According to the online outage tracking website DownDetector, Google's Gmail experienced a malfunction at approximately 3 PM on August 8th (US time), after the site recorded nearly 5,000 error reports within an hour.
DownDetector reported that 82% of the reports were issues related to sending emails, with only about 15% involving connection errors directly to the server, according to the New York Post .
Most people experiencing the problem receive a red message that says: "Unable to send message. Check your network connection and try again."
The Gmail outage had a nationwide impact in the United States, particularly affecting densely populated urban areas like New York City.
Many of the 1.8 billion Gmail users worldwide have complained on social media about the unusual outage they experienced with the popular email service.
Some people commented on DownDetector: “I can’t type or send emails because it keeps giving errors,” “I can’t get my work done,” “I can only send one attachment, but not many,” “I can’t even attach files to emails”...
As of 5 PM on August 8th, DownDetector had not yet estimated exactly how many individuals and businesses were affected by the Gmail outage.
Google has yet to issue a statement or explanation regarding the Gmail outage. The company has also not responded to the New York Post 's request for comment.
