Unfortunately this requires you to be able to log in. I had an account (with the same name I use here) mysteriously stop being able to log in about 6 years ago. I lost all of my email, contacts, and calendars. I was never able to find out why the account was shut down, I'm guessing it was a ToS violation for something I did several months before I got banned (made 100+ gmail accounts with my invites, didn't use them…
It will be interesting to see how many people that have been demanding this for years actually make the leap!

Wait, so you weren't backing up your email account?

Thank you, Google. Glad to hear that the Data Liberation Front is alive and well: http://www.dataliberation.org/ From 2006: "We would never trap user data," he [Schmidt] said. [1] http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/google-ceo-eric-schmidt-we-wou...

Why would Google keep a copy of your mail if your account was deactivated for 6 years? Isn't that asking a bit much considering you were the one that broke the ToS?
At least according to the page I get when I try to log in, they still have the data: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/40695?hl=en&ctx=c...
I don't disagree that Google was within their right to shutdown my account, but it seems silly that something I did at 19 has gone on this long.

Wait, how many people back up their gmail account?
How does anyone get upset when something they're not paying for stops working?

I don't know anyone that backs up their gmail account. I'm sure many people here do, but I am fairly certain 99% of users do not.
