[DeTomaso] NPC - am I really Information Technologically screwed?

Charlie.

There is a setting in G-Mail that let's you remove if from the server
whenever it is downloaded to Outlook so I would assume that at some point
you set it since it is off by default.

If you still have access to your old hard drive (or a backup of it) search
all of it for a .pst file by seraching for *.pst.  You may find the file
your are missing.

to prevent this in the future:
    Go to www.Microsoft.com and Search for Personal Folders Backup.
            Look for  "Outlook 2007/2003/2003 Add-In: Personal Folders
Backup" and download it to the foloowing suggested location and install it.:
            c:\Install\Microsoft\Personal Folders Backup.
    After install when you click "File" in the top menu bar, there will be a
new selection called "backup".  Click on it and set up a backup schedule.
Locate the backup file so that your regular backups will grab it and save
it.  I set mine for every 2 days.

  Charlie,

  As Gmail is a web based client I'm not sure why e-mail would be erased
when you view or download them in Outlook? I use Hotmail and have Outlook on
my iPad and they do sync, but I can always access either through Outlook or
web based they remain a mirror image. My only suggestion is to contact Gmail
tech support.

  Julian

  Hi all

  My laptop had Windows 8 installed yesterday. Before installing it, I
dutifully backed up all my files, in anticipation of the reformatting.



  I have 2 e-mail accounts, my work account and the gmail account I am using
to write this.



  I saved the two Outlook Data Files that were located in Microsoft/Outlook.
I handed my computer over for the lobotomy.



  I got it back and restored my outlook files, but found that the most
recent e-mail in my gmail account was from July, 2011.



  Long story, but I now see that the Outlook Data File from my gmail account
has “date last modified” of July 2011. This must mean that at some point,
Outlook began storing e-mails elsewhere, but I don’t know where, and at this
point I suppose it doesn’t really matter.



  When you link your Gmail account to Outlook, when you send/receive and the
e-mail is downloaded to Outlook, it disappears from the web-application of
Gmail. It appears on the cloud until you connect, at which point it gets
presumably erased.



  I’ve apparently lost 100% of my e-mails. All the planning for Le Mans
Classic, confirmations of payment, confirmation of schedules… We’re trying
to sell some property on the Mediterranean and we have agreed to meet people
there in 2 weeks and again other in 4 weeks. Their data is all in Outlook. I
use it to store a lot of data, and I’m really kind of screwed if I can’t get
it back.



  Any suggestions?



  If you are going on the LMC trip, I have your e-mail addresses and payment
info in the famous Excel sheet, but not a single e-mail else… Thanks!
