Gmail delays?
Is anyone else having problems with delays on Gmail?
I sent an email off on Sunday afternoon, and it finally arrived Tuesday morning. Emails I sent Wednesday and Thursday got delivered on Saturday. And an email sent to me tonight arrived an hour after it was sent. Looking at the message header, it appeared to get stuck between 2 google servers. Anyone else having trouble?

Re: Gmail delays?
Ah, well you see it's like this.
First your email has to go to the US Secret Service to check if it's being used in a way that the US don't want, then the FBI get a look in, then some other black ops services, finally GCHQ all have a good read of it & laugh at your tales about your hemorrhoids etc.
I have noticed that there is a slight delay sending an email from one Gmail account to another, but only usually a few minutes, never that long.

Re: Gmail delays?
Not had any problems myself, although today I'm having trouble reaching the GMail homepage... bearing in mind that the internal IT guys for my company have turned up today, it's most likely our network that's fubar'ed yet again.

Not had any problems at all myself, and havent for some time. Unlike my Hotmail account which seems to be on a major go slow for the last couple of weeks.

i think all the scare mongering that goes on with gmail is just that.. i'm sure if you put words in an e-mail like bomb, etc then gmail will pick this up automatically and then it will be checked otherwise i don't think much else goes on

Re: Gmail delays?
I think that if you put those words in any email, then it'll be picked up by Echelon... and you'll start hearing things on your phone line and seeing unfamiliar vans parked outside your house 24 hours a day
