This actually happened to me a few years back and, eventually, they were very helpful. The key for me was providing sufficient proof that the account really was mine and really had been hacked. I gave them as much information as I could remember/check: * some contact names * some tag names * some recent thread subjects/recipients * name of the person who first invited me to GMail back in the day * details of any labs settings, theme etc * mailing list subscriptions I wish I could remember the email address I used to get in touch with them but, as I said, this was years ago now. I definitely found it somewhere publicly available, albeit buried somewhat. HTH
