About Gmail
Gmail is Google's email service, used on the web at mail.google.com, in the Gmail apps for Android and iPhone, and in other mail clients over IMAP. Sending, receiving, the web interface, mobile sync, and sign-in can fail separately. A full 15 GB Google storage quota also stops new mail. Google reports Gmail incidents on the Google Workspace Status Dashboard at google.com/appsstatus.
