Hmm, I've been using GMail almost since it was first available and have never had a problem like you describe. (I just logged into it now to make sure.) Every once in a while, and not recently, it would say the severs are busy, but a few minutes later they would be back. I have had some goofy things happen with Google Docs since they recently incorporated the Google Gears 'Offline' feature, where you can save your Docs to your local disk until you reconnect to the internet. I'm not sure how to describe even what happens, but sometimes it just seems to get "stuck".
I'm not sure if this linked page will remain as is, so I'll copy what it says below. Apparently you are part of the unlucky "subset" of users. (Thanks for your continued patience)
We're aware of users reporting the Temporary Error (502) error on
login. Our engineers are investigating and we will keep you updated on
this thread. We appreciate your patience, and we apologize for any
inconvenience this may have caused.
Thanks,
Gmail Guide
