Gmail hit by a bug (update)

Ironically? While Google has recently launched a feature that allows
access to its Gmail Web mail offline, the service knows since this
morning, 11 hours, malfunction generally felt in the world, although
it would appear that the access in POP3 and IMAP are still valid for
some users. At the press, Google just for the moment to make an
apology addressed to users, and promises a prompt return online.

"We are aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a small proportion of
users", explained to 11:19 this morning an employee of Google on one
of the forums of the engine. At 12:13, a second message indicates that
the problem should be solved, but at 12.35 pm, Gmail is not accessible
in France for many users.

Related services such as Google Calendar, are still functional, but
the engine will display a warning message when logging in to Google
Apps, a suite of online services, indicating that users may experience
problems with their e-mail .

Gmail is certainly not the first to know webmail service interruption
of a few tens of minutes, but the service from Google is perhaps the
only cause malfunctions such an interest. In the afternoon, many
English media had already reported on the damage, including
generalists such as the BBC or the Guardian in Britain. The impact was
much less when in August 2008, Gmail was returned for almost an hour a
"502 error" for the Internet trying to connect to the service. Google
had cited a technical problem related to loading the contact manager.
