I don't know if something changed in outlook 2010 or with gmail, but in the
past, leave mail on the server was not necessary for gmail pop accounts -
gmail ignored the client and used the settings configured in gmail.

Depends how you configured the gmail account in Outlook, if via pop mail
then all mail would have been downloaded to Outlook unless you set the
option to leave a copy on the server.
Restore points have no impact on data

I used Outlook 2010 Beta for the first time today...first time I've ever
used
Outlook. I added three email accounts, the default one being my personal
gmail account. After adding them, I read some of my emails...was
thinking
how cool this was....when I discovered I was unable to log into gmail
accounts from my Firefox browser. I then deleted the email accounts from
Outlook. The only account affected by all this is my default personal
email
account at gmail, somehow all of my inbox emails were deleted. Vanished.
Poof!!! I tried two different restore points and both times got error
message
they had failed to restore. Any ideas on how to restore/retrieve the
missing
emails? I'm on an Acer Aspire 5516 laptop, vista 32 os. Not sure if this
is
the right place to ask, but I haven't been able to find any other way to
address this issue. Thanks for any help.
