Google first posted a notice about the problem on Sunday afternoon on a site where it informs users of service problems on applications such as e-mail.

The company says the problem affects less than 0.08 percent of Google mail users, or eight of every 10,000.

That’s down with its earlier estimate that 0.29 percent, or 29 of every 10,000.

Google did not say how many users this translates to.

The company says it expects to resolve the problem for all users in “the near future” but it did not give an exact time.
