yonglan Posted December 23, 2004 at 11:03 AM Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 at 11:03 AM Can someone tell me why it is that now that I am in China I can sign into Gmail and read and repy to one email and then no luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted December 23, 2004 at 02:41 PM Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 at 02:41 PM Because Gmail is pretty terrible? Some days I can get in and it works fine. Then I can go days where I only get that patronising "ooops' message. To give them some dues, it is in beta test mode. I don't think it's a China problem.

yonglan Posted December 24, 2004 at 09:15 AM Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 at 09:15 AM It is 100% a China problem. I used it till the cows came when I was in the US and never had this sort of problem or anything like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted December 24, 2004 at 12:37 PM Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 at 12:37 PM It is 100% a China problem. So that's why there are so many sites discussing the problems in English, is it? Results 1 - 10 of about 1,050,000 for gmail problems.Google.

Yes, Gmail has problems, but the one I am talking about did not exist for me when in the US with either Netscape or IE. I have downloaded Firefox and I think Gmail is working now. Gmail is the best email going as far as I'm concerned, imperfect as it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazu Posted December 25, 2004 at 02:30 PM Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 at 02:30 PM I know some people used Gmail Lite to set their own Gmail page, you can try this, https://laputa.sytes.net:883/gmailer/gmail-lite/ I have used this service for quite a few times, I think it should be safe, but you have to understand that this service is provided by a third party, not approved by Google, so you are taking your own risk too. Well... just to make sure you know it first, I think it should be pretty safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonglan Posted December 25, 2004 at 10:41 PM Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 at 10:41 PM I am having great luck with Firefox and Gmail in China so far. And I now prefer Firefox to Netscape anyway. Love the Walnut Theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
