Didn't something similar happen to Hotmail last year?  I don't understand why people leave all their emails on the servers, rather than downloading it to their own machines.  I wouldn't trust a 'cloud' with all my personal data.

I only store backups of important mail on GMail.  I have no wish to lose my sheep contacts.   :blush:

You'd be better off storing backups on a local drive, Clive.
