Youtube is working for me but I still can't send or receive emails.
What's especially frustrating is that the emails are showing as sent. It would be much more responsible in my opinion if we could at least have an error message. A lot of people rely on gmail. It seems dishonest to tell clients their emails are sent, when in fact they are not. This can create a whole host of personal and professional problems for people. Google calendars was down: a lot of employers use google calendars for scheduling. How will their employees know when to work?
From my understanding of the way email works the emails that can't be delivered should be held until later when they are deliverable; but I can't say that for sure. It's just a wait and see for now.
Google's been a tech giant for decades. Frankly, while this is somewhat inconvenient, it isn't entirely unexpected. Google plays with an amount of data far beyond my reckoning, and it's only a matter of time I think before they dropped the ball. I just feel like they could be handling this better. Make sure that users are aware there's a problem. Everyone makes mistakes. I understand that things happen, but at least they can make a popup show when I log into gmail so people aren't sending emails in vain or checking for what isn't going to arrive. Or take it completely offline until it's working as intended.
