That's led to a bit of anger, and sarcastic sighs of despair, on tech blogs and on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
Google posted a note Thursday morning saying it is aware that some people are experiencing an e-mail outage. The Mountain View, California, company did not offer an explanation in the post or immediately return a request for comment.
"We're aware of a problem with Google Mail affecting a small subset of users. The affected users are unable to access Google Mail, but we've provided a workaround below," the company wrote on its apps dashboard.
This latest Gmail crash is reported to only affect web-based mail.
CNN further says that people who had signed up for a service to run Gmail off of their computer hard drives, instead of the Web, should be able to use the service through the crash.
This outage affects millions of people around the world who use the free service.
