Thousands of email users across the UK are having trouble accessing Gmail this morning.
The popular email site, run by Google, began experiencing issues at around 8.30am today, and thousands of problems are still being reported.
Outage tracker DownDetector shows that up to 2700 people reported problems, with many struggling with server connection and sending emails.
Many users reported seeing a 502 error when trying to access their emails, with the screen displaying an error message: "The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request."
It is not yet known what caused the outage, however it appears that it may be on the mend.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
