 Reports of mass Gmail deletions...

Some users are reporting on their blogs, as well as a Digg article, that there is a flaw with Firefox and/or Gmail causing Gmail e-mail to unexpectedly delete.

I haven't had the time to research these stories in full and am posting here asking if anybody else has any news on this "problem"?

Tech Crunch has an article on their website: »www.techcrunch.com/2006/12/28/gm···letions/
and Digg reports »digg.com/tech_news/Gmail_Disaste···eletions

Misleading:

"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"

60 users is not "mass" deletions and the issue has been resolved.

Thanks La Luna See Profile for the reply. When I was working at my former job we had 61 user accounts hosted with Gmail's domain mail support and one day I came in and all but 17 were missing.

See the thread I started back in August »groups.google.com/group/hosted-t···baeeb119
