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?

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.

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.

So that's why there are so many sites discussing the problems in English, is it?

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.

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.

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
