If Gmail isn't working for you
Google posts Gmail incidents on the Google Workspace Status Dashboard. If the web version works but your mail app does not, the app's account sign-in is the usual suspect.
- Hard-reload the page (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac) or restart the app.
- Sign out and back in, or try another browser or the mobile app.
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and turn off VPN and ad-blocking extensions.
- If the status above says down, wait: reinstalling the app or resetting your password will not fix an outage on Gmail's side.
Official status: Google Workspace Status Dashboard by Google.
How this check works
Every 5 minutes our own probes in Frankfurt am Main and New York request mail.google.com over HTTPS. Any HTTP answer below 500 — even a sign-in page or a bot check — means the site is reachable; timeouts, DNS or TLS failures and 5xx errors count as failures. We call Gmail down only when every location fails twice in a row. Our server in Moscow is not used for this verdict, so a block or slowdown in one country does not show up here as an outage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gmail down for everyone or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page: we request mail.google.com every 5 minutes from Frankfurt am Main and New York. If every location fails, the problem is very likely on Gmail's side and affects most users. If they all get an answer, the cause is most likely local — your connection, DNS, VPN, browser extensions or the app on your device.
Is there an official Gmail status page?
Yes — Google publishes Google Workspace Status Dashboard at https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/. It reports incidents inside the service — sign-in, individual features, specific regions — that a reachability check like ours cannot see.
Gmail loads but doesn't work — what should I do?
Google posts Gmail incidents on the Google Workspace Status Dashboard. If the web version works but your mail app does not, the app's account sign-in is the usual suspect. General steps: hard-reload the page (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), sign out and back in, try another browser or the mobile app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and turn off VPN and ad-blocking extensions.
Why does Gmail work in one place but not another?
Large services run from many data centres and networks. An incident can hit one region, one network provider or one CDN edge while the rest keep working. That is why we only call Gmail down when our probes in Frankfurt am Main and New York all fail twice in a row — a failure in one place is shown as unconfirmed.
How often do you check Gmail?
Every 5 minutes from Frankfurt am Main and New York. Since 20 Oct 2026 our probes have recorded 0 outages in which Gmail was unreachable from every location. The list is on this page.
