Default Gmail? What's up?

I've been having issues with gmail the past few days. Has anyone else been having problems?

Sometimes at won't load at all until I try a few different address combinations in my browser (gmail.com to http://mail.google.com and http://mail.google.com/mail).

When it does load, it is extremely slow. I know it's not my computer or my internet connection, as I've looked into both.

I haven't been having any issues at all with Gmail. Try clearing your browser cache.

I've had no problems at all and I use it everyday all day. I have in the past had a couple of days where it was slow but it always turned out to be a network problem.

Last night was bad for me as well. I've tried clearing my cache, but it's still being picky. Maybe something on their end?

I'm not having any issues with G-Mail, either at home or work (different ISP)

No problems with me, but I've heard of others with Gmail problems today or recently. What browser do you use? I only use Firefox.

I use IE 7.0. I've cleared my cookies, as per the help section on gmail, but that's not helping either. Generally, it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I'm expecting a fairly important email so it's getting frustrating.

Having problems on two field laptops and my wife's laptop as well. You go to log in and it says loading then goes to a blank screen and says its done. Clearing of the temp files seems to fix it, but it sounds like its more of a GMail problem if alot of people are having it.

I tend to have problems with it in Firefox when I am restoring a session because Firefox crashed. I just remove all the extra stuff after http://mail.google.com/ and the issue is resolved.

Just a friendly warning - that is an insecure connection you are using to connect. Anyone between you and Gmail can read your email (including your password).

I STRONGLY recommend using https://mail.google.com/ It works exactly the same but your web traffic is secured.
