Over the past 24 hours, I've had GitHub request that I re-verify my gmail three times (roughly 22 hours ago, 2 hours ago, and now), each time resetting my primary email's status to "Undeliverable" and "Unverified" The triggering event may be an email bounce. I get a lot of github notifications sent to my email, and the failure of just one/a few may trigger the reverification.

Yep, there was a very similar event yesterday, approx. 22 hours ago: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&sid=1&iid=109f5878e60fdfb3c0f64fc9b81752e1 https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&sid=1&iid=10...

  I figured one major incident for Google was enough for the day! We had a bunch of email bounce to @gmail domains yesterday in that timeframe.

  When that happened I panicked a little, realizing how much Google Sheets data I had that wasn't really backed up anywhere since Sheets files in Google Drive are basically just links. I started a Takeout, but it looks like I wasn't the only one - it took well over a day to complete.

    Be sure to verify that it worked. Some settings of Takeout don’t download docs/sheets/slides files. I don’t remember what the default is, unfortunately.

This is another good reason to have email @yourowndomain.tld When this happens, you can spin up a temporary server and have a mechanism in place to redirect email so you don't go down when your provider does.

  I've had way more downtime trying to run my own domain's mailserver for a year than I have with gmail for more than a decade.

    You can redirect to a commercial service as well.

    Use a paid email host, just anything but Google. Life's too short to put up with managing your own email server.

      I switched to a custom domain only when gmail torpedoed one of my secondary gmail accounts.

      It can as well be Google, just the paid Apps version. Zero time to get used to a different UI. I suspect there must be a solution to easily migrate all your tags and filtering rules. (Tags are the killer feature to me. Outlook sort of has them but they are less flexible.)

        does the paid apps version have better uptime? Is it not affected by the current issues?

        My company has paid apps, and we have been facing issues same as everyone else.
