GMail Outage???

I have trying to log into my gmail account for the past half hour and repeatedly getting server errors.

Temporary Error (500)

We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes.

This is the technical information

I wonder if this affects only me or is a wider issue like the one reported on Feb 24, 2009.

    I am also experiencing frequent outages today with Gmail service. Server errors and temporary errors both. The service seems to be intermittent as I will be able to open an e-mail, but then it will crash again.

    It did, up until… right now, when it started to work again. Outage took 5-10 minutes all together, so I guess Google is in 2009 already on the 99,97 availability (about 160 minutes outage ;)

      I just checked my email again! It is up now. Yep, 9 5′s is no longer honored by GMail 2009. Though it would be nice if they gave a better description of the error along with the code.

    I’m not even getting server errors, it just won’t connect at all. Oy.
