This is the message:

"Sorry, there seems to be a problem. The service you're looking for is temporarily unavailable. We're working hard to restore your access as soon as possible. Please try again in a few hours. Thanks for your patience."

0900 CDT edit: works for me now.

Getting the same message. However, this is happening to some of my logins only. Same with e-mails, some of them are working fine and some of them are timing out or asking for passwords. For a second I thought someone hacked my e-mail. :>

Me too, I was really scared. Now I know is Google's problem I am breading again.

I hate it when Google get in the way of my sandwich making ;-)

Given the naming scheme of Android releases, it seems like Google would let you eat cake instead.
kaolinite
Same.. I was the only person in the company unable to access emails. Was scared I was about to be called into a boardroom ;-)

That error message seems to just be Google's default 500 error message page; even when it is an API request that fails, even if the API is specified to return errors as some kind of JSON or XML, you get that HTML page in response. (I know this as Google's OpenID+OAuth pipeline has been failing occassionally for the last month, something I've been trying to get them to fix on the Google Federated Login API mailing list.)

so many developers hacking on google glass apps?

I'm getting IMAP logins rejected as well.

I'm also getting errors when trying to retrieve Gmail messages in IOS Mail. "Wrong username or password", but it works in a browser.

Since you always worry you are going crazy when a high-uptime site is down: mine too

FWIW: I was able to log in by going to www.gmail.com and logging in suing myusername@mydomain.com as the username.

Tried this -- didn't work for me unfortunately.

This is happening for gmail for some accounts, but mine seem to be running. Seems the outage is per user account.

It's intermittent for me. I first noticed trouble when the Android gmail app said it couldn't connect for one of my accounts. I cannot login to my apps domain control panel right now, but I can access its email via both IMAP and the web interface. However, another account on that same domain cannot access via IMAP.

Nearly 30 minutes since it started and the status page is it's customary blank screen.

Almost as bad as AWS at getting notices up.

Odd, "Admin control panel/API" is marked as disrupted for me.
josephb
Yeah it is now, only took 30 minutes :-)

The outage is affecting IMAP/POP/HTTP for email plus Gchat, the admin control panel/API is probably the least impact.

Was having problems with play developers console yesterday, suddenly it was a 404. Seems like they're planning something in my opinion.

Google Drive is down for me on Apps too.

I also can't authorize an app to have access to a Gmail account. Google's auth page presents an error.
traeregan
Same here. Intermittent though. I'm like 2 for 5.
glennos
The dashboard hasn't caught up. Admin Control Panel is one thing, but GMail/Apps has a huge impact!
mattvot
I did wonder about this. My phone said my username or password was wrong for my email, got a bit worried, so I tried with their webmail and it worked there.
frankydp
Webmaster tools also down with auth failure.
bkanber
Down here. Additionally, my iCal won't sync with goocal.

It's interesting that I kind find news for this on google itself, but Hacker News already has two posts.

Getting IMAP rejections, and Google Docs doesn't seem to be working: http://cl.ly/image/3W2e0X1O1i0o
wodow
smtp.googlemail.com also failing

(edit: intermittently)

fish2000
Crazy – my IMAP client (Apple Mail) has no problem until it tries to send via SMTP… when it chokes.

Also, no working gmail for all my accounts except my @gmail.com address – at least fail consistently, you Googlers. Blech!

varun1308
Yeah.. my pop mail stopped working too

At least Google Reader still works :-)
arcosdev
Faaack. I thought I was just having a local connection issue. Same problem here.
silasb
Appears Groups is down also.
