Thankfully mine is fully intact, rather the only hitch faced is the labeling system as the folder system does look more easy and compact, always wish to keep the inbox light with named folders to keep the emails in them even if it means to be read later on. Now have more than 300 mails and have to go about labeling them and then consider which ones get deleted - wish Gmail could give the folder system to its wonderful mail system that keeps increasing space, mine is 2.8+ gb thanks Gmail do look into the Folder system please.

As I travel a lot, I don't have the leisure of having permanent access to my mail, so saying that mails lost are my problem, and not the problem of the mail service (catch that? mail service) that I connect to, before I've had the chance to connect, is ridiculous. Either they can provide a reliable, trustworthy service, or there's no point in using it at all. Have Google actually said what caused the problem yet, on either occasion?
