kleong 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2010 I logged into my gmail account today and got a shocked when I realised that all the emails were wiped out. Inbox, Send, Trash, Spam, Labels, all of them, squeaky "clean". The account was in order the previous when I check it. I have written to Google for help and is still awaiting their response. As I have used it as my primary email address, it contains a lot of important emails. I remember something similar happened a few years ago.Wonder if anyone have had the same experience before and how know to retrieve all those emails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kleong 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2010 Ok, an "interesting" thing I have discover. When I looked through thrash folder, this is an email that I have found that was unread by me. The date of this email (copy and paste exactly as it is) is the same as the date my account got hacked into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have tried that but is unable to get their contact. Reason being, after I first discovered that my email was wiped out, I went to log in at several terminals to see if it is the same. I should have checked it out the first time. And ya, you are right, Google did not reply to my sos email. Guess I have to do without those important emails.

anwiii 17 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 yea, you'll have to suck it up and accept the loss. when my yahoo got hacked, i had emails from friends and family dating back to the 90's that i had saved. everything was deleted including my facebook account and they even tried to delete my google account which is connected to a lot of things. it's tough, but the only solution is to suck it up, accept it, and choose better security. also try not to log in to your accounts on computers you don't own or even share with someone else because that is what my mistake was.
