Google Mail - Help Please

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been unable to log into my googlemail account for the last three days. I notice on the help page that their appear to be about another 256 people today who have this problem. Also the mobile phone users are in a similar position.
The others users are able somehow to post a message on the GM help site. GM will not even let me log into that.
Like others I have found that when I look at Tools/Connections that the my user address has been changed to .co.uk and should be .com
Having changed it back I still cannot log in I have done every single thing possible following all the instructions in fine detail.
When my Google Home Page comes up on the very top line instead of 'e' http: I have the BBC logo. The google mail tab is RED which means tht I am locked out.
Strange thing is if I use Windows mail I can send and receive mail using the googlemail. Of course I still cannot see my files stored on the site.
Do you think that the site is being hacked into (if that is the correct word)?

Do either of these links work for you, especially the second one.

Thank you all for your replies and like Dorsetdales after three days without access. I switched on late last evening and there it was bold as brass as if nothing had ever happened.
Alan I will keep the links just incase I need them in the future.
J - no I just could not use it in any form. A friend sent me an email via google last evening and I wonder if that cleared it.

Cheers,
