Google Mail Mysteriously Fails

UPDATE 2008.07.16 17:30 Pacific Time
Email services has been restored to the particular accounts.

I was first notified in the morning about the problems with Goggle Mail. Apparently some Google Apps accounts are unable to access their email. The accounts can still access all Google Apps with the exception for email.

In addition to that, the accounts are unable to access mail through Gmail POP and IMAP. The particular accounts cannot access Gmail SMTP server either. Meanwhile other accounts can access Gmail without any problems.

As usual, it is almost impossible to contact Google. All I can find is some web-forms to contact Google Technical Support team.

Having Fun With MobileMe Emails.

MobileMe is slowly replacing .Mac, and all new and current subscribers will get new “@me.com” email address.

As always, this begs for some serious creativity (or not) to get some silly email addresses.

I’ve tried them and they’re taken:

  • look@me.com
  • takealook@me.com
  • justtakealook@me.com (Phil Collins might own this one)
  • throw@me.com
  • throwit@me.com
  • looking@me.com
  • youarelooking@me.com
  • sheislooking@me.com
  • theyarelooking@me.com
  • throwthecat@me.com
  • throwtheknife@me.com
  • stopthrowing@me.com

Go make your own…..

iPhone 3G: The Aftermath

iPhone 3G: The Aftermath

  • Leo Laporte did iPhone 3G coverage marathon at TWiTlive.tv. Staying up for 24 hour covering iPhone 3G launch is pretty crazy.
  • Lots of people bought iPhone 3G.
  • MobileMe is finally up more than 10 minutes at a time.
  • iPhone/iPod touch Software 2.0 is officially released.
  • .Mac website is offline.
  • AT&T seems to be having problems with iPhone 3G activations for significant numbers of customers.

Apple releases Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.1 (July 11th, 2008) following Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.0 that was released on July 9th, 2008. Available through Software Update.

UPDATE:
A friendly reminder for those waiting for .Mac Webmail to be online again. You can access your .Mac mail through MobileMe. Go to www.me.com/mail/

I’ll post more about the problems AT&T was having related to iPhone 3G activations.
