If you allowed other users or apps to know your password, or if your
password previously was easy to guess, it makes it easy for a third party
to access your Google account and do malicious things. When information is
important to you, don't let that happen. Once important information is
gone, it's gone. It is YOUR responsibility to keep it safe.
In Gmail, have you checked your Trash to see if the missing email messages
are there? If the only thing you did was a Search for them, it would not
find them there because Search does not include Trash unless you
specifically tell it to ("in:trash" or "in:anywhere").
If the suspected problem was recent, you can check who has recently logged
in to your account by clicking on the "Details" link in the lower right
corner of your Gmail screen. It may show you suspicious activity. But if
your apps had access to your account, that might be all that you see there.
The other thing to consider is backing up your Gmail (and Google Docs).
Having only one, irreplaceable copy is inviting trouble.

Andy
