hi evereyone, my gmail account was compromised yesterday and who ever did get my password and log in as me deleted everything I had ( emails, labels, the lot ) Is there anyway I can either get google to restore all of this and if not then at least found out who did this ?
Ive lost a lot of important info and am to say the least a bit narked off !

Pretty sure you can't, but do report this instance to Google.
You should make a backup of all your gmail stuff. There are programs to do that. One simple way is to create another gmail account (or even at another site if you want) and copy all emails to there. Set this in your gmail account settings.

I'm sorry but I don't think I can help you much, really. There can't be much done. Check your recycling bin as quickly as you can to see if they're still not in there. Try contacting google and writing several complaints until you're heard. In the future I advise that you forward all your emails frequently to another account just for storage. another gmail perhaps. Something like storageunit.123@gmail.com Just to keep your extra emails. I hope you get your stuff back and I'm sorry about what did happen to you; I'm sorry I wasn't able to help much.

Sorry there is no possible way to restore that information. Google can not do that.
