Hello ,

I am one of the development team member and I would like to say that we have to prepare for such situation always because “Prevention is better than cure”..
and to prevent such losses, we need to have regular backup for email acocunt.
There is a simple tool called Beyond Inbox which lets you enable to take backup and provides many different feature. Follow the link-

Google is down again (4/24 & 4/25/2008) – and it has been down for at least 12 hours. This is occurring more and more, and I can no longer trust Google. I’m switching back to my ISP. This is getting ridiculous. Even Lycos is more reliable than Google.

I wouldnt say Google is like Microsoft in terms of quality. Maybe in size and infulence on the online world but personaly I would say google is WAY ahead of MS in terms of quality of product, usefullness and quality of the brand not to mention price!

No company is perfect but IMHO google even with the few outages is way up there.

To me, it seems Gmail is running into lots of quality problems recently. Not just downtimes, but also browser issues.

It’s clear that Google is the new Microsoft in power – does anyone else feel like me they are also the new Microsoft in terms of quality?

My suggestion is to configure your Gmail account via pop or imap and download your emails into your hard disk and backup it. I always do it.
