How to Solve temporary error numeric code 2 on Gmail?


Fix 1: Wait for a while and then try again

Sometimes, when you receive a temporary error on Gmail, there is usually nothing serious and some temporary bug is affecting your system.

In this case, you should log out of your Gmail, and come back after a while. For most users, it starts working fine after 20-30 minutes.

If you have some urgent piece of work that cannot wait, you should try the solutions that are listed below.


Fix 2: Your browser is not compatible with Gmail

Is this the first time that you are facing this issue with Gmail because you have switched the browser that you usually log in from?

It might be a clear indication of the fact that your browser is not compatible with the Gmail service.

Try to switch your web browser and see if the issue is still persistent. If it is, then try other solutions on the list.


Fix 3: Check your internet connection

Gmail has a great feature of launching the page even with slow connections but the page quality will usually be reduced in these cases. You will see a standard version of the Gmail page instead of the updated one.

This is done to preserve data while loading for slower connections. 

However, if the connection is not stable, the page might not load entirely and you will face the issue of a temporary error on Gmail.

Check your internet connection to see if it is stable and has a considerable speed.

If the connection is slow, switch to another connection or talk to your internet service provider.


Fix 4: Check if the Gmail server is down

Sometimes, the Gmail server is the issue behind you facing temporary issues with the service. If too many users are present on the platform at once or the platform is undergoing maintenance, you might experience the effects of server crashes.

You can check the status of the Gmail server on Twitter through a simple tweet on the official handle’s account or you can also use free down detector websites on the internet for the same purpose.

If the server is down, you will have to wait for the Gmail team to solve the issue as there is nothing that can be done on your end to solve the issue.


Fix 5: Try the in-private mode

Next, you can try the in-private window of the browser to use Gmail.

This is an unconventional solution but has helped many users get into their mail after they experienced this error code. It might work for you too and is worth a try.


Fix 6: Clear the browser cookies and cache

The other issue that the user support team mentioned was the cookies and cache backup on the browser that you are using for logging into Gmail.

The cookies and cache take a huge chunk of the browser’s working memory if not cleaned on a regular basis and speaking from experience, many people don’t even know that they should be cleaning their browser cookies and cache.

If you didn’t know either, well you know now.

Clean the cookies and cache from the browser, close the browser window, refresh the device, and then try again. 

This might solve the issue for you.
