what happens if your GMail messages disappear?

This is just a blog post so no audio guys.

 

I found this while browsing a technical news group I'm on.

 

..."Asked to comment about multiple lost-message reports in 11
different threads created in September and October in the Gmail Help
forum, a Google spokesman declined to address any of the specific
situations, citing privacy reasons.

However, he did emphasize that, as far as Google is concerned, "most
issues like this are a result of phishing attacks or compromised
passwords -- or sometimes simply messages mistakenly deleted or marked
as spam -- not a data corruption issue."

That explanation makes little sense to savvy and experienced Internet
users like Sessum and Squazzo, who are aware of phishing scams and
know better than to reply to suspicious messages -- let alone include
in them confidential, sensitive information, such as passwords. In
addition, they say they are the only ones with access to their
respective accounts.

Sessum, who also uses the hosted Google Docs applications and other
Google services, expected a more helpful answer from the company,
considering the extent of her data loss.

"In many respects, I'm building my small business on the back of
Google. And I believe that's what Google wants us to do. So it's
imperative that they provide at least a little support when something
goes wrong," said Sessum, who hosts her blog on Google's Blogger
service.

Although consumer Webmail services such as Gmail are generally free,
the user expectation is that the data stored in them will not be
corrupted, Gartner's Cain said."...
