Google Gmail IMAP has disappeared

Tags: , ,

As of 3:30pm EST, Today April 16, 2008, Google’s Gmail client has started having technical difficulties according to Google. The IMAP feature has completely disappeared and people using the IMAP feature can no longer connect. This also seems to be effecting Google Apps customers. 

We await to see what is happening at Google. And will update once we learn more. For now you can still get mail by logging into web based Gmail.

Anyone with a paid Google Apps account experiencing this?

UPDATE:

IT IS BACK UP! 4:45pm EST.

Paid Google Apps accounts do have working IMAP. Thanks Ian Mansfield 

After an hour and a half Nothing is posted on either the Google Apps Blog or the Gmail Blog. The Support forums are slow too with no answers just questions as to when this will be back up.

I have the paid service – and IMAP is still working, although it has vanished from my secondary free account.

Same thing here with a free Google Apps for Domains account and a standard Gmail account. IMAP has suddenly disappeared for both! Hope this gets fixed soon.

Ian, Thanks for the update on the free service status. Good to see the $50 a year does get you something.

I have 2 Google Apps accounts. One had IMAP disabled, and the other one doesn’t (the 2nd account is pretty recent)

I hope they bring it back, cause it’s the main reason why I chose Google Apps.

I agree.. I figured Google would be pretty reliable. Have to wait and see how long this goes on for. After an hour and a half still nothing coming out of Google.
