I actually did what Guy said when I used Thunderbird Gmail app (I think) with the default settings. It had created an IMAP instead of a POP account and I started deleting stuff I thought was still on the server. Lucky for me I was able to undelete most of it. But if I had emptied that trash, I would have been in serious trouble.

Glad you got them back, I didn't.
I got a Blackberry a few years ago and the device had the annoying habit of duplicating contacts.
So I thought I would clear the Blackberry device and re-synch the device - little did I realise that after I deleted the contacts the re-synch would remove every contact I had saved over the past four years from my google account.
This was before google offered the restore from backup 
I have learnt my lesson and am loath to synch devices nowadays.

I have an Android phone and a Gmail account, it automatically synchs my device too. However, I hate the fact that when I transfer everything from one phone to the other, Google doesn't check if the duplicate exists. I have to go in and manually delete all the duplicates. Can't please all the people all the time, I guess.

Did you check the Recent Activity thing? Somewhere around the lower right corner, IIRC. Check if it's really compromised.

Yes, I've checked that and it only appears what I've done today...

Check the auto-forwarding options to make sure his new password was not automatically forwarded to another account. Also, at the bottom, Gmail has a link for when you last logged in and which IP was used. If you click it, it should show you the last X instances.

AFAIK GMail starts deleting messages without a label and which are not archived after a certain timeframe.
If your father hasn't used labels and / or the archive-button for incoming emails (I assume he used neither one of both, since you say that he hates tech) GMail might have deleted the old messages in order to free a bitta space.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

It looks like my project would be better served as a blog, rather than a series of articles. Does anyone have any recommendations for a blogging site?

Either I have missed something, or everybody here seemed to think an article series were better. I can only confirm that, unless your main requirement is to keep "people" (who ?) informed in a timely manner about the development. But to document the result, it is far more better as an article in my opinion, plus the visibility you gain on CP.
You may also want to blog on CP, same features as for the articles, with the "blog effect" added. Here is where we reader would follow you : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogArticleList.aspx?amid=10103433[^].

Don't remove your article just yet. I'm putting some comments in there that I hope will help - and in this case, I think Griff is wrong (and right at the same time).

I've been wrong before - but not normally right as well...

Sure. I've posted a new version of the article. I'd like your opinion, when you get a chance.

I hear there's a site that allows you to create technical blogs specifically for developer perusal, and has such treats as code formatting without too much pissing about.
Hmm, where was that site, again?
Hang on, let me check my bookmarks.
