On Monday, Google Inc said that it has resolved an issue, which is began at about 5 p.m. EDT, with its contacts system that caused many users of its Gmail service to have trouble accessing their online e-mail.

An announcement on the company’s Gmail “Help Center” site said the issue is now resolved. Moreover, Google said an outage in the contacts system used by Gmail prevented the e-mail system from loading properly. Google added that there might be minor delays in deliveries even though all mail is safe.

Users across the U.S., Canada and India reported problems with Gmail and a Google employee reported that the company’s own corporate e-mail account was down.
