"vent your experience."? Really? Why not just word it "help us trash Gmail"? Normally I am on the side of Huffington Post, but this cheeses me off. All this technology that we enjoy is very new, very impressive and subjective to growing pains. Stop acting like spoiled little brats who lost their lollypops and be patient for ____ sake.

I didn't even notice it. I think Gmail does a great job, especially for free.

I didn't notice it. I have a gmail account, but my work email is the only one I check regularly. I check my gmail at most once a day.

Not bad. hope the outage wasn't very long/. It is a free service. Gives you more free space than Yahoo. I can't complain. A very good product for free.

Not at all.

I don't like using email from companies that tell me they are going to spy on my email.

I like using email from companies that lie to me about spying on my email.

That's why we have both Google & a Yahoo account.

Sorry, I have nothing to vent about. I love G-mail- no gross commercials, it's free, it's easy to use. So it had some problems. Welcome to the world of Internet communication.

"Vent"? WHy should HP even bring that up? It's a free service, I will rave about about it however. Google docs is awesome, Excel, Word, etc... I can access work stuff anywhere I want.
