Bill, I went ballistic and proceeded to rant to the list over Evolution
doing the exact same thing to me. So, I went to Gmail and went into the
tech support list and found dozens and dozens of emails over the same
thing. Turned out it was gmails fault, their servers became broken
probably with an upgrade of Windows <patooie!> and it stayed borked for
days. You just might look into that angle and see if they are
experiencing downtime. The worst was that gmail never posted publicly
that they were down. If I had been paying for that service, then I would
have gotten all morally indignant.
