You're going to argue about this with me? Any idea how that will turn out?

My wife had that happen to pics she thought she saved. We got an external hard drive and I asked her to slow down & think about what you are doing. She was so happy to have them back, she just said ok & smiled.

Most all your photos and email are saved in the cloud. When selecting things to be deleted, be careful not to select all or check all.

I still don't exactly understand how she did this, her phone memory was full so she was deleting emails and somehow deleted everything quite effectively.
She doesn't have an iPhone with a combined inbox does she?

We have an employee that had both his personal work email and the main department email. He accidentally deleted the entire department email while cleaning out his inbox ... twice.

OK, why is this comment in this thread? Why was it necessary to introduce politics into this thread?

Does this help the OP? Or does it bring out the admin, asking pointed questions?


Was an attempt at humor.
It was not intended to be politicol.

No, it does not help the OP, and I appoligize for stepping in it and bringing it in the house.

Last thing in my motivation, is to bring crap into this forum.

Question: Was she able to recover all her email by herself with Gmail's guidance/directions or did the people at gmail have to really recover it from their servers?



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Rey HRH, Gmail did all the recovery work. She emailed them and gmail fixed it. Cool

Only issue is that all the recovered emails are listed as unread and there are over a thousand of em. Big Grin


Sigmonkey, I always enjoy your posts. Your quick wit and exquisite sense of humor brightens my day every day.

Bendable, she was kinda sneaky about it. She said to Gmail that her account had been hacked and someone must have deleted all her emails. Russians probably. Big Grin it worked though.
