The fix is taking longer than originally expected, but is progressing. A programming error in a software update related to e-mail storage is to blame, Treynor writes. As a result, an estimated 150,000 Google users worldwide lost their emails. According to estimates, a total of around 200 million people use the US company's free e-mail service.
