Broken GMail account. Have been unable to log in, with various server errors occuring. But there is no way to alert Google, it seems, and the only form I found won't let you do anything unless you are logged in. Any suggestions?

I was having problems with gmail today as well, I think their servers may genuinely be down. Your account is probably fine.

This happened to me a couple of days ago and cleared up on its own.

It's working for me, so I'm pretty sure it's not a systemwide outage. Have you been able to send a support request?

My Gmail's working fine today too; this will probably go away on its own.

It happened to me once before. It will clear up in a day or so if not sooner. Remember, this thing is still in beta mode, which is why I haven't totally switched over to it yet.

Yep, definitely beta software. Good beta software, none the less. But it does have its quirks. But I am back in now, which is good.

Try a different browser, i.e. safari or firefox

Be sure that you accept all cookies for Google, I had a problem with this few months ago - now it works fine.
