I checked just for you and not having any problems here.

Maybe should try the "recover your account" option.

You need to be more specific. What client? And POP3 or IMAP or both?

Four different gmail accounts here - all configured for POP3 and all working fine with Outlook 2016 and MailWasher Pro.

Have you tried to access Gmail directly via your browser?

Everything seems to be back up. I've got a few friends elsewhere in the world who were having issues as well. Seems Google had a few problems earlier.

Not sure that means anything since (as of Oct 2019) there are ~1.5 billion monthly active GMail users worldwide! I suspect there are always a few 100,000 or so having issues at any given point in time.

Anyway, I am glad it seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for the update.
