Ways to access Gmail when the server is down - quick tips

In case you're finding troubles in accessing the web mail interface for google, here are a few tips which you might find handy. Here they are

1) Switch off Labs
There are some beta testing services which might fail on launch. Try using gmail without google labs. This does sort out issues sometimes.

2) iGoogle
Log on to the iGoogle service,and look for the small gmail window on the left hand side. The mail window is small, and gives limited accessibility. Use this one only when you don't have any other option than to check it on the net.

3) POP mail
Use Gmail on your popmail services like Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, etc. First enable your pop mail services in your gmail account settings, and then configure your popmail application according to it while setting up your account on it. This method also gives you the freedom to check your old mails even when you don't have any net connection.

4) Gmail mobile
Use gmail mobile. Its completely reliable,and works even when there's a server error displayed on the computer.
