I accidentally (long story) deleted all my Google contacts. They are all just sitting there in my Sent and All Mail folders, however. Is there an easy way to re-add them to My Contacts in Gmail. Or do I have to just patiently email everyone over time?

When using Safari, since the weekend, I have noticed that whenever I do a Google search with the search field in the browser, it looks as if my girlfriend is still logged on on Google via my computer. I tried reseting the browser, restarting it, logging in to Google as myself and logging out, even clearing the cooking, cache and history manually, and still eventually it looks like she is still logged in. What gives? [more inside]

Gmail Hosted Apps attachment weirdness. I administrate a hosted apps account; recently a MS Publisher file was sent to everyone in the organisation, all were able to open it originally, bar one person, who for some reason, when attempting to download, could only download as a zip file. Tested the same situation in Firefox on XP at home (the situation occurs on IE6/XP) and it downloads fine. Tested with another account on XP/IE 6 and i find this is the same case, i.e. only able to download the MS Publisher file as a zip file. Has anyone else experienced this weirdness? is this due to Google withdrawing support for IE6?

I'm having a great deal of trouble receiving my University email in Outlook 2000. My University uses Google Apps, which allows me to use Gmail as my webmail service, but does not assign me a Google or Gmail account. The domain of my email address is myuniversity.edu, not gmail.com. For this reason, Outlook does not recognize the username and password that I use to log into my email (through my university's website). I have tried following gmail's tutorial (complicated by the fact that they don't offer one for Outlook 2000) with no success. I've tried reporting my incoming mail server as both pop.gmail.com and pop.myuniversity.edu. Any ideas? Did I miss any important info?

Gmail: I've been getting the Gmail 502 Error that they said was resolved on Monday for almost a solid 24 hours now (24 hours without Gmail - argh!). Since there's nothing posted about it in Announcements and Alerts, I'm starting to wonder if the Gmail folks are unaware there is a problem. How do I contact Gmail about this given, that, you know, my only email is currently not working. Is there a "trouble report form" or some such thing somewhere that I'm not finding?

Does anyone know for sure? Thanks
