I've been a GMail user since it was on limited trial, and I have always been happy with its speed, reliability and with the sleek user interface. In addition, the GMail spam filter is much more effective than any other hosted e-mail service I've used before (Hotmail, GMX, ...). Almost as effective as my hand-tuned bogofilter I'm running on our Linux boxes :-)
But lately I had the feeling that GMail is becoming unreliable, giving me frequent service errors when logging in or when sending mail. Not due to connectivity problems it appears.

human readable GMail error messages would be a great idea!
I got this one today:
Oops... a server error occurred and your email was not saved. (#001)
I couldn't even sign out :-( Gmail does seem worse even with nice caching of content in my browser that makes it less noticable. Recently Gmail has seemed slower with sending as well as downloading, too.
Google has a lot of apps being hosted, with search staying solid. But how are other stateful Google services doing beyond Gmail, such as Google Apps? I have been recommending that small business folks use Google Apps as a way to reach more people with some simple apps to mobile devices, but no one has actually deployed anything yet, so I have no feedback.
Also, over the past weeks I noticed that the GMail spam filter is not as effective as it used to be in the past. I have to eliminate a couple of spam mails per day from my inbox, whereas before hardly any spam mail was getting delivered to my Inbox.
Genial post and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you as your information.
