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

[Will Kooiman]

That's what I was going to say.

POP3 normally deletes once it has been downloaded, but I think it can be
configured to keep messages.

I switched from earthlink.net to gmail.com because earthlink wouldn't do
IMAP.

A big advantage to IMAP is the ability to read/delete/send e-mail from
multiple devices, and they all sync.  So, if I delete an e-mail on my
iPhone, when I go to my MacBook, it has already been moved to the deleted
folder.

Having said that, look on gmail.com for deleted messages, and if you can't
find them, get gmail support involved.

BTW, it might be possible to recover from a formatted disk.  It depends on
how it was formatted.  It won't be easy or cheap, though.

Charlie,

I see you have received lots of help, so I hope you can salvage something.

Now then.... I only glanced through the replies, so I may be repeating
something, but....

Gmail will let you connect via POP3 or IMAP when using an external mail
client.
If you are using Outlook, you are most likely using IMAP.

If you delete an email from the web front end of gmail, it _should_ delete
it from your Outlook, too, if they sync correctly.
It all depends on your setup.
IMAP likes synching things to be the same unless you tell it not to. At
least, your Inbox, Sent, etc.

Now then, regardless, if you conect via your gmail web client, don't you
have a folder called 'All Mail'?

You should find everything from a very long time ago there. I have something
like 22,000+ emails sitting there.
Ones I've deleted, ones I've sent, ones I've kept, etc.

Check in there and see if gmail has kept it.
Even with all those emails I've got, I'm still only using 75% of the space
they've allocated to me.

Hope that helps.
Kirby
