Nope.  At the time I was just writing an email and then it wasnt working so I refreshed and got that message.  Never heard of Gmail Drive.

Then just contact them at that email address they put. It might be some sort of mistake from their side.

If you suspect that the unusual usage of your account has been caused by
a

to
access your account again within 24 hours.

If you are using any software that automatically logs in to your account,
or automatically sends and receives messages, we ask that you disable
the
software before accessing Gmail again. Please note that the use of such
third-party software is not supported by Gmail.

Sincerely,

The Gmail Team


:(, so I wont have access until 11:45PM tommorow :(.  This sucks!

Demz, it isn't a problem with the refreshing of the service, if you look above where you receive your emails, there is a link that says 'refresh' so that you refresh, this is just a basic refresh script and does the same as what it would you if you press F5 or the refresh button (w/e)...

I don't see why they have sent that email, are you sure it isn't just an april fool's by somebody or something, have you tried using gmail?!... I can't see why they would send that, unless somebody with a dodgy IP or proxy tried to access your gmail :s... I don't know, I didn't think that gmail systems would be that smart to do so... I only know of paypal doing that :).
