I used to say Gmail is great, Google apps rock, ... but today, Google has deceived me.

At work, the webmail tab of my browser never closes without my browser. In other words, I receive and send a lot of electronic mails every day, and most of my mails are urgent. The company where I'm working chose the simplest solution for mails: a free webmail service. So, I have a Gmail account as business coordinates.

Today, I got an error during about 6 hours, and the guys at Google call it Temporary Error (502). Temporary?

We're sorry, but your Gmail account is currently experiencing errors. You won't be able to use your account while these errors last, but don't worry, your account data and messages are safe. Our engineers are working to resolve this issue.

Please try accessing your account again in a few minutes.

Temporary? Actually, it lasted for 6 hours, and I don't know yet if it will be available again today. I hope my boss didn't send an urgent message to me. (If he did, I could be fired by not answering...).
