Gmail Email Deletion Problematic
A Gmail user had the nasty surprise to see all her inbox completely empty when she opened her Gmail account, on October 27. Unfortunately for her, she lost several important messages, some of which were essential for a work project.
Another user also find out that all her 2007 messages had disappeared from her inbox.

Lately, there has been several users complaining about this problem on blogs and forums, such as on the official Gmail Help forum.
Due to respect for confidentiality, a Google spokesman refused to comment specifically about this matter. However, he stated that “the majority of these problems is the result of a phishing attack or a leak of passwords – also sometimes messages are removed by error or are identified as spam – which is not a problem of data corruption on our servers.”
Google had replied to many users saying that this problematic was not the result of a technical difficulty from their systems and that they should change their password, apparently “compromised“, according to the search engine.
Moral of the story: You should always change your passwords regularly and copy and paste the content of your important messages in a separate document such as Microsoft Word, or at least forward them to another email account just in case something happened; you will then have a saved copy.
