Had to use system restore and lost my gmail, how do I get it back?

Hello rcinaz-ga

Thank-you for your question.

The beauty of GMail is that all of your emails are stored online with
Google and you should never need to delete an email as Google gives
you over 2.5Gb of free space to store your messages in.

To get your Gmail back simply go to the Gmail homepage at
http://www.gmail.com and enter your Gmail email address and password
in the boxes provided.  If you cannot remember your password click on
the "Forgot my password" link and follow the instructions, you should
soon be able to access your account again.

Please be aware that the Researchers here DO NOT work for Google and
have no access to your Gmail account or any of its settings.  We can
only offer you advice on how to use Gmail as a service.

If you require any further assistance on this matter please do not
hesitate to ask for clarification and I will do my best to respond
swiftly.

I should have mentioned that all of your old/read email is stored in
the ALL MAIL link on the side of the GMail interface.  Any email you
have not permanently deleted will be available here.

... I was under the impression that Gmail supports POP email access,
but not IMAP; while rcinaz should be able to get access to his/her
account again, previous emails may be lost if they had been accessed
using POP & were deleted from the server, right?
