Well, mail's up and running, but not without a battle to rectify issues. Thing is, I was a tad over-efficient in filtering spam mail. After a day or two of my inbox showing "empty", I thought to check trash. Yep, there y'all were... family and friends, discarded. How awful! Sooooo...
Into gMail wandered I, to remove all filters. It seems that many legit types became casualties in my spam war. Perhaps I've lost the battle, but the war's not over. So sorry.
