If you've been waiting desperately for that important email all afternoon, it might just be stuck in Internet limbo.
Google has confirmed that their email service is having some temporary problems, writing "our team is continuing to investigate this issue. We will provide an update by 9/23/13 5:45 PM with more information about this problem. Thank you for your patience. The delivery of some messages is being delayed and attachments may fail to download. This issue is affecting less than an estimated 0.024% of the Gmail user base."
Many have taken to Twitter to confirm they are experiencing issues with the popular email client:
Gmail is not working properly for 0.024% of the Gmail user base. I feel special to be included :/
