How to Access Gmail During a Gmail Outage: Your Backup Plan!
While Gmail is wonderful and generally reliable, it, like Twitter and even the best webhosting services, has occasional outages (down time), so you need a backup plan; and here it is!
It’s always very important to have a backup plan when possible, especially when you are making money online and have chosen the freedom of working from your home.
In my last post, I showed you the step-by-step way to be able to use your domain name in your email address and be able to send and receive domain-name-related email from both Gmail and your webhost’s cPanel’s Webmail. This is a VERY important backup plan for domain-related email.
Now you need a way to access your regular Gmail messages if there is a Gmail outage. (That is, messages sent directly to yourname@gmail.com rather than yourname@your-domain-name.com.)
This step-by-step procedure will help those who have a PC and Internet Explorer, which is what I use and therefore is my frame of reference. For those who don’t, go to this helpful post at Gmail.
