Note the passive voice, Parker never claimed that Google told him that. 
It was probably "Bob" that told him. Of course, problems with the 
"database tables" might cause loss of old messages or possibly other 
quirky behavior, but if they've been deleted I see no reason why 
somebody couldn't start over with the same email address as before.
