Understanding Gmail connection and service problems

Gmail web access, receiving mail, sending and an IMAP/SMTP client can fail independently.

The checker above requests gmail.com from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual Gmail action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.

Gmail status information and official help

Gmail service status

Open the provider’s incident information and match its component, region and update time to your problem. A status-page headline does not test your individual account.

Gmail help and reporting

Workspace administrators may have organisation-specific information beyond public status.

Open gmail.com

Compare the website entrypoint with your browser or app. This website link is separate from a provider incident dashboard.

Where to report problems with Gmail

Workspace administrators may have organisation-specific information beyond public status.

Open Gmail help / reporting. Use the contact, technical-help or account route described there. Sign-in, support entitlement and available channels can vary; a public community discussion is not a private support ticket.

Details to include in your report

Send/receive action, message time, bounce/error code and client type; remove message content and recipient details from public reports.

Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to Gmail.

What to check when Gmail is not working

These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that Gmail is currently experiencing a particular incident.

Start with the action that failed

Compare the same mailbox in the Gmail web interface and the affected mail client, noting whether a message is queued or has bounced.

Narrow down the affected service

Read any delivery error and compare the Gmail component on Google Workspace Status; check the actual sender/recipient scope before resending.

Read the actual checker response

A 403 or 429 means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.

How to check if Gmail is down

Capture the original failure. Save the exact action, error and time before refreshing. Preserve drafts and check whether a submission already completed.
Run the gmail.com check. Compare each response, the measurement time and available locations. A repeated click can reuse a cached observation.
Compare the relevant provider information. Open Gmail status and check whether the named service and incident time fit your error.
Test one useful difference, then report. Compare another permitted session, network or service component using the tailored checks above. Send the result and the actual app error through the reporting route on this page.

If Gmail Is Not Working Only For You, Start Here

Use these local troubleshooting steps after the down-check workflow when Gmail seems broken only for you. This section focuses on app, browser, account, and network fixes.

1. Compare browser sessions

Open gmail.com in your current browser, then test in a private window or second browser. If only one session fails, compare its account, cookie and extension context before assuming the entire service is unavailable.

2. Preserve a working account session

Keep an existing working session and preserve unsaved work. For a sign-in failure, use the official account-help route. Avoid repeated password or security resets until you confirm this is not a broader Gmail issue.

3. Compare permitted network paths

Compare Wi-Fi and mobile data only where you are permitted to do so. Keep required VPN, proxy and security controls in place, and record which network fails.

4. Capture support-ready evidence

Save timestamp, device, network type, exact error, final URL, and status code. Use the check workflow above before contacting Gmail support.

Frequently asked questions about Gmail problems

Is Gmail down, or is the problem limited to one feature?

Run the gmail.com check and compare its original timestamps and responses with your actual error. Gmail web access, receiving mail, sending and an IMAP/SMTP client can fail independently.

Where can I report a problem with Gmail?

Use the official help/reporting resource linked above. Workspace administrators may have organisation-specific information beyond public status.

What should I check first when Gmail is not working?

Compare the same mailbox in the Gmail web interface and the affected mail client, noting whether a message is queued or has bounced. Read any delivery error and compare the Gmail component on Google Workspace Status; check the actual sender/recipient scope before resending.

What information helps Gmail support investigate?

Send/receive action, message time, bounce/error code and client type; remove message content and recipient details from public reports.
