's an error GMail is experiencing from time to time, but the same happens with the whole Google network. Although I'm using the webmail, not a separate mail program like you
tomos:
hmmm .. :-\
I was afraid it was just getting too busy - could still be the case - as I say, was only slowing with sending mail from Thunderbird,
just over the last week or so,
I'll recheck my settings
If it stays this way I can always follow your examples and just use webmail & get other mail redirected to gmail - which I've been planning to do anyways ... downloading mail doesnt seem to be a problem - nothing I've noticed at any rate - so can still have my backup.
Thanks!
tom
