You may have just received an email from Xoopit saying "Xoopit is not currently able to communicate with your mail service." Gmail had a blip today in their IMAP support. Unfortunately this triggered an over aggressive communication with you, our users.
We want to reduce email clutter. We do not like when we mistakenly send you a message. Our apologies.
First, there is nothing you did wrong and nothing you need to do. Once Gmail is fixed we'll automatically start working again.
Second, we are fixing our communication system with you so we aren't so quick to notify you of issues communicating with Gmail.
Thanks again for you support and feedback in our beta!
I've heard that Gmail may be permanently disabling IMAP access, whether to maximize ad profits by forcing people to access their gmail accounts from the web, instead of through Outlook or other services. If so, this doesn't sound like a good thing for you. What is Gmail doing, and are you going to be able to be able to continue offering your service?
