What to do while Gmail is down or emails are not sending
- Check it is not just you. Try Gmail on another device or network, or in a private window. If it works there, clear the browser cache or check your connection.
- Don't press Send over and over. Queued messages can all go out once Gmail recovers, and recipients get duplicates.
- Pause your cold email sequences in your sending tool while an incident is open, so follow-ups don't fire out of order and failed sends don't count against your domain.
- Read the bounce message if mail is rejected. A code starting with 4 is a temporary deferral (wait and it is usually retried); one starting with 5 is a permanent refusal, often authentication or policy. Google's list: SMTP error reference (checked 8 Nov 2026).
- If Google lists no incident and only your mail fails, check your domain: SPF, DKIM and DMARC, whether its IP or domain is on a blacklist, and Google's email sender guidelines (checked 8 Nov 2026).
- Mail arriving late? Paste its headers into the email header analyzer to see which hop held it.
- After it recovers, resume campaigns gradually rather than sending the backlog at once.

Where the status comes from
The page reads https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/incidents.json, the public JSON behind Google's
Workspace Status Dashboard, and keeps the
incidents that list Gmail among the affected products. Times are shown in UTC. Nothing here is
our own measurement of Gmail: if the feed can't be read, the page says so rather than guessing.
Questions
The answer at the top of this page is Google's own: it reads the Workspace Status Dashboard at most every 5 minutes and shows any open Gmail incident. If none is open and Gmail still fails for you, the cause is more likely your network, browser, account or the receiving mail server.
If Google lists no incident, read the bounce message: a 4xx code is temporary, a 5xx code a refusal, often for authentication or policy. Then check SPF, DKIM and DMARC on your domain, blacklists, and Gmail's daily sending limits.
Google's feed is read at most once every 5 minutes, and the time of the last read is shown next to the answer.
No. It reports what Google posts on its status dashboard. It does not send test email or probe Gmail's servers.
