For those that use Google as a Homepage, Gmail was and is still down. I've notified Gmail and Google but have not heard back. Ostensibly, they are still working on whatever the issue is. Meanwhile, most should be about to access your Gmail account(s) via this link. https://mail.google.com/
According to the Apps Status dashboard - Google are working on resolving the issue. http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&sid=1&iid=f12f861b63d7c2bc9120ec23b9926aa0
