Its funny you mention server overload. I was researching some stuff on the net on thursday March 31 at around 10:30am pacific standard time and I'd thought id run a google search. The website wouldn't come up. At first I thought my dsl was acting up but all other websites came up fine. Even scheduled a few payments on my bank account. Google was down for a good hour or two. Maybe they were working on their servers since they've just increased email accounts to 2 gigs. Maybe not. Anyways, no problems with my gmail account. Love their filter feature.
Or am I just the unluckiest new GMail user out there? I've been a member for a few weeks now and it seems like a spoofer's paradise. I'm now getting approximately 10-12 alerts in my inbox EVERY DAY about undeliverable emails that were apparently 'sent' from my account. For a while I was dutifully forwarding the full message headers to GMail tech support but now I can't keep up. I know I never compromised my password in any way so why is this happening? What's the solution besides cancelling my GMail account and going back to one of the many email providers I've never had a problem with, like msn, hotmail, yahoo, etc.?
