Recently active problems in Google

I just switched the Blackberry service over to Gmail's IMAP server and now I get messages like 15-20 minutes after they're received in the browser.

With POP3 I was getting messages on my phone before they even hit my computer.

Let me know how to optimize this because I'm mega frustrated right now.

Pull-down menus in Google Docs don't work for me in Firefox or IE. When I click on one, it appears briefly and then disappears.

I get a strange gray box in Google Reader whenever I am using it. I don't know what is causing it, but sometimes I can highlight the text behind it so I can read and it sometimes it scrolls at a different rate than the rest of the window. It looks like it is caused by Java though I could be way off. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.12 on OS X 10.5.2. I took a screenshot of it to show what it looks like and I am wondering if anyone else has run into something similar.

Thanks for your help.

All of a sudden, whenever my Mail.app mail client goes to download email from my gmail account, it can only get one message at a time. I tried switching pop servers from pop.gmail.com to pop.googlemail.com (and back), which in the past has helped when this problem has come up, but no go this time.

It's really frustrating! I usually get 20-60 messages every night that it now takes almost a half hour to pull off the Google server. Anybody have any ideas about what can be done to fix this on my end, or is it something that's up with the Gmail service?

live customer service for google calendar--cannot access calendar, pop up is suggesting cookie possible problem, but wondering if its just down. Been inaccessible since yesterday

I am unable to export / download a list of 200 sites from one of my CSEs.

Each time I try I simply get the first 20 and no more.

There isn't A Google FAQ that answers this, nor is there a similar "Google discussion group" thread.

When I enter a search phrase into the CSE gadget the results do not display on a whole page as they used to; they dislplay only within the area of the gadget! That is, once you hit enter, the results would appear if you scroll the mouse within the area of the CSE gadget. My gadget is on this site: ebookbg.wikidot.com and the problem appears on IE, Firefox and Opera alike. How can I fix this?

The Contacts list really needs to be overhauled. It would be good if you could do the following:

* Have the last email from said contact show up on the same section as their contact details
* Delete more than 20 people at a time
* Once you delete 20 people (or whatever the limit is) you return to your original spot, not the beginning of the list
* Add people I REPLY to but not necessarily those I INITIATE contact with
* Be able to edit contacts on a separate page, away from Gmail
* Have alphabetical tabs

This would be extremely helpful and make the Contacts section much much better.

Thanks!

I can't setup mobile access for Google Calendar. I never receive the verification code requests. Sprint is my carrier. Please advise, thank you.

When viewing posts with large images (or in fact anything that forces the post to be rendered wider than the viewing area in google reader), the iframe's scrollbars are way down at the bottom, and you have to scroll down to the bottom of the post to get to the horizontal scrollbar, before you can scroll across, and back up to the top, to view the other piece of the post.

As an example, view the Diesel Sweeties RSS feed:
http://www.dieselsweeties.com/ds-unif...

Scroll down to the post for April 6, 2008 - it is very difficult to view the entire comic without scrolling up and down and left and right.

I appreciate that putting posts in an iframe means you're a lot safer from cross-site scripting attacks and so on, and that this constrains what you can do with the post, but is there not some way to make large images draggable, or scrollable with the keyboard?

I can't access one of my Gmail accounts. This account is a Domain account, and it just keeps giving me the dreaded message "We are unable to process your request at this time, please try again later. " My other accounts, including another domain account, work fine. I've also tried connecting from my phone with the same result.

Is this a system issue that will be resolved by just waiting?

I own a very popular blog called eGMCarTech (http://www.egmcartech.com) that covers the automotive industry. Through September 07 - December 07, we were getting a huge amount of Google traffic, about 3,000 - 4,000 visitors a day from Google to be exact. However for some reason on January 8th, our traffic dropped to about 500 - 600 a day from Google. We've been trying to figure out the problem ever since but can't find a solution.

Not only that, some of our new content does not seem to get indexed by Google. In the past when we used to write an article, it would be indexed within minutes, now we'd be lucky to get indexed at all.

Also, according to Google Webmasters Tool, we have over 1762 URLS that are in the NOT FOUND section and aren't being indexed.

Can someone from Google please help. We're dying here.

I started working on a personal projct using Google Docs. I make and edit documents and spreadsheets. I love the idea that I can access and work on my files from any computer. But I think the implementation sucks. The environment and functions are pretty sloppy and full of bugs. The first problem is that it is very slow. When I drag and drop the file it takes a few seconds for the file to actually move. The word editor sometimes acts up. The sort function is the worst part. When you rename a file and resort sometimes it takes hours for the rename to have an effect on sort. Sometimes the sort doesn't work at all. There is no way making your sorting method permananent or default. There are many more bugs that you guys need to work out before this thing is up to speed.
Best of luck,

I tried over and over again to set a Vacation Responder for my mom's gmail account last night. I gave it a subject and a message, and check the box to turn it on, then hit the "save changes" button. Back in my inbox I get a warning telling me I didn't set a vacation message...But I DID! I tried over and over. I closed the browser, deleted cookies, and tried again. No luck.

I googled the problem (how ironic) and found that lots of people are encountering the same bug. Is there a reliable workaround, or will google perhaps FIX it soon? :) Thanks!

I've been getting a lot of server errors when sending email from my Gmail accounts over the past couple days. Anyone else noticing this? If so, anyone know what's up? My emails do eventually send but a server error dialog box pops up and I have to click "ok" and then click "send" again. It usually sends with the second try. The next time it happens I'll Skitch and post it.

I've set English (US) as a preferred language for my Google Calendar, however when I click on "What's new" (upper right corner) it shows me text in Polish (which is my native language and it's also default language set on my computer). But my preference is to see all texts in English and there's no way to change that preference for "What's new" in my GCalendar. Any suggestions?

My boyfriend and I started a blog (http://www.lifetinker.com) in early August. We have yet to be indexed by Google (or anywhere else). However, our blog has been linked to by several people with >= 5 PageRank, we have some traffic, we have about 60 subscribers to the RSS feed, we submitted a site map. In the meantime, a friend created another site that's only 1 page and has no big links - that site was indexed in two days.

We're feeling a little neglected here and would love some help!!!

I have a Gmail account which has numerous e-mail accounts feeding into it - all of which are recognised as sender names. But my Google Groups account is tied to my gmail.com address. This means that either I have to sign up for multiple Google accounts for each different email account and keep them all in-sync, or I have to send all my mailing list e-mail from my gmail.com address, even though that's not my primary address. I therefore get lots of e-mails back from Google Groups telling me that I'm not allowed to send to that list. This is annoying and is preventing me from fully participating on some mailing lists.

I am a human being. I am not my khakis or my sofa and I sure as shit ain't my inverse functional properties! ;) Please fix this!
