Gmail TRASHED my Inbox!

I do not use my Gmail.com account for business. It is my personal account that I use to correspond with friends, family and close business associates.

But I DO use the account and have a number of messages that I have saved for one reason or another.

Around 2 pm MDT I went to check my Gmail account and was SHOCKED to see that my inbox was EMPTY!

I thought, \”surely this must be a mistake\”, because I know I had at least 60 saved messages.

Nope, they were GONE.

Email GONE? Not a happy sight…

I immediately went to Google News (oh, the irony) to do a search for \”Gmail\”. I wanted to see if there were any stories about problems with Google\’s popular email service.

I came up with one article.

Problem with Gmail sends incoming mail to spam.

I checked out this article and then confirmed that I had received one email that indeed showed up in my spam box.

But this didn\’t solve my problem. I was STILL missing all my mail.

I walked around the office and began asking my coworkers if they had any problems.

Most checked out alright, but one person told me he experienced the same thing.

Then he told me that he found ALL his mail in the TRASH folder! Yikes!

I immediately went back to my account and opened the trash folder.

Sure enough, there was my mail that I had entrusted to Google… in the trash can.

So I went through 1000 messages and retrieved mail, moving it to my inbox.

What\’s happening with the Gmail servers? Beats me, but I am thinking about having all my Gmail forwarded to another account that is in my control in case this happens again.
