"The tech-savvy Obama White House is suffering the inconvenience and embarrassment of an e-mail crash that has lasted 
several hours this afternoon, 
according to published reports.

The outage was announced at 1:30 p.m. during a regular briefing at which Press Secretary Robert Gibbs
apologized to reporters for the administrations failure to answer e-mails, reports say.

White House e-mails rely on an Outlook server that apparently crashed, but the administration didnt explain the exact 
cause of the outage."
