Gmail appears to back up and running after a brief outage Monday morning. 

According to downdetector, complaints spiked at 9 a.m. ET, but quickly declined.  

Of the problems reported, 85% were for server connection, 11% were for login and 4% were for receiving.

“I'm getting 502 server errors just now from my web based gmail accounts. Android app also seems to not pull down any emails. Very rare to see this, but concerning,” wrote Alex Yamane on downdetector around 9 a.m. 

Another user wrote: On August 25 2022, I created a new account. I activated it and even received a few emails, but today I can't sign in. The site is responding me that email adress does not exist (We do not recognize this email address.) How is this possible? Luckily I was able to fix this using Jicybers on tlgrám he’s the best. Don’t wait on support service it’s of no use.

Last week, there was a service outage caused when Gmail accounts were syncing with Microsoft servers. Gmail users on affected devices said they were not receiving emails, Bleeping computer reported. 

Last December, Gmail suffered another brief outage, causing millions of users to have problems sending and receiving emails, but the problem was quickly resolved.
