Have you ever lost any emails from your Gmail account?

Submitted by filip.jurcicek on 15. May 2008 - 15:06.

This is quite old story (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061230-8524.html) but still important. They report that many users lost emails form their Gmail account. What about you?

They recomend to regulary backup emails stored in the Gmail account. I will cite the source:

Gmail users should consider using the service's POP functionality for backup purposes. For those of us that depend on consistent and reliable mail access for business, mail backups are as important as document backups if not more so.

As you can read here http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2006/12/gmail_disaster_google_confirm..., even Google advise their own users to backup their emails. So, it is probably better to do it.
