Good news! Today you can blame your non-responsiveness to all those important emails you’ve been ignoring on Google itself.

Gmail has some 425 million users, according to the company’s public announcement detailing the size of its user base, revealed last summer at its Google I/O developer conference. Google has been providing regular updates regarding the situation throughout the day, the first appearing at 10:25 AM ET, noting that the company was then starting to invest reports of an issue with Gmail. This was followed by an update over an hour later which informed customers that delays were involved and some attachments were failing to load. Updates released at 12:43 PM, 1:45 PM, 2:05 PM, and 2:45 PM ET so far, only said that the team is continuing to investigate the problem and will update when there’s more information available. At 3:00 PM ET, the company added that the service has been restored for some users, and it expects full resolution within an hour, but this timeframe may change. Google did not say which percentage of the “less than 50 percent” of users have had service restored. We reached out to Google via email for comment on what may have caused this issue, and other details, but you know…
