Gmail failure recently?

[Hank Nussbacher <hank () efes iucc ac il>]

I woke today to find that all my Inbox items from May 1-Nov 15, 2016
were missing.  All other folders are intact.  Missing emails are not in
Spam, Trash, Archive or auto-fwded.  Did pswd reset and have initiated a
request to restore the missing emails, but am wondering whether others
have experienced some sort of Gmail failure in the past 8 hours.

Thanks,
Hank
