Emails coming in late

Hi all,

For the past few days, my emails on gmail have been coming
in really
late.  For example, I only receive 1 or 2 emails all day but
in the
evening, all the emails that were sent to me throughout the
day start
showing up.  The original send times are shown so even
though I receive
the email at 9PM, it will show 10AM for example.

Is anyone else experiencing this lately (or in the past)?  I
assume
there's nothing I can do... what if I have POP?

Thanks for any help,

Dave

Gmail is not responsible for the delivery: everyone is - and
by
everyone, I mean, everyone with a server on this planet
could be. The
key idea behind Internet is that instead of having a central
computer
planning where every file should got to get to the right
person, it is
labeled with the destination, and sent more or less randomly
around,
until it gets there (Geek Squad: excuse my
over-simplification). If the
network is busy, a message could get "lost"
(though no message really
is) and it takes time, simply because there are no
direction. If it
took several hours, your e-mail probably went several times
around the
globe (at the speed of light). This should happen with any
e-mail
provider. This is what that senator from Alaska was
complaining about
in his famous rant.

It could be many other things, and if no one but Gmail users
complain,
it might --- but I can assure you that some messages
traveled faster
that my mouse today.

I'm not sure Pop would help then. For real emergency, use
SMS: it is
officially the fastest way to reach anyone.
