GMAIL problems

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum: mods feel free to shunt it to the right one...

Gmail for me, is an impossible thing to use.
I never know when I can depend on it. I never see anything in my "Inbox", I have sent 100s of test messages from my Yahoo email account, and never see them in Gmail.

My really big problem is that most of anything to do with Google is registered to my Gmail account, and I do not receive "renewal notices", and right now, I can't get a reply to a "forgotten password".

After spending a lot of time searching, I finally discovered 50 messages in Trash.... apparently anything not responded to within XY days gets automatically deleted?

I did a select ALL and moved all of the Trash messages to Inbox, and now my cellphone can see those emails.

But, there is something wrong in my Google Gmail Account Configuration.... almost has to be.
Any Gmail gurus out there able to help me?

Thanks in Advance, as always....
John
