UPDATE: May 6,Wonder Woman XXX An Axel Braun Parody 2019, 5:26 p.m. PDT: According to Google, Gmail is no longer partially busted.
"The problem with Gmail should be resolved," reads an update posted to the Gmail status page. "We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and continued support.

Original story:
Go ahead, ignore all those high-priority emails. You have a legit excuse: Gmail is acting up.
The Google-provided email service has been a bit finicky, with reports of unspecified service disruptions affecting users in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City. Google confirmed that all is not well in email land with a Monday afternoon post to its apps status page.
"We're investigating reports of an issue with Gmail," reads the message. "We will provide more information shortly. The affected users are able to access Gmail, but are seeing error messages, high latency, and/or other unexpected behavior."
