I'm sure I did not delete those (I hardly ever delete) and also when I find them I have to manually recover every message of long threads!<br />Sent a bug report but never heard back.<br />robiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-42581452128999356212011-02-28T19:14:15.196-08:002011-02-28T19:14:15.196-08:00I imagine there are backups, at least I hope.

Not everyone has great backup strategy, I have email from 198?, but that is rare for most people.

The added complexity and potential for slower recovery times is worth it to get better availability, or use less storage space, or even both at the same time.>><br /><br />I'm guessing that the ~2 million of the Gmail users that are affected by this outage might not necessarily agree that the slower recovery times are 'worth it'.quenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-43203584856068258672011-02-28T06:44:48.001-08:002011-02-28T06:44:48.001-08:00ohmygod! fortunately I use my gmail accout only fo...ohmygod! fortunately I use my gmail accout only for non-private stuff...Joehttp://www.medienstammtisch.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-79856798340088565112011-02-28T06:02:24.608-08:002011-02-28T06:02:24.608-08:00I use http://www.messagebunker.com/I use http://www.messagebunker.com/Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452464782395869356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-57550787793605018092011-02-28T05:14:57.611-08:002011-02-28T05:14:57.611-08:00Live Mail also had this problem.
