More than 2,300 people have reported problems with the Gmail app and website to DownDetector, which monitors online blackouts.
Of those complaints, 55 per cent were logged due to server connection issues, while 29 per cent noted trouble sending or receiving emails.
A further 15 per cent were related to difficulties with the Gmail website.
Users in the United States appear to be unaffected by the outage.
It’s not immediately clear what’s responsible or what proportion of users are affected.
The Sun has tested the Gmail app and website on multiple devices in London and they appear to be working properly.
The Sun has reached out to Google for comment.
Gmail has an estimated 2billion active users around the globe, making it the world’s most popular email service.
As well as regular consumers, tens of thousands of businesses use the platform as their primary means of communication.
