Q: Google mail playing up again

Is anyone else currently having problems using gmail in China. Mine usually works fine but in the last week all I get is a message saying "timed out when trying to connect to outgoing server" when trying to send an email. Is China on another bash Google drive or is it something else

I use gmail and your right. It's been very hit and miss. For some reason the attachments are being blocked when I download them...

Yahoo has much faster loading than GOOG in China. Since Sep. last year, I'm using new Mac from HK. Google loads much faster than previously with older machine. Some of the web links I post have "…../hk" ending. I'm not sure, why.

Ya, only works for me with a VPN. Or through the app on my phone. For work emails, because they need to be done on time, I use Yahoo because it always works. And I use Bing when Google search isn't working, But I hate Bing.
