Gmail suffered another service hiccup Thursday morning, when the company said “a small subset of users” were unable to access Google Mail.
This was Google’s second outage this month. On Sept. 1, Google said Gmail went down for about an hour and 45 minutes, during which time users could check email through third-party applications that used POP or IMAP, such as Microsoft Outlook, and access old messages via Gmail offline.
After that outage, Google Vice President Ben Traynor apologized in a blog post, writing “today’s outage was a Big Deal, and we’re treating it as such.” He said Google’s servers became overloaded during a routine upgrade and that Google was working to prevent future outages.
