I assure you that IMAP and POP aren't working, not on my phone, at least.

This is part of the new world order that I hate. In the old days, sometimes things had a fault for an hour or so, and you waited, and then someone resolved it. Now, though, the moment Gmail doesn't work, people bitch and moan and Twitter and create "news" about it, as if it were worthy of being news. An outage for a week? That's news. An hour? Not so much.

It was the same the other day when Google VERY briefly marked every website as being potentially harmful. There's no reason that should have been in any way interesting to anyone, except in passing.

ARGH.
