A Gmail outage has left thousands of users unable to send emails or messages on the popular Google app.
The outage appeared to hit users around 3 p.m. Thursday, with DownDetector, a site that tracks online issues, citing nearly 5,000 reports within the hour.
About 82% of the problems reported appear to be related to sending emails, according to DownDetector, with only 15% citing direct server connectivity issues.
Those trying to send messages were flagged with a red banner stating: “Message could not be sent. Check your network and try again.”
An outage map for Gmail in the US shows the problem occurring across the nation, with significant hotspots in America’s busiest hubs, especially New York City.
The problem has caused some of Gmail’s more than 1.8 billion active users around the globe to take to social media to share their issues with the ubiquitous email service.
Many have gone on to post screenshots of the infamous “Oops, something went wrong” message Gmail uses whenever it stumbles across a connectivity issue.
Google has yet to issue a statement on the outage. The company did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
It remains unclear how many people and businesses were impacted by the issues, with DownDetector still citing more than a thousand reports as of 5:12 p.m. EST.

WATCH: Jesse Watters EXPOSES Tim Walz’s Shocking Ties To Chinese Communists
An investigation into Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s ties to China revealed that the vice presidential candidate relied on funds from the Communist Party to educate America’s children while they traveled overseas, among other notable connections that raise questions about his ability to represent American interests in the White House.
Fox News host Jesse Watters reported on Wednesday that the midwestern Democrat has visited mainland China at least 30 times going back to his career as a suburban school teacher. His first visit in 1989, funded by Harvard University, coincided with the Tiananmen square protests and massacre, and upon his return Walz “spread Chinese propaganda,” Watters told his viewers. He quoted Walz, who said about his first visit, “I was treated exceptionally well… They are such kind, generous, capable people. They just gave and gave and gave to me. Going there was one of the best things I’ve ever done.” His marriage to Gwen Walz on April 15th, 1994 was exactly five years to the day of the Tiananmen square riots.
Later on, Walz, 60, founded a travel company that specialized in educational tours for American high school students visiting China and relied on funding from the Chinese government to underwrite the visits. While there, the new No. 2 to Vice President Kamala Harris was known by Chinese children as the “big-nosed one” and “foreign devil.” He went on to learn some Mandarin as well, and to this day continues to maintain strong ties with Chinese-American organizations that have close ties to intelligence arms for the communist regime of Chinese President Xi Jinping. One, the Chinese Friendship Organization, welcomed him for a speech in 2019, one year after winning his first election to the governor’s office.
“Did the Harris campaign know about this? How can a guy visit China 30 times and pal around with [Chinese communists] and have Chinese money change hands and you say to yourself ‘I want that guy in the Situation Room with me,’” Watters joked. For good measure, he added this “wasn’t the first time” that Democrats attempted to “install” a White House occupant with deep ties to China, an unsubtle dig at President Biden and his family’s connection to lucrative business dealings with Chinese business interests.
