What did I hear about Google never deleting anything? Ain't true in this case...

Update: A representative from Google just sent the following email:

   Hi there TechCrunch folks,

   We saw your post today about Gmail and wanted to let you know what was going on.

   Regretfully, a small number of our users — around 60 — lost some or all of their email received prior to December 18th. Once we found out about this issue, we worked day and night to confirm that only a few accounts were affected and to do whatever we could to restore as much of the users’ accounts as we could. We’ve also reached out to the people who were affected to apologize and to work with them to restore the email from any personal backup they might have.

   We know how important Gmail is to our users – we use it ourselves for our corporate email. We have extensive safeguards in place to protect email stored with Gmail and we are confident that this is a small and isolated incident.

   Thanks,
   Courtney
