Gmail Logo, will it ever leave BETA?

Google experienced another outage to their Gmail service. According to TheRegister, at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Google informed users via the Google Apps discussions forum of an issue stopping users logging into their accounts. The google rep said that it expected a solution to the problem by 9 p.m. next day.

While Google gave no reason as to why Gmail and Google Apps users were having the issues, users reported that they were seeing a 502 error when trying to access their accounts. Something that Gmail users are all too familiar with from August’s problems.

See below for the Google Blog comment on the outage:

“We’ve identified the source of this issue and fixed it. In addition, as with all issues that affect Gmail and our other services, we’re conducting a full review of what went wrong and moving quickly to update our internal systems and procedures accordingly. We don’t usually post about problems like this on our blog, but we wanted to make an exception in this case since so many people were impacted.”
